Dunson Adventures

Well we are back from our wonderful summer vacation. One big thing that is different is that my niece, Aviana is back home with her mom( Steph ) so my family is back to 5 with a part time Uncle David! I really loved all of the quality family time. In South Carolina we stayed at the Breakers! The kids loved the lazy river and kids crafts. My favorite part was the view! So I would say our highlights were Medieval Times Dinner show, Nascar Speed Park, and of coarse the beach! Now that the dust has settled from the trip I've decided that I want to be able to have more family vacations like that. It was a lot of fun but can be on the expensive side. I have been looking at ways to cut costs and be a little greener. The worm farm is doing good as well as my topsy turvies . The aero garden lettuce died. I forgot to change the water level before we left so it was all dried out. (On a side note I've been working all week on how to put pictures on the blog.) Alexis has had a bad ra

We went to Williamsburg and were excited! We stayed at the Patrick Henry Square a Blue Green Resort. We really enjoyed our room. We stayed in a 1 br W/den. It had a little mini kitchen and two fold out couches. It comfortably accommodated out family of 2 adults and 4 children. (my niece was with us) It was a good thing that we liked our room because that was where we spent most of our time. We tried spending the day at Colonial Williamsburg . I had done research online and asked around and was told it wasn't the most toddler friendly place. My husband really wanted us to go, so we did. We came home feeling bummed. And spent the rest of the time in our room. We were going to go to the pool but...I felt like it was motel quality and didn't want to get in it. It was also at another building so walking across the parking lot with wet tired kids wasn't my idea of fun. I know I'm a party pooper :) We ended up leaving early. If I had to do it all over again I would

Rain, rain, and more rain! The kids are going crazy inside the house.Next week will be the officical start of our family's summer! We are heading to Williamsburg, Myrtle Beach, and last but not least camping(in a cabin for father's day!) I can't wait! All the worms are alive. Thankfully our most high maitenance pets are our fish and we can just put in some fish feeders. We bought 3 topsy turvies and they seem to be doing well. I'm not liking the strawberry one because the birds think that it's for them. We are also growing some lettuce inside with the aero garden. It's fun! Mike said it's the most expensive salad we have ever eaten. I'm sure over time it will pay for itself. Maybe ;) We are in the process of having our backyard cleared. The rain just won't stop! Our backyard looks like a huge mud puddle. Olivia wants to plant more seeds! She is too cute. We've been planting on the game farmtown on face book because the weather is so nasty. All I
