Getting ready for Grandma's

When Christopher was five Grandma Santos started a tradition (sorry grandma it is a tradition now) for him to go to her house for a week over the summer. It then moved on that each child would be able go when they turned five. After a few years a week turned into two and even three at times. This year is Hunter's first time so he will be there one week and the others will be going for 16 days! So they leave tomorrow and Hunter will follow in a week. The kids are SO excited. They are trying to pack as if they are going forever. Today I have to deal with the giddy, excited kids but tomorrow I have three less so I guess that is a trade off! Steve's entire side of the family live there including Great Grandma, great Aunt, uncles, Grandpa and cousins too. I am ever so thankful to Grandma Santos for both providing them with this great opportunity to spend time with their family as well as giving me a bit of a break. I miss them so much every time they go! Well I am off to go check all the bags to find what crazy items they have tried to slip in there!
