Vacation! I was so pumped for our family camping trip to Echo lake with my in laws! I had packed the trailer and was so ready for some "relaxing time". Don't get me wrong we had an amazing time and everyone was so helpful and Matt and I even got a date night! Thanks Mike and Cheryl 😘
What I did not factor in to my "relaxing time" was that I was bringing my rambunctious 2 year old! Who was up at the crack of dawn and ready to go outside and play every single morning. That he would miss his naps and try my patience on the daily. The boys (minus Lane) decided to be "nice" and go golfing so Cheryl and I and Lane could go enjoy shopping....... In theory that sounded pretty great! BUT I did not bring a stroller and there are no carts at the mall soooo I literally spent the whole time chasing Lane getting upset with him for not behaving and being super stressed and flustered. Thank goodness Grandma was there to help me or I probably would have had a complete melt down. Looking back at this experience I'm mad at myself for being so upset with him and losing my cool. HES 2! He's not going to always do what mommy says intact most days he does the exact opposite 🙈. What I realized when I got home and thought back on the trip was that I am done with the relaxing vacations for a Long time, and that's ok! Because I love that boy more than life itself and I love being mom! We made so many great memories this year Lane went on his first tube ride and absolutely loved it! We swam lots went on sea-do and enjoyed spending time with family!
Vacations now are all about family friendly activities and non stop running around and playing with our boy! Now that I've wrapped my head around that and gotten over my mommy delusional-ness I plan to embrace it and enjoy every minute of it. And next year instead of shopping while the men golf we will plan them on opposite days so Matt can enjoy golf guilt free 😜 And I can enjoy shopping without pulling my hair out!! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend xo
