Restful family time

We took a short trip this past weekend to East Texas.  We went for Ethan's baby dedication, Kevin and Annette asked if we would come.  We were honored to be included in their son's dedication. We are thankful to be included in their family and special occasions.   Even though we were going for just one night, it was a  relaxing time to get away.   The children love staying in a hotel room and enjoy it every chance they can stay in one.  We did not plan any other activities for the time there, other than going to church.  We enjoyed that, because we were able to see so many friends we have not seen for a while.  We just wanted to take our time and enjoy the hotel and relax.
We did not know that it was the weekend for "Canton".  We have wanted to go there several times and it just has never worked out.   I have never been there so on the way home on Sunday, Allen said lets go by Canton.  We were not going to be able to do the whole thing, but wanted to just see a little bit.  There are animals and different things there that he thought the children would like.  Well, we never did get to that part, but the children seemed to have a good time anyway.  We did buy two small Christmas gifts and a few other items.  Overall the trip was a relaxing trip and we all had a good time.


Side note:  When we go on trips, short, long, day trips, etc.  I tend to go over board and plan activities and what not to do.  Allen Sr. does as well.  Not sure why, but we do, so that is why this weekend was relaxing and enjoyable, because we did not have major plans other than Ethan's dedication and that was what was important to us.
