8/3/12

FINALLY, Christian was off work today and able to spend the whole day with us. YAY!

I started off the day with my weekly weigh in. I wasn’t sure how it would go with my lack of exercise, and our altered routine this week, but I was actually down 2.6lbs! Nice! That puts be at 34.2lbs to date, so close to the halfway mark, I can taste it. Yahoo!!

Once everybody was up, we again had a big family breakfast, got ready for the day, and were off and running again. Today, we were spending the day in Stillwater. We stopped at Teddy Bear Park first and the kids had a blast running around, climbing the rocks and jumping off. Wearing themselves out basically.

After some play, we walked down into downtown Stillwater and wandered around a little bit. We stopped into Leo’s Grill for some lunch, right off the lift bridge. The kids were pretty chaotic all through lunch, especially the little girls, so it was quite stressful. But, we survived, and escaped as quickly as possible.

We made our way back to the car, and drove up into the city to get some ice cream from Nelson’s. The line at Nelsons’ was HUGE, so the men and kids hung out in their van watching some TV, while we waited it out in line. This place is crazy…their KIDS cones are the size of your head, amazing. We finally got our cones and met everybody outside to eat it up. I don’t think any of us finished out cones, even with sharing, but it’s cheap, delicious, and so worth the wait. YUM, definitely glad I already weighed in for the week after that! LOL.

After our sugar coma started commencing, we made our way home. The girls fell asleep instantly, and took a nap once we got home. The rest of the kids relaxed downstairs watching TV once we got home for a while, and then as everybody was up and back at it, we picked up some Papa Murphy’s for dinner and spent some time outside again. So fun, I’m already dreading the end of our “staycation”, and we still have a few days left.
