Two weekends in a row of too much fun just might be too much to bear (LOL!)!
Last weekend, we took the boys out of school on Friday so that we could come check out the Fresno/Clovis area. We spent the day driving around neighborhoods, being moderately successful at locating parks, schools, nice houses with green grass and big backyards, and then driving home. While it was fun, it was exhausting! I spent the rest of the weekend trying to convince Brady that we needed to do something fun for the kids (AKA buy a waterslide) because we had canceled their swimming lessons, gymnastics, and all other ventures for the summer since he was laid off. By Sunday, I had been successful (was there any doubt?), and we bought the kids an inflatable waterslide. More pictures to come on that later. Needless to say, that was one of the best purchases we have ever made! No joke! The kids played on it for over two hours, and cried when it was time to come in. It didn't matter to them that we only put 2-3 inches of water in it (we're in a drought, you know, and need to conserve water)...they had a blast! And yes, I let them skip their showers that night because they had to have gotten at least moderately clean while playing, right?
This weekend, we are back in Fresno/Clovis. Actually, we are technically in Selma at the moment...but it's all basically the same area. Brady starts work on Monday, and we're meeting my parents at the RV park tomorrow to get him all set up for the week. The kids and I thought it would be fun to "see him off" so we tagged along. We spent the day checking out more areas of interest, and low and behold, we found the park jackpot! It was fantastic!!! And, I have to admit, a lot more encouraging considering we are possibly moving here this summer. :O) We played, at ice cream, played in the hotel pool, checked out some model homes, and are now relaxing in the very comfy Holiday Inn in Selma. The beds are incredibly soft, by the way, and the service is excellent!
Tomorrow, we'll check out some more homes (now is the best time to buy, right?!), and then meet up with my parents around noon. The kids and I will head back to Roseville after lunch, and will spend the week working, going to school, and missing Daddy. Hopefully, the week will fly by...he'll be home on Friday.
That's what we've been up to...what about you?
