Fall Break Recap

Tina and Kayda

Fall break is now over and Payton gets to return to tumbling, school, and swimming starting tomorrow. My cousin Tina and her daughter Morgan were in town for the first part of last week, so we had a lot of fun, going to the zoo, eating out, staying up late talking, and visiting Ikea. Unfortunately on Tuesday night Payton got sick, which she then probably gave whatever she had to Tina and Morgan, but what can you do? We stayed close to home on Thursday and Friday and I am happy to say that everyone is feeling better. Reddin and I never seemed to get anything and Kayda was just cranky for a few days, but was never really sick, so I am glad that whatever Payton had was short lived.

Now back to the fall break activities on Sunday night we eat dinner at my parents house with Tina, Morgan, and her friend Michelle and her two kids Nathan and Avery. Payton and Kayda had a great time playing on Grandpa Redger's putting green with all the kids.

On Monday I spent the day with my mom, I got a little shopping in and several errands accomplished.

On Tuesday we meet Tina, and Michelle at the Zoo and spend several hours there exploring. Thanks to Tina all the older kids got to go and feed the giraffes.

Tina, with Nathan, Avery, Payton, and Morgan they just got done feeding the giraffes.

On Tuesday night we all went to chick-Fil-A to eat dinner and then after that my brother Brian came over and Tina, Brian, Reddin and I stayed up talking tell after midnight. It was a lot of fun until Payton decided to get sick.

On Wednesday Payton was acting fine, so I took Tina and Morgan to Ikea for the first time before I took them to the airport. It was so much fun having them stay with us. they were the first overnight guests we have had at this house.

On Thursday I took my mom to the airport and then took Payton to the doctor. Of course after we left the doctors office Payton starting acting fine, she was happy again, ready to try to eat something, and even wanted to get up and dance to Hannah Montana.

Friday we stayed at home, because I did not want to get anyone else sick, so we watched movies, and talked to the neighbors from our porch.

Saturday I got up and ran early in the morning, then I went to an enrichment activity, while Reddin took the girls to a fall festival in our neighborhood, then we went to eat lunch as a family and then went to old navy, Kohl's, the mall, target, and Fry's. It was a busy days, but I got almost everything I wanted to get done accomplished, but I have not been able to find anything new I want to wear to my 10 year high school Reunion next week.

This week has gone by so fast, it was a lot of fun, but I am ready for Payton to start school again so I can try to clean up this messy house.
