Because Katie D is on top of things and I'm a slacker she posted some pictures of our vacation last week. Basically it is a week for the kids to play all day, we all eat too much and for most of the grown-ups drink too much.
Most of the stories are the same; however, my kids made some of their own memories. For example, Wes was able to open the all of the doors. This shouldn't be a problem, but my not yet 2 year old didn't want to stay in bed. The first night we thought he was sleeping and there he is out of his room, had made a trip to the bathroom to grab Andrew's toothbrush and then walked down the stairs to greet us. The rest of the week he was horrible to get to sleep and we tried everything and I finally learned that holding him and singing Ohio State songs worked the best. I can't wait until he starts singing "I don't give a damn about the whole state of Michigan".
Andrew, whose blankie is literally shredding, somehow got the strings in a ball and got them stuck in his nose. Luckily after initially freaking out I was able to get him to blow it out. Really??
Finally the bribe. Before we got there I knew Wes was going to be a challenge to get to sleep and was hoping Andrew would be able to help out as they had to share a room. I bribed Andrew with any batman toy he wanted if he would go to sleep and help get Wes to sleep. Andrew was so tired that every night he passed out immediately and Wes ended up going to sleep in our room because he was so terrible. Worst bribe ever.
Here are some more photos of everyday in the middle of nowhere Maine:
Hiking
This was with Katie D's family and just Joe and Andrew. There was no chance I was taking Wes on this trip as there were way too many cliffs for him to fall over which I am 100% sure he would do.

Swimming
One good thing is my kids love the water. Andrew was in the water from the time he woke up until he went to bed
Ice Pops
Wes decided on this trip he needed to eat ice pops 24/7. Because it was vacation and I tried not to care about things one morning he had 4 ice pops by 10 am. He ate them all day long and you can see what happened when he was told he couldn't have anymore.
Adult Time
I don't have many photos of adult time which is probably a very good thing. Needless to say it pretty much started out like this every evening when the kids went to bed and sometimes it was an early bedtime and other times a not so early bedtime.
It was another great week with great friends and great memories.
