The boys and I spent a week "up north" at my mom and dad's place. We have done this for the last few years, usually planning to visit some tourists attraction during that time... this year we decided to just chill out and relax. The boys (and my niece Araysa) played in the pool each day, visited with the neighbors dogs, and practiced target shooting. One of the days we went to a place called "Pirate's Cove", it has really fun mini-golf, go carts, water slide, and water bumper boats. We didn't everything-big bucks-but we had a really good time.
They boys were wonderful all week. You'd think with just two of them the conflict would be minimal, not these guys. Sean is my debater, now that I think about it Ian was that way at 10 too. Like "the waters not blue it's really aqua", or some other thing that really has no bearing in life. Ian at the all knowing age of 14, just knows he's smarter than anyone else. But this week was filled with politeness, helpfulness and caring. Makes a mom think (if only for the moment) that she might be doing something right!
