First vaca of the summer
Those crazy Lunn kids
I have a few weeks off this summer from babysitting, and boy did I anjoy the first. We were only going to the campground for the weekend, but stayed 12 days.
The kids were so great. Between us, we have 18 kids (8 families), that we all hang out together. All the kids get along so well. Even Jacob played with Tracey's boys for most of the weekend. He has such a hard time making friends. I was so excited when he was playing with them. Michael has such a huge personality and can talk to a wall, but Jacob kind of backs off a bit more.
Hilary is like Mike. She makes friends where ever she goes. Everytime she went to the playground, she made friends. We really have to watch her, she's much too friendly.
We lost Hilary on Saturday. The campground was overbooked and very busy, I was so scared. All the kids went down to the rec hall for a balloon toss. My boys, Tracey's boys and Mason came back, without Hil. I went down to get her as soon as they got back and she wasn't there. I looked around the playground and canteen for her and still no Hilary. I went up to the trailer and got everyone to help. We were all out looking for her, some on bikes, some in cars and some walking. I really panicked when people were looking for her around the pond. That's when I broke down and started to cry.
Turns out she was at Shawn and Sandra's with Allison. She went there after the balloon toss and was having a tea party. Hilary told the boys, but they didn't hear her. I grabbed onto her and started to sob when we finally got to her. I never want that feeling again, and do not wish it on anyone.
Saturday night Hilary stayed at Allison's for a sleepover, but didn't make it through the night. They called our cell at 230am saying she was crying. Steve went up to get her.
Zachary had a horrible week sleeping wise. He was up almost everynight. Usually the first night he wakes up, not knowing where he is, and then sleeps through the night the rest of the time. Not this week. I have alot of sleep to catch up on. Friday night he woke up at 1030 and we (Zach and I) were up until the sun woke up. It was horrible. He cried and cried.
The pool is finally open, each day we walked up about 4-5 times. We spent alot of the week there. Jacob goes in the deep end with water wings on now, and Hilary touches in the shallow end, so she is happy this year, and is finally putting her head under. Zach stays in the kiddy pool, but will go over and play a game with the older kids. He throws his Naked Mole Rat into the pool and the older kids see who can get it first. He laughs and laughs, it is funny.
It only rained Thursday night and some of Friday. Even then the kids were good. We had playstation in the shed, x-box at Tracey's, tv at Mel's and movies at our trailer. So the kids had something to do all day.
We sold our old windstar today.........finally. 400 bucks. It wasn't running ,the motor was gone, and I hated it but it was still sad to see it go.
Well, I have the boys I babysit this week Monday to Thursday and then I am off again. THANK GOD it's been a long day already at 12:00.
We have a baseball tournament this weekend and then we are going to the trailer for the week. The week after Mike has goalie camp, and I have the boys again that week.
Rosie's cruise is coming to Halifax tomorrow. I wish I could get in to try to catch a peek, but I hate crowds, I hyperventilate, and I have 6 kids tomorrow. Ain't gonna happen, I hope it is nice here for then, it is raining and thunder today.
I'll get some pictures posted.
