Julie Squared

It was Spring Break and my guilty husband informed me that I HAD to take the kids on some sort of vacation. Mind you, he wouldn't be joining us, but he fully expected me to pack up the three kiddies BY MYSELF and head up north. I sent out a mass e-mail to my Book Club girlies to see if anyone wanted to join in on the festivities and luckily my good friend Julie Spilsbury was in! The kids thought we were kidding when we told them that we both had the same name.

The kids all played really well together and Spils was such a good sport that she kept taking the kids on rhino rides the whole time whilst I was able to read my latest book HUNGER GAMES---highly recommend it! I am still trying to forget the quad ride with Cambryn and Lauryn where we were sliding down a hill together. All three of our lives flashed before MY eyes! But we all made it through the weekend without any injuries and Waverly was an ANGEL. Although I cannot say the same for Biggest Loser or American Idol contestants---WE TORE THEM APART!

We ate like KINGS for the whole time. Homemade pizza, hotdogs, mac'n'cheese, RAMEN---the kids were in heaven.

We Made Some New Best Friends

Lydia wasn't too sure about going on rides, but I managed to take her and Wavee on a little baby one.

Laetner was so excited to have a boy to play with. In the bunk room he was so specific that he wanted to sleep on the bunk under 'the boy.' Hope Brigham did not mind his new shadow.

Cambryn was constantly taking care of Wavee for me! Made my job E-Z!

Here's the whole crew!

And here's the whole crew screaming for their life on the rhino.

After the first day my kids gave up asking me for anything and would always ask 'other' Julie. Clearly they would be OK to jump ship and move into the Spilsbury Household.

Thanks Spilsbury's!
