It has begun...

Corey is officially on vacation for the next 11 days. Woo Hoo! Tomorrow he gets to hang out with us as we go to the park to meet up with some friends and then to the library...the normal routine for me and the kids on Tuesdays. Then on Wednesday we will pick up our CSA share (share it among family & friends since we will be heading out of town), taking Bella & her stuff to my mom's house, picking up the rental car, taking the kids to their bowling league, packing & such. ACK!

Right now we are all just veggin' out. Corey is enjoying some sports bonding time with Morgan... they are watching the Home Run Derby. :-)

Early Thursday morning we are heading out for Orlando. Arriving the first day of the family get together will be the 4 of us, my dad & stepmother, and my half-sister & her 2 kids. I know on Friday my oldest stepbrother, his wife & 2 girls will be joining us...bringing us up to 13 people. At some point another stepbrother, his wife (and maybe son) will be joining us, possibly my uncle (my dad's younger brother) and maybe my half-brother. My dad was saying we might be up to 18 for the weekend. Woo! This is going to be fun! Here is the house that my dad rented for all of us http://www.tinkerbellslantern.com . Pool and spa...here I come!

Corey, Alex and I will be leaving on Tuesday to head home. Morgan is staying and will be going on an adventure with my dad, stepmother and her 11yo cousin. They are all taking a driving trip out to CA and back over 2 1/2 weeks. Morgan is *so* excited! She'll be keeping a journal and taking pictures to share.
