on thursday afternoon my mom came down and stayed the night. the kids were excited to see her and play games with her.
friday morning mom headed home and the 4 of us packed up and headed out for derek and sarah's house in waupaca. we took some back roads which were pretty and were able to stop at our little zoo in marshfield that we used to stop at after trevor's eye appointments. they had some new features but most of the animals were hiding out due to the heat. we didn't stay long; we grabbed lunch in marshfield too then got back on the road.
once we arrived at derek and sarah's we said hi to them, their boys chapman 7, channing 5, and to shane, jodi, luke almost 6, and henrik 3.5 who were there too! we unpacked then got in their above ground pool because it was hot! shane, jodi and their boys stayed in derek's parent's camper with a/c and we stayed in the boys' rooms upstairs. sarah does daycare so she had a crib all set up that tova could use which was awesome!
even though it was HOT all weekend, we had a blast! the kids loved the pool and trampoline as well as playing with each other. all of the kids did awesome! there were no big fights or yelling, it was amazing! derek and sarah made delicious food, had yummy brandy slush, and were terrific hosts!
saturday was 4th of july! the kids pooled in the morning with the moms and after nap/quiet time with the dads. sarah took jodi and i on a drive around waupaca and at nap time the dads went to the local small brewery. shane put on a small firework show for us about 8 then it was bed time for the kids.
sunday morning we had a nice slow breakfast and coffee then got packed up and headed home. tova was upstairs getting dressed while the little boys went outside to play and when she came down she looked around and said, "where's my boys?" it was SO cute!! she did great being the youngest and only girl!!!
monday we had some outside time in the morning and after nap but otherwise had a relaxing, laundry day.
