Girl's Weekend

I have a couple of friends I scrapbook with often. We usually get together once a month and spend 5 or so hours scrapbooking and accomplishing very little. So we had an idea to get away for a weekend and spread out and scrap.

Luckily there was only 3 of us and just enough room for all our stuff.Before we knew it it we found these.And we realized we were in the middle of nowhere. We some how missed our turn off and went two hours of our way. We finally made it to Lava!We enjoyed wine and snacks.Tiffany had a bit of scrap block.I was lucky to accomplished 15 pages or so.Crystal working on her pages.We defiantly made ourselves at home in our little rental house.We did take some time and enjoy the hot springs. And they were lovely.
We also had a chance to watch a couple movies without everyday life (kids) interrupting us and have a hot meal and enjoyed good company. We will be planning one of these in the future, next time it will just be called a mental health weekend.

Children's Museum

I was lucky enough to get to spend some one on one time with Jackson last week. It was fun to get him out to the Children's museum. He really enjoyed it.

First up was the maze of balls. If you know Jackson he loves balls!It was funny to watch the kids put balls in this. When you open the door it blows air, the boys looked a little like Jackson and hid from it while the girls would embrace and let the air blow.So many options to watch the balls and discover new things.Up next was the water (of course there was a ball in the water).Exploring with water.He became a police officer.And went shopping. Played on the farm, and worked on the farm.Of course he can find any toy and turn it into a gun.He learned to build.We even found a helicopter.He was even allowed to push the buttons in this helicopter.

Most of all I enjoyed watching him learn and explore.

Guess where I am going....

Costa Rica!

On....Windstar Cruises.

This cruise I won. I get to take a guest, and this time I am taking my friend Jontue. Couple reasons (other than she loves traveling as much as I do). It's cheaper to pay for airfare for one than two, and second Shane is not a beach or tropical person. So this will be fun to do a girls trip.

Pictures to come soon....
