More Vacation

So mom thinks this is child abuse, but Jessica said if you blow in the baby's face they will hold their breath for a sec and you can dunk them under water. I just don't want Tato to be afraid of water/drowning like I am. I want her to be comfortable in it. So we tried it, and since it didn't seem to bother her that much, we did it again and taped it. She is gonna be a great swimmer!

Vacation!

We just got back from an awesome vacation to visit my sister in Texas. It was so much fun and we definitely needed the vacation. The only bad part was the drive. It took us about 23 hours to get there and we decided to do it all in one day so we didn't have to waste vacation days driving. We got there Friday night and had to leave the next Saturday morning so we had a whole week of fun in the sun!


Monday or Tuesday (now I can't remember which day) Jessica took us to a delicious BBQ place called Spring Creek. They had the best rolls! Really they were like little piping hot loafs of bread but they we're unlimited so I just kept eating and eating. It was a really good place.

Most of the pictures we took are of swimming. I didn't really think to take my camera out at any other time. We went swimming a couple of times and even though Tato looks horrified in this picture, she absolutely loved swimming. Every minute of it. For awhile there she had a perma-grin. Guess we'll have to take her swimming more often.

This is what Terry looked like most of the time. He was usually dragging a few kids around the pool.


She liked this little dolphin thing that Jessica had, but after awhile she got way too relaxed in it and started to doze off so we took her out of it.




Perma-grin.In addition to swimming Jessica helped me make a quilt. Ok really I helped her make a quilt. She did 98 percent of the work. But I did pick out alot of the fabric and I sewed some squares together. I also ironed alot.
Here's the finished product. Cool huh! Thanks Jess for helping me make a quilt. We also made cards and did all sorts of crafty things. I had a lot of fun.


Well since we did so many girly things like quilting and making cards (we also rented "He's Just not That Into You" which is a chick flick), I agreed to take Terry to go see the new Terminator movie while Jessica babysat for us. We found an AMC so that we did not have to go to a Cinemark. The movie was decent. Pretty much what you would expect from a futuristic robot movie I guess. I've never seen any of the previous ones though so I don't know. Terry liked it ok. He still likes the other ones better though.We had a gift card from Applebee's that I got for my Birthday from Tricia so we went there after the movie.
We did other things like play games with the kids, watched movies, visited and stayed up way too late most nights. It was a very relaxing time. We definitely needed this vacation and we had a ton of fun. Tato did too. I think she's gonna miss playing with all her cousins.
