We had to go out of the country on some routine medical things. Everyone was completely healthy and normal :) It was a short, quick trip, but we tried to find something fun for the kids to do besides traveling all day, standing in lines, and seeing doctors. We found a little park that had a cable car that you could ride for super cheap. The kids thought it was great.
When we got to the top of the hill, we discovered this awesome playground. The kids took off running as soon as they saw it. They were soooooo happy.
They managed to all squeeze in the top of this thing.
I just love this one. You can see Regan running at the top, Katherine about to slide fast, and Lauren enjoying herself on the way down the slide.
These two loved this spinney thing. I wasn't even thinking about my motion sick prone boy getting on it. It wasn't 10 minutes later that he came to me so pale and saying he had a headache and didn't feel good. Thank goodness we had some motion sickness medicine with us! Thanks to a good friend, we are able to carry it with us on trips now. It has been a life saver!
The kids enjoyed making little gingerbread men crafts. (Benjamin went and put is buy the oven for a picture, but I like the one with him in it better.)
Creative Katherine...breaking the mold of "how it should be done" I just love her creativity. She loves being different.
Two days after we got back, Lauren got a pretty bad stomach bug/the flu. I'm not sure if she picked it up at her school or in the masses when we left the country. Either way, she had to miss a Christmas party that we were invited to with some other foreigners. She was so disappointed, but she was so happy when Daddy brought home a present for her!
Regan got these earmuffs at the party.
Lauren finally got better and was back to her old self and helping Daddy cook. Benjamin was the next down with the same thing. Not fun! At the moment, everyone seems to be better. We are just hoping that no one else comes down with it!!
These two had fun at the mall looking for a Christmas present for Daddy. We finally found something. The girls really liked this duckie with the Christmas hat.
