Life at the Condo

We all liked being able to stay at the condo while in Dillon. So much nicer than being crammed in a hotel room! We don't all have to sleep in the same room, we don't have to eat out every meal, we can keep up with laundry, etc. (A BIG thank you to Grandpa & Grandma for letting us stay there!)

The first couple of nights, we had all 4 kids in the bedroom (McKay & Hannah on the beds, Courtney on the air mattress and Hayley in her playpen, which she learned how to climb out of during our vacation!)

Then McKay wanted to sleep out on the sofa bed, so we put Courtney in the twin bed and let McKay have the sofa (he especially liked being able to wake up and turn on the TV!).

Other activities at the condo included a fair amount of TV watching. Our kids don't usually have to watch "live TV" since we have a ton of recorded children's shows. So McKay usually ended up in charge of the remote and watching either Discovery Channel, History Channel, or Animal Planet. (You know the kids are spoiled when they don't understand why you can't just "pause" regular TV!)

There was also lots of coloring...

Brian spent a good deal of the week reading the new book we picked up Saturday morning...

(As a side note, McKay seemed to get quite irritated by the fact that Dad was always reading his book. Brian would take it along to the park, etc. and read while the kids were playing. At one point, McKay even took the book and threatened to throw it away! Of course Dad didn't spend the entire vacation reading -- he played with the kids too. And Mom got to read the book on the drive home.)

We bought some fresh corn for one dinner and the kids had fun husking and eating it.

McKay got one of the electronic 20Q games (20 Questions) that he liked to try to stump:

And Hayley got some fun shoulder rides from big brother!
