The children's boring "its not fair" left behind vacation

When Jim and I went away on a cruise and cruelly left our children behind with their Grandparents, we knew that they would be fine but....
We didn't anticipate...
-they would wear out before their Grandparents...


-they would come home requiring a plush transport system... (sorry kids, see last post)

-they would log more hours in the pool than their cruise-bound parents...(seriously Alaska???)

-that they would drive their Grandparents to this!!!...

Really, I know the kids had a great time and their Grandparents really did wear them out and were still going. I need their energy!! The kids enjoyed swimming, providing FHE for a retirement home, chuck e cheese, Bryce Canyon, a rodeo, hiking by moonlight, eating very well!!! and so much more I am sure will only come out in years to come as things they didn't really want to let the parents know about. Thank you so much Carol and Jim for making it possible to run away for a week and feel very comfortable about leaving 5 kids at home.

I want to thank Carol and Jim also. We sure enjoyed having the parents of those 5 wonderful kids go with us on our anniversary trip.

Looks like fun. Can I have the key to the jail. I have some kids I want to put in there!
