Guess who finally got to go on vacation!?!?! The Healds! Monday morning I woke up not looking forward to another week of illness because Matney was still up every night sick. While getting us ready to go back to her dr we got a call from some great friends. They had a condo on the beach in Panama City for the week and were not going to be using it...so, if we wanted to we could pack our bags and it was ours! You know what I decided? If the choices are be stuck at home sick or stuck on a beach sick, pick the beach! I called Jared at work and amazingly enough he was able to clear enough of his calendar to leave the office with no notice (that never happens). So, without thinking about it we ran to Walmart, packed our bags and hit the road early Tuesday morning. Oh my goodness, we are beyond tired but we had the best week!
We'd talked about taking the girls to the beach this summer and decided to wait until next year. Halle Kate does NOT travel well, the girls don't sleep well out of their own beds which makes for LONG days and nights, etc. However, when a free week on a beautiful beach lands in your lap (especially when we had been wanted to get out of town so badly) YOU PACK QUICK! Not having time to stress about packing, sleep arrangements, etc made things easy...and we may have gotten HK her own DVD player so that she could watch "Bar-Bar" (Barney) and hopefully not scream the entire ride.
I have tons of fabulous pictures to upload but I am exhausted. It has been a long time since our girls were both asleep before 8pm but tonight they crashed. So, if you called or emailed us this week and haven't heard back we'll get caught up soon. Right now we are headed to bed and dreaming of the water!
