No Plan

If we have learned anything the last couple of weeks it would be life does not go according to plan.  This is very evident from the events that occurred during our attempt to adopt.  We also relearned this life lesson when we planned a lake getaway over the weekend.

We had a lot of fun, although it was not what we planned.  We rented a little cabin on the lake and a pontoon boat to teach the boys how to fish.  The cabin was a little more "rustic" than we intended.  We have no problems camping and sleeping outdoors but not with a two year old or in the heat of August. Therefore, we rented the cabin to enjoy the comforts of home while still enjoying the outdoors.

Unfortunately, we could not sleep due to all the "wildlife" sleeping with us in our cabin.  There were lots of creepy crawlies in the cabin.  Our two year old sleeps wonderfully at a home, not in a portable crib.  The boat, although fun was being held together with duct tape.  The lake was a huge pond of algae and the fish were elusive. These factors along with a few others ended our weekend getaway early.

We adjusted the plan, came home a day early took the boys to the aquarium and went to the RV and boat show.  The boys still had a blast, saw some fish and cool boats (without duct tape), played in the campers, ate popcorn and walked away with a swords made from balloons.

We had a family weekend together enjoying each other's company.  So going forward with adoption, the plan is we have no plan.  It is out of our control so we will just enjoy the ride.  If our family is to be a family of five it will be, if not we will continue to enjoy our family of four.
