the start of our vacation!

our family vacation officially started on thursday!

my husband is off for a week, and we are so excited!

this year we decided to take it a little easy.

(last year we did a week in san diego...amazing...but, exhausting)

so, this year we have little activities planned throughout the week.

1.we are going to take the 3 oldest chickens to wild water adventures.

2. my husband is taking the 2 oldest boys dirt biking.

3. we are going to see winnie the pooh.

4. driving to monterey to take the chickens to

gilroy gardens, and monterey bay aquarium.
5. movie nights..(remember Willow??)
6.  a couple date nights. ;)

and,..last but, NOT least...

hint: me, no chickens, shopping, friend, and eating..

7. "back to school shopping" with my girlfriend!!

it was so nice to take a break.

i left all day..and came home to 4 happy chickens,

 a tired husband,
(working in people's mouths all day is EASIER than watching kids,.. at least that's what i think!!)
 and a messy house!

(who cares....i was just pumped to be GONE)
