I know this is a really long time in coming. I've been so busy and worn out since we got back. Today I've had a small burst of energy though. This past week Mom and I organized my attic and got every thing together for a garage sale which we then had on Fri and Sat. It went really well and with the money we made from it we are getting a double stroller along with some other baby things that will come in handy now that we will have two.
I don't think we could have fit a flea in our car.
As for our vacation... All in all we had a great time even though it was not at all how I had envisioned our first family vacation. The time we were able to spend together just as a family was great, something we don't do a lot at home between Tim's three jobs and hanging out with our friends and family. The weather did not cooperate with our plans at all. It started raining before we left Harrison and continued to rain for the majority of the trip. We set up camp in the rain and ended up six days later taking it down in the rain and hail. We never were able to start a camp fire. One evening we were awakened by the sound of growling and scratching on the side of our tent. Tim yelled at the creature and only to anger it, he shined a light at it and poked at the side of the tent with a hotdog stick. By this time we figured out it was a raccoon, but we were too late the monster had already torn a hole into the side of our tent. Saturday and Sunday there was talk of tornadoes so we headed to find a hotel. All this sounds like we had a terrible time but we really didn't . We were able to visit the zoo, the City Museum, the Childrens Magic House Museum, as well as Grant's Farm. It was great, but I have to say I am still quite a homebody. Here are a few of the promised pictures.

James was not pleased that I made him stay in the car while we set up camp.
The hotel was sooo nice and dry.
Ishies!
If you look closely you will see a penguin in the background. I thought Tim was capturing them with us in the side line, um I guess not. :)
Yes, I was horrified as he smeared paint through his hair.
Playing in the water area at the magic museum. I love the smock!

Great photos. And I must say, you are a real trooper. You did better than I would have ever guessed being 4 weeks away from a new baby, non-stop rain, monster racoons and all. Glad you had so much fun and you all made it home in one soggy piece.
Looks like fun was had by all - best wishes as you wait for baby!!
ha, i like his halter! i think george has the same one!
What fun pictures-lots to remember. Glad you found a good motel for a few days. top
Ooh, I like! So glad you had fun. Can't wait till James can tell us about it. hahaha :)
Good grief, you are a daredevil- tent camping when you are pregnant! We did that once when I was only 5 months pregnant and I could barely get up and out of the tent! Haha! Sounds like you all had a fun time though, funny to read your blogs since our kids are small and doing similiar things!
