I can't believe our "Litchfield Vacation" has come and gone once again! We had a fabulous time - but I think the kids had more fun than we did (since they didn't have to cook, wash dishes, do laundry, pack the beach stuff, etc, etc, etc.). Taking 7 kids to the beach (or anywhere else) is a lot of work! Now, we need a vacation from our vacation! :)
We spent lots of time at the beach this year - I think we only swam in the pool once or twice. Kylie finally got "into" the beach and the waves. She was a little too brave for my comfort level - mommy isn't a huge fan of swimming in the ocean.
Here's the whole gang. Yes, I brought my tripod. No, I didn't bring the "beast" - only my point & shoot camera.
Kylie and Ainslee got to sleep together in a BIG bed (made by pushing together the two twin beds). It was a treat for them, and we only had to separate them once. Kylie didn't use her pull up all week - with only 2 accidents.... (more laundry). I can't even count how many times she has told us she LOVES Ainslee since we got home. She even asked us to "ask the builder" to make a bed for Ainslee in her room. :) She also requested that we "ask the builder" to build us a bigger house with a bigger yard - so that we can have a pool. Ha!
The kids had lots of fun playing together - and Jake joined in the dress-up fun when Sophie decided he needed a fashionable head band!
On Thursday we had our Chef, Tom Mulally, make us dinner at the house. It was AMAZING! He sets everything up, cooks, cleans, and serves the delectable food! Scallops with Risotto, Jumbo Lump Crab on a crostini, Filet & Sea Bass.... my mouth is watering just thinking about it! The kids were in bed and we enjoyed great food, champagne and lots of laughs. We all showered for the occasion too....
