Vacation Part II - Welcome to Louisville

We arrived in Louisville around 1:30 am on Thursday morning. Ben's mom and the kids were waiting there to greet us. The kids were pretty happy that they got to stay home from school because they were out so late. We were all pretty wiped so we mostly hung out around the house. Guess we were preparing for Friday where we packed as much in as we possibly could. We started with a big pancake breakfast in the morning. Then we all went to the cemetery to visit Candi's grave (Ben's sister). Afterwards, we headed to Kart Kountry for some amusement. They rode go-karts, played video games, and a round of miniature golf. They had a great time. In the afternoon we took them to see Beverly Hills Chihuahua. The adults all agreed it wasn't as bad as we thought it would be. The kids thought it was hilarious. Friday evening the kids had a soccer game, and the day was done.

This morning we got to surprise the kids with early Christmas presents from Grandma and Grandpa Whitaker. We took them to the Super Walmart pretending that we needed to do some shopping for ourselves. When we got there we told them each that Christmas arrived early and they could spend $100. Before the words were out of our mouths those kids were literally running down the aisles to the toy department. It was really fun.

As I type this we are already back at the airport on our way to Atlanta to visit my good friend Misty for a few days. Yahoo! Pray for no more delays!
