Back Up Next

-         I am going out of my mind trying to find nice places with interest for the kids and WiFi for Steve. In the morning before we leave I actually have a little meltdown and start freaking out about Steve working and having to accommodate all of it. I feel like a slave with no power. Everything feels so impossible…the kids are probably going mad too soon.

-         I love the Campground but in the interest of giving the kids something more interesting to experience we decide to head out and go even further north. We end up at a place a few miles from the Canadian border called Lynden. Not much of a place but they do have a pool and the chickies can’t wait to go in. Even before we have checked in they start asking to put their bathing suits on.

-         And in we go while Steve stays back to work.

-         There is a mini golf area across from our Bus and it’s close enough for the kids to go off on their own.

-         I lay down on their bed with the window open so I can hear them. My watch says 7:30 PM and so I am thinking they can play on their own until bed time. I guess I am really tired b/c I fall asleep with the children’s voices drifting in and out of my exhausted daze…finally I hear Steve rounding them up outside and as I wake I check my watch and it says 7:30 PM, hm…it actually turns out to be about 9 o’clock and I am shocked obviously my watch was tired too.
