Today I am preparing for our up coming vacation to the beach. I am so excited. We haven't done much as a family before and I am so ready to get into some family fun. I know the long car ride will be a bit of a task but I know we will have fun. We will be camping on an island. Yes in a tent! A bunch of people have said we are crazy in this heat and with the kids. I think they are the crazy ones. I know there will be times of frustration but what day doesn't have those? I know my kids will treasure the memories we create on our first adventure together on vacation.
I remember camping as a kid and loving it. I haven't been camping often since about 10 or 11. Its sad because those were the times we needed it the most. I hope I can keep James and the kids excited about going out and doing more things together. I know I probably wont have a problem keeping the kids into it but James might need more convincing later. As for now, hes just as excited as I am.
So in my preparations I am packing up things and cleaning the house so it will be clean when we get back. I am making lists and getting information. I am trying to get as much done as possible in advance so that it will be easier when the time comes to pack the van and head out.
We will be cooking on a fire and roasting marshmallows. We will go shelling and swimming in the ocean. We will visit a water park and play mini golf. Most importantly we will spend time together. I am excited and hope everything goes ok. I know. I know. Fat chance! But still I hope nothing major goes wrong! =D
