Last friday the 15th Cortney called me from work at about 11 and said “Hey lets go up to your moms trailer(Green Acres) and eat.” I told him that if I was going to pack all the kids up and drive the 45 minutes to get there that we were going to stay overnight and not just eat. I probably should have thought this through a little more before telling Cortney and the kids. Getting all the food, sleeping bags, warm clothes together and 4 kids ready to go was a little more than I bargained for. We finally got everything packed into “Vinnie Man” and left Ephraim about 6:30(hour and half later than I wanted) and arrived at Green Acres at about 7:15. Cortney got the fire started and we roasted hot dogs(no marshmallows because I forgot to pack them). Then we played some games and set up for bed. Ashton and the twins did suprisingly well. They all went to sleep without any problems and slept through the night until about 8 Saturday morning. Dylan on the other hand was a different story. I neglected to pack a pacifier and he kept waking up about every 30 minutes screaming because he didn’t know where he was and he wasn’t in a crib(we tried to put him in between us on the queen bed). The next morning was great. Cortney cooked breakfast and then the family went for a walk while I packed the car. Everyone loved it and we are excited to go back soon. This time with a little more planning.
