This past weekend my parents were scheduled to watch Jude and Jasper for Blakeley and Hunter to do something one night. I realized about 2 weeks ago that Bryce had a holiday on President's Day Monday....hmm....how to make it work that we could see Cappy and Papaw Ruff that weekend?? The lakehouse!! My parents picked up the J's from Huntsville on Friday, I checked Bryce out of school at 12:45 and we all drove and met up at the lake. It was so fun getting to surprise Bryce and CeCe with this trip! They've been missing all 4 grandparents since we've seen them last and it's going to be about 3 more weeks until we see Cappy and Papaw Ruff (Kiki and Papaw Duke are coming this Thursday!!) I told them right before school on Friday and then CeCe and I raced home to pack and get ready for the 6.5 hour drive. Thankfully my kids are ROCK STARS in the car and never complained!
We thought the whole weekend would end up being wet and nasty, but luckily we had about 4 hours of dryness on Saturday. We stayed out in the mud that whole time knowing the rain was coming.
That afternoon my Aunt, Uncle, cousin and her two kids came up to the lake to eat supper and celebrate my dad's birthday
Unfortunately the rain set in Saturday around lunchtime and didn't stop until after lunch on Sunday. That made for lots of inside time for this group. Here are Bryce and Jude snuggling with Cappy watching Tom and Jerry one night.
Sunday morning we decided to drive into Montgomery and try bowling. The kids loved it!! They also had an arcade that was perfect for the kids to run around in.
Little J-man was the winner! He scored at least 25 points higher than everyone else!
All four loved bowling and have already asked to go back next time we are at the lake. We all left yesterday morning and we drove the 6.5hrs back home, again the kids were great! They were both coughing in the car but slept good last night. I thought we were over the worst of it but this is how Bryce and I spent our morning :( He gets in the horrible coughing fits where he gags and gags but luckily the breathing treatment worked today pretty quickly. I did take him to the Dr. and he said what I expected....a virus, and just to keep doing the albuterol. He's doing so much better this afternoon I'm hopeful he can go back to school tomorrow. I did find out that everytime he misses school for illness (and this happens to him everytime he gets a little cold) that I will have to take him in to the Dr. to get an excuse note. Not cool! I usually know when something is just a virus and I hate to have to take them into the dr. office for that. Oh well, at least I know now. And I LOVED the new pediatrician we chose!! I'm glad I decided to make the switch from that first practice we tried here.
