I love having this place to go where time doesn't matter! We don't have to BE anywhere and don't have to answer the phone and can eat whenever and just be together.
On this trip we decided we wanted to work on the kids math skills, so we decided to teach them this fun game called "21" (You may know it as BlackJack!!) We really had so much fun playing. Steve was the dealer. I think he was from China/Mexico. He would do the funniest accent and we would just laugh. This was him, "You play or no?" When we'd lose "Oh, you not should hit, too bad, give me money" ..... 
It snowed while we were there, great opportunity for the fire while watching movies!!
Of course, PUZZLE TIME!!! Linden and Steve finished one puzzle, then Linden wanted to start another the next day. She worked for a couple of hours on it and then got bored. Of course once Steve starts something he has to finish it (a trait I love about him, but it can be a bit annoying) so I got everything cleaned and packed and he finally put the final puzzle piece in around 5:00 pm!! Right in time to hit the road....
I just love my kids and hope I can be a good mom to them. Sometimes I get very down on myself for not being a good enough mom, but then when they walk up to you and give the random, "I love you mom", it makes it all worth it!!

I know exactly what you mean our place to go out here is the beach. I am so jealous that it snowed we miss it.
very very very very sweet. : )
Man... we actually have to bring up something to do next time. We usually do the outdoor thing the whole time but since it is getting cold, we need to bring activities... like poker for the kids!!!! Just kidding
Glad you had fun...
You are such a great mom! You really are so fun and loving and you are always there for them! I love that about you!
You and Steve are such a fun couple. I love that you played 21 with them. They better be some math wizards!
How fun! It looks like you guys had a great weekend. I miss seeing you at the gym.
