One thing that is cool is that my Parents are retired so they can help take the kids to fun events and can travel with them. This time with our church my parents took them to Nebraska on a train. The train ride took 24 hrs. So while the kids were away it was still normal life for mom and dad. I know you call more and are always asking what they are doing . We also had a nice dinner at red lobster with just the two of us,We went to work and clean up as the day went. The one thing that we did for fun was go to Lagoon with my brother and sister in law and nephew.

This was my favorite picture of my nephew and brother walking around at Lagoon.
