I am a planner...I like to know when, what, who, and for how long...So that is why our "spur of the moment trip to Duluth" was totally out of the ordinary for me!
Friday was a rainy day in Shakopee, and the plans I had for the day were put on hold due to the rain. (It is too hard to get two babes and Sean in and out of the car without them getting drenched! As one babe always has to "wait" in the stroller or cart for me to get the other two out...) So, we were just being bums at home. Then I talked to Graham at lunch, and he seemed a little down. It had been a long week of studying, and we weren't going to see him until Saturday night. Long, long week apart for us. So, I just threw an idea out to him...How about the kids and I come up for the night, and we play at the waterpark?...At first he said no, that he would study and come home Saturday...then he called me right back and said go for it! What a fun call! Within an hour, I had all of us packed up, gased up, and on 35 heading up to our old stomping ground :)
Originally, we were supposed to go to Duluth for the weekend, but with Graham's class coming to an end, he was more than ready to move back home. So we bailed on that plan and looked forward to having him here for good!
Needless to say, we had an AWESOME time! All five of us enjoyed the slides, water sprays, lazy river, and hot tub. We ordered dinner poolside and stayed out late. It was just what the doctor ordered for all of us...some fun family time together. It was only for the night, as we headed back home on Saturday morning. Graham finished his last day of school and came home late on Saturday. We enjoyed our quick trip, and we can't wait to do that again!
Wish I would've taken pictures, but our hands were very full with excited little boys :)
