It is 1 week till school starts. In the past, we have taken a little vacation after school starts, but this year that won't work...at least not during the week. Our big girl is going to Kindergarten! With life on the farm, it is going to be tight to fit in going somewhere. Dean has hay down that needs to be baled. Rain would be nice, though, too! The corn, milo, and beans are needing it.
We have discussed doing little things here and there that we have talked about with the kids. Alana would like to go fishing, or swimming at the lake. It is too hot in Kansas for a trip to the zoo, which would be fun. After school shopping with Alana at the mall, I told Dean we could just go there and ride the escalator! They also have other toys to ride. We would like to stay at a hotel at least so it seems like a getaway! The kids want to go see Uncle Mark and Tammy in Topeka. They usually come this way and we usually have farm business so we can't go that way.
We will have to see what works out yet. We can always do weekend fun things, too, after school starts. When talking to Alana about school starting, she says we haven't gone on vacation yet!
