For Willie and my ten year anniversary my Mom watched the kids for the weekend and we went camping and fishing. It was so much fun and so relaxing. We loved the alone time for 3 days.
When we got home we set up the tent and let the kids spend the night in it on our front lawn. Something would never even considered it in Arizona. They had so much fun. Taylor we wound up having to bring back inside because she just could not settle down and kept messing with the other kids.
The kids loved watching Mom play her games. They loved having her here in general. They really didn't want her to leave. She took John boy to see the new Transformers movie. He loved that.
