Sascha has been asking on when we're going on a trip for months now. She was excited! The kids did great on our very smooth 6 hour drive, so we were off to a great start.
When we arrived we were greeted by Mike & Amy's 3 dogs (besides Mike, Amy and their 5 kids). Sascha and Cameron are not used to dogs... there were tears... scared faces... I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out... but slowly with each day we were there the kids adjusted to them and actually really liked them. Sascha became almost obsessed with the smaller dog "Jack" and went looking for him so she could pet him and be near him. It was really amazed at how they took to them.
Our first day there we took everyone to a trampoline place. The kids had a BLAST! It was us, 7 kids and their nanny to help... wow craziness! But it all went well, and we even stopped by and had pizza on the way home. Total success!
The next few days we just chilled out and the house, played tennis, relaxed. It was just nice to get away for a little bit and catch up with everyone. Edna and her family arrived the next day, so we got to hang out with them for a bit as well. Its been over 3 years sine we saw Edna's family because they live in Connecticut and they have never met Cameron before...
The kids were so well behaved while we were there, Sascha really enjoyed playing with the girls, and Cameron was just easy going as he usually is. On our last day there Cameron got sick with a fever so I was really dreading our drive back. We decided to leave a bit later than we originally planned and it actually was the best decision ever. We got home late, and were of course tired (especially daddy who drove the whole way back) but it was a very peaceful drive. We all had dinner already and only had to stop once for gas and bathroom, and hit almost no traffic. I gave Cameron some medicine which I had hoped would last 6 hours and it did! So we just transferred the kids to their beds once we got home and they hardly fussed.
