Back to School Extravaganza

One of Our Traditions 
has become to Spend a Weekend Having Fun
Before the Big Return to School.


We Check into a Hotel,
in a Near-by Shopping Area a Mile or Two from Home,
and then 
We Spend a Good Portion 
of a Friday Afternoon and Saturday
Shopping for School Clothes, Shoes, Backpacks,
Eating Out, Eating Ice Cream, Eating Bad for You Yummies,
Going to a Movie, Eating more junk, Swimming at the Hotel,
and
Staying up Late Eating More Garbage 
and Watching a Movie in Bed.

We Love this Time.
[I think the Kids Like it almost as Much as Mom and Dad Do!]

WoW! What a great memory making tradition.
I just happened upon your blog and am all about the memories. Time passes quickly and too often parents wish their children's lives away. Stay in the moment and ENJOY!!
