vacation: day 3.5

Monday was pretty fun for everyone. Everyone got his own breakfast which was a break for me. Then, without any nagging from me, everyone got ready and we went to the mall and downtown harrisonburg. The big kids all have their own money so I only had to fend off the insane spending craze from dan and myself. At the end of the day we ended up with lots of new flipflops and some new clothes for dan and max. We also got Play-doh because the clay for Cranium somehow dried up in the 2 years since we last played.

We had a nice lunch at a buffett filled with townies and then came on back. The kids hung out here except for Kendall. She's got go-genes so she walked to the club house and went to the game room and little store. (she actually made 4 trips because we kept thinking of things we needed).

I made some homemade guacamole for our chips and we had burgers on the grill, potatoes, and freshly sliced pineapple for dinner. After that we played a game of Cranium, watched 24 and TMZ and went to bed. For the first night the babies slept in their own beds so Dan and I got more sleep than we have for the whole vacation....aaahh.

Today it's raining but we have some indoor activities planned. I think the kids want to go to the movies and tonight Dan and I get "date night". We're leaving the babies with the teens and going to a murder mystery dinner theater. I'm not anticipating much, so maybe it'll be pleasantly surprising.

I need to start writing down the funny things that go on here because I forget by the next day. Here's one though.

Jake: when the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace
Trevor: that's fantastic, ghandi...now let's play runescape.
Jake: it's jimi hendrix.

(it was funnier at the time I guess)
