My oldest son Connor’s amazing Godparents are in Lake Tahoe and invited us to come stay with them. Their 2 boys plus my 4 boys, I’m sure this will be a nice quiet, relaxing time – NOT! It was Really, Really loud but we all had a blast!
Yep, Count them 6 little boys! (and 1 big one)
We spent the night then went swimming at their club, hard to put this club into words let’s just say we were living the high life-I could totally get used to it!!
Loving Life! (and a toy I can chew on)
At the end of the day hoping we stayed long enough to miss all of the rush hour traffic, we say our goodbyes and start heading out to the car. If you have been following my blog I am happy to report my son Aidan has not let me down and has unbelievably managed to once again lose his shoes. Feeling like a broken record “Aidan” I say, “Where are your shoes?” Well there was a bit of confusion on how they were lost but they were lost. I spent the next 45 minutes running around the pool and clubhouse looking for the $3.00 Jackson Hole Flip Flops before I decided it was not worth it. Just as I am about to walk out the gate an employee starts flagging me down from across the pool holding them. Walking out to the car I notice Aidan is stopping every 2 feet or so to fiddle with the flip flops so, I finally ask him what the problem is. It turns out they kept coming apart, so after spending 45 minutes searching for these lost $3 designer flip flops, they actually don’t even work anymore, lovely. We have a 4 hour drive until we get to our final destination in California which we will then stay for a few weeks with my Mother-in-Law. Estimated time of arrival 9:00 p.m. Stop for quick food break, only 3 hours to go! Planned perfectly we miss all of the rush hour traffic and are cruising along, only 2 hours to go!! Starting to recognize the sites around me, only 1 hour to go! I start to get a little emotional – I can’t believe I just drove from Chicago to California with my 4 little boys! I feel amazing, like I just won some sort of Olympic Medal, only 30 minutes to go! Yeah….can’t be that easy. The entire way I have been fortunate to avoid all traffic, but now 20 minutes away I am at a dead stop because of construction. Sitting in the car so close but so far, all I could do is laugh. Finally at 10:15 p.m. we arrive and am greeted by the boys Grandma and a glass of Champagne!! Lost a couple pair of shoes along the way, but we made it!
