Highlights from Each

Yesterday I asked all my people what their favorite thing/memory was on vacation.  Let's start with the littlest one...

E said her favorite thing was the magic show and going to the park with the ducks.   Funny how the simplest/free thing like going to a park left such an impression in her mind.  (Definite note/reminder to this over scheduling-entertaining-money spending-mom;)

F's favorite of course was getting her long awaited tattoo (oh my am I in trouble in a few years to keep her from doing the real deal)!  She also said that she liked the Alpine Coaster rides. So surprising as she is usually the first one to pipe up and say that she doesn't want to ride anything.  Her first trip down was with Sabryn which I am sure was quite a bit slower than her second ride down with G.  Apparently both were fun and she loved the experience which is a big deal in this sensory processing disorder child.

S favorites were the big magic show and going shopping in Gatlinburg.  S is a big shopper and she just loves browsing around looking at all the different stuff in the little shops.  She bought herself a new sweatshirt this time around.  So funny as the last time she bought one was also in Gatlinburg.  Guess they are only made good enough for her in Gatlinburg.

T wasn't with us on our trip this year.  He went to Dauphin Island in Alabama to the beach with a friend.  I only received a couple of pics from my teenager of course, but from the looks of it, he had a great time.  He said it was really nice and that he had a lot of fun.  He even came back with a nice tan after just a week in the sun.

Sabryn's favorite event from the week was the Alpine Coaster.  She said it was super cool and a lot of fun.  She and C went down together on the second run, so I am certain they went super fast all the way from hearing the screams from S for C to slow down lol.

C claims his favorite activity from Spring Break was his fishing tournament where they placed 17th out of 186 boats on Saturday!  It was another State qualifier, so he is very happy about that.  No mention of our vacay together as all he ever thinks about is fishing...ack.

G's comment on his favorite thing from the week was beating me at putt putt golf...what?!?  That in itself should give you some insight into our unique relationship LOL ;)

For me, well...I simply enjoyed spending time with all the people I love dearly!! Soaking in life together, doing new things together, experiencing different sights and sounds together, making each other laugh together, and mainly simply making memories together.  I hope and pray that all my kids know how much I love them and enjoy being their mom.  I know that G and I are just starting out with our new life experiences as a 'family' and I hope that these early memories are great ones that we   will be able to share for a lifetime to come.

So just want to send out a big thank you to all my people who made this Spring Break a very happy one indeed :)
