Houston Zoo/Anniversary Trip

This past weekend we celebrated our 12th anniversary. We brought the kids to the zoo before we left them with Aunt C. It was warm and sticky at the zoo but it was still a fun trip. After the zoo, we went back to Chrissy's and got the kids settled. Then we stopped at Central Market for food for the weekend. It was crazy there on a Friday night! We stayed in a cabin outside of Columbus for the weekend. It was very nice and quiet but I did get antsy on Saturday. We took a walk out to the gazebo and later in the day took a drive. Apparently I don't "do nothing" well. The bed in the room was uncomfortable (we call it a banana bed in our family since you roll into the other person in bed) and I was ready to see the kids so we left around 8:30 and headed back to Houston. We stopped at Cracker Barrel for breakfast which took a good bit of time and then went to Jeff's house to meet Chrissy and the kids. Coralee had a great time with Aunt C. Last night, she cried at bedtime because she wanted to sleep in bed with Aunt C. Ken gave in and they called and talked to Aunt C & Mr. Jeff. Of course, that was her same excuse for not taking a nap this afternoon. We left overtired kids and while Chrissy did a great job trying to keep them on schedule, they are super tired. Coralee gives me the most grief about nap time (and bed time for Ken) when she's super tired. It's never fun getting back to "normal" but at least we don't have a lot going on this week.
