Camp Lakeside / Odpoczynek

May 2, 2010

Camp Lakeside

 

The local YMCA offers free camping weekends for military families.  There are several weekends in the spring to choose from.  Not only is the camping free in air conditioned cabins, but also, all the food is provided for free as well as activities. 

 

So, last weekend was out time to go on a mini vacation.  Just as we got everyone packed and in the car, I thought that maybe Josh could take all the kids, including the baby, and I could just stay home in peace and quiet.  Alone.  He agreed.  I couldn't ask for a better husband.

 

They had a blast camping, swimming, kayaking, doing archery, paddle boating, canoeing, playing kickball, and playing lots of board games in the rec room. 

 

I had a blast home alone.  No noise, not even radio or music or computer, or phone.  Just peace and quiet.   It rejuvenated me like nothing else.  A mother needs that every once in a while…

Odpoczynek

 

Tutaj w okolicy organizacja YMCA kazdego roku organizuje darmowy kamping dla rodzin zolniezy.   Bardzo jest to fajne bo nie trzeba przynosic ani jedzenia ani namiotu.  Rodziny spia w kabinach z klimatyzacja, jedza na stolowce za darmo.

 

W ostatni piatek przygotowalam nasza rodzine na te krotkie wakacje.  Wszycy juz byli w samochodzie, i wtedy ja mialam pomysl ze moze tylko Josh ze wszytkimi dziecmi pojedzie, a ja zostane sama w domu.  Josh sie zgodzil zabral wszytkie dzieci ze soba, nawet malutkiego Mosiah.   Josh jest doskonalym mezem.

 

Dobrze sie bawili plywajac w jeziorze, w lodkach i kajakach.  Tez bardzo lubily grac w pilke, strzelac lukami, i grac z innymi dziecmi w gry.

 

Ja zato bylam bardzo szczesliwa w domu.  Bylo to zupelnie cicho.  Nie chcialam nawet miec radia, lub zadnejm muzyki, ani komputera, ani telefonu.  Spokoj i cisza dal mi prawdziwy odpoczynek.  Matka ktora ma 5 dzieci tego od czasu do czasu potrzebuje…

It looks like a lot of fun. I can't believe that I never knew about it. I love the picture of Mosiah in the sand. Really cute.

Oh and lucky you...didn't you get bored?

What a great idea (and great husband)! I love my boys, but enjoying quiet alone time at home sounds absolutely delicious.

I am so happy for you! (And a little jealous.) I need to find a place where my hubby and kids can play, be fed, and have beds provided, too. Otherwise, there's no chance I could pull that kind of weekend. Hmm...
