Vacation

We got home today from what has become a semi annual vacation to Clewiston.  My parents were donating a work van to the radio station, so they drove it down and met us there.  When I was a kid, vacations were never relaxing, which isn't to say they weren't fun!  We just did a lot.  But there is not "a lot" to do in Clewiston, so we got some big time relaxing on this trip.

We finally had Caleb's "official" birthday celebration!

This is the cake he decided on - for a while he wanted a train cake that somehow involved a mountain, then a shark cake, then a frog cake that somehow included tadpoles.  He liked it.  That's what's most important about a birthday cake, right!?

He finally got to open his gifts.  This kid has patience!

We got to swim a lot.

We got to sleep a lot.

We got to fish a lot.

We also scoured Goodwill and went to Wal-mart about 10 times.  And I got a special souvenir just for me.

Actually I got two of them - sutures.

I banged my head against a hanging wine glass in the kitchen and the stem snapped and somehow cut my knuckle.  I don't think it would have been a stitches worthy cut on a flat part of the body, but your thumb knuckle is a busy place, so I'm having to stabilize it keep the sutures in for 7-10 days.  Rob knew a local doctor and she sewed it up for me this morning. 

And even with my souvenir, we all had a great week!
