Christmas Vacation ~ Day 4

On Christmas Day, we gave each of the kids three strips of paper with the instructions to

write down one movie they wanted to watch as a family, one restaurant they wanted to eat

at as a family and one activity they wanted to do all together. When all eighteen strips were
filled out, we hung them on the wall and worked hard (or rather played hard) all week
to make them happen. It was one of our favorite weeks of the year, hands down.

 

Day four was a busy one. We had breakfast at a local diner in our town, went to Moana not long
after, headed straight to a bounce house called Kangaroo Zoo and finished with dinner at Olive
Garden. Because we were fitting all eighteen ideas of fun into five days, we had to double up on
several days to fit everything in. It was super exciting. And crazy exhausting. In a good way.

 

 These kids have a fun dad.

 This handsome boy has a great smile.

 So does this one. Which he decided he didn't want to show. Seriously, my children.

 Sweet Annie spent a lot of time with Grace.

 While another of my children gave me just the look I was going for. Honestly.

 Ask our kids sometime why this bounce toy is now referred to as "The Stephen."
I'm shaking my head if you can't see me.

 This darling boy knows how to smile. As does his photobombing sister apparently.

 A good part of this activity was spent playing tag among six kids I know.

 And the best picture I could get of Grace. She just wanted to climb this super tall slide over and over again.
