We attended the UWWG again this year. I know this is a little late, but I’ve struck with a bit of the post conference blues, and the post conference sicknesses have struck every member of my family in one way or another. Next time, everyone is getting juiced up on Emergen-C before we go. This ALL being sick thing, is completely ridiculous. Those community toys rooms are a breeding ground! I cringe when I look at the kids all sharing the masks! Ewwww! Poor Milo has it the worst. He has every symptom I can think of. One right after another. Once one thing went away, another would come. He has been sleeping so much. Two naps a day and at night., other then waking up to empty out! When this kid is down… he is DOWN.
We got the Kalahari the night prior to the gathering which really is the best idea after our 12 hour drive. We were able to relax gather our thoughts before having to really start socializing. Not that it’s a chore, but it feels like it after a 12 hour drive! I’m not going to write too terribly much. I’m just stealing enough time to some pictures!
These are two of my favorites. These are the types of pictures I look at after they’ve been fighting, and I’m having trouble remembering how much they really do love each other.
Phoenix fell right asleep after his swim with Gramma Chrissy and his relaxing ride in the swing.
Skylar body boarding. We so need one of these in the backyard!
TJ peering through the thick foliage of his dinner.
Skylar facilitated a funshop this year. He was very successful, aside from not having enough to eat, and we plan on modifying it for the conference. His funshop was all about little stunts and tricks that can be done with very little materials. Straw farting was a HUGE hit, especially with a few parents. Remember the stuntology book?
Here we are showing the group how to hook 2 paperclips together using a strip of paper. Evan is tirelessly blowing up balloons for our skewer through the balloon trick. His face isn’t even red yet!
We really hate leaving our friends. I even got to sneak away a couple times and hang out with girls! No joke! It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to hang out with other mom’s. Especially other moms who think like me! That really is an amazing feeling. I’d love to feel that connected all the time.
Wanna feel connected? Have I mentioned Georgia lately???? LOL
I know what you mean. Having the Traaseths around the corner has made a huge difference in our lives. We may go weeks without seeing them, but we know they’re there.
How fun!
I would love to hang out with people who actually get me
The pictures are GREAT and I am so glad you went and had a good time! I’m a bit jealous, but look forward to doing the same thing someday! I agree, talking to other moms must be amazing!
