It's rare that this family has a weekend with absolutely nothing on the agenda....so, when we realized that Labor Day weekend was wide open, we decided the best thing to do was to FINALLY make a trip down to Carmi! It's amazing how much easier of a trip it is now that our kids are quite a bit older. We jam packed a lot of fun into the three day weekend.
It started when we picked them up from school on Friday and told them we were going somewhere special...to which they guessed a few different places before finally realizing we were heading down to stay at Grandpa and Grandma's house. There was a lot of cheering and excitement! The car ride was a breeze and we didn't have to stop once. When we got there, the kids were so excited to see the new bunk beds they'd sleep in and all the toys they remembered from years ago.
Over the next couple of days, we packed in plenty of quality family time. We also made a trip to the children's museum in Evansville. The kids had fun hanging out at Grandpa and Grandma's house and loved getting to see the farm where Daddy grew up working and making memories. By the end of the weekend we were all quite exhausted, but happy to have had so much fun!
