A poor folk vacation



This week I was reminded that you don't need a lot of money for a vacation
All you need, is a family making memories

Our week was kind of split up because I volunteered to work for my boss 
while she is at Mayo with her husband who is recovering from a heart transplant


Monday we went to Wild Cat Den 



 Tuesday we went to Adventure Land


 Wednesday we went fishing at Saulsbury 



 Thursday we canoed to the Maquoketa River


And on Friday we hiked at the Maquoketa Caves


MEMORIES:

The boys begging mom to go on a roller coaster 
{3 roller coasters later she still hadn't puked}
On the way home Spencer said he needed to call Grandma and tell her about mom's achievements

Spencer telling Parker to stop stealing the fish
{Parker caught 4 fish while Spencer caught 1 and lost 1}

The boys got sand in their swimming trunks and having itchy bums
{This made the last half of our trip miserable}

Parker getting a thorn in his toe while playing on the beach
{Dad dug the splinter out in our hotel room}

Dad burnt the tops of his feet canoeing

Mom peeing in the woods 
{When ya gotta go, ya gotta go}

The slick slimy steps at the caves 
{All 4 of us fell and 2 were covered in mud}

The boys found a baby snapping turtle at Wild Cat Den
A water moccasin at Sulsbury and frogs every where we went this week




We're already looking forward to next years vacation
