Chris's aunt offered her condo for us to use (she lives on the coast about 45 minutes from Santa Barbara) for a few days. We asked our friends, Jeremy and Ana, if they wanted to join us. We relaxed, ate REALLY good, golfed (guys), got a pedicure (girls), and had GREAT conversation (which if you know me, you know I LOVE that). It was such a nice little break from parent-duty.
The kids stayed with my parents and did great. It was nice not having to worry about them and know they were having fun back at home. But it was also nice to get back to them as I missed them while we were gone.
So today we are back to our normal life again. Chris took Cam to breakfast and to Mcdonald's to play this morning. I took Kendall on a walk, for which she screamed most of the way. This was due to the horrible parenting I practiced in forcing her to wear her mittens (because it was beyond freezing!!). :) This afternoon we decided on a Target visit as it is just too dang cold for a park. When we return, it will be movie extravaganza time with "Space Chimps" (not sure about this one, but we'll give it a go).
p.s. We are quite proud of Cam as he has finally mastered the McDonald's play area slide. In his defense, that thing is dark, long, and a little scary. He is very happy with himself for, "not being scared anymore". :)

...or as he said to us when we asked him,"Did you go down that slide?": "Yes, it's just right for me. It's not scary anymore." :)
So glad you had some kid-free time - that is so necessary! And, totally understand Cam's slide predicament as Ava is still completely scared of the McDonald's slide - Cam needs to teach her how to be brave. Way to go Cam!
How wonderful that you could get away together!!! Matt and I are doing that next week :)
Ethan has never gone down that slide... it IS scary!
