Kalahari Here We Come

After 3 years of working non stop we finally took a break and had a family vacation!  This was our youngest(Kiley) first ever vacation, unless you count the 1st time we went when she was in the womb.  We went to the Kalahari Resort for 2 days, 3 nights, and our trip ended up being even better then expected!  As we were checking in my husband casually asked if there was an possibility for us to be upgraded to the bigger rooms.  After speaking with the manager and much to our surprise they upgraded us to the lodge(FREE).  They had a deal on their Kalahari Facebook page for free tickets for the 6th, but we weren't going to be there that day, so they threw in tickets to their NEW adventure park too!  I'm pretty sure the room we were in was bigger then both of the apartments we lived in before buying a home.  The room came fully equipped with all the basics you need to cook, your only job was to stock the fridge.  We had an awesome view of the Resort from the balcony.  Vince & I were suppose to take turns making breakfast, but he surprised me and made breakfast both days.  The only downside to the trip was me forgetting the cameras at home.  These photos were taken by hubbys phone, I swear I'm really not that terrible at taking pictures lol

Best Vacation Ever

SOOOO enjoying this wonderful break from usual life!  My gift for Sweetest day this year was a break from my 'job' ranging from scrubbing the toilets to cooking dinner!  I enjoyed it immensely. It worked out perfectly that my husband was taking a 4 day vacation. Of course when the idea was first mentioned I will admit I laughed thinking to myself 'yeah right'.  Shockingly I was proved wrong and loving every minute of it!  We are now on day 3 and I can't recall one thing I've had to clean, cook, or bath the kids!  Anyone that knows me know that is a big thing!  I'm the one that goes crazy if there dare be a spec of dirt on the floor or a stain on the childrens clothes, an item not in it's place, the baby rearranged my pantry.  Mind you it rarely happens that my house is anywhere near to what I would prefer, but when you have 3 children and a husband it's not always possible.  Except now HE's the one taking care of everything!  To know that I won't have to go downstairs and clean the kitchen after the dinner mess, bath the kids, do laundry, clean the house, divide up the chili he made into future meals is so.......peaceful. Did I mention he even bought me my favorite cake and the biggest bag of Halloween candy he could find?  Now thats true love =)
