In February Wyatt and I went to a concert in Denver and stayed with Andi. While I was there she reminded me (again) that she wants me to come out with my kids. She’s invited me out to her place every summer for 10 years (gasp!) but I was always worried that 5 kids would overwhelm her, and our busy always seemed to get in the way.
But in February I decided I really wanted to make that happen.
But when?
Every week in June we had camps.
In July we had rodeos, Draper Days, drivers ed, and family vacation.
That left August – somewhere between 3 birthdays and back to school. I was determined to fit it in.
So, we left after church on Sunday, August 3rd, and drove the 8 hours to her place. We spent Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday adventuring with the most adventurous person I know, and on Thursday morning headed back home.
It was so fun to get to spend time with Andi – truly a breath of proverbial fresh air for me to be around someone who really only thinks of me as pre-mom-Andrea, and then show her my momness with all my darling boys. (Olivia couldn’t make it because she had her super-important girls cabin trip already planned, and Wyatt didn’t make it because of work).
