Vacation Over

I think I might have to administer a rather snug wedgie to any child (or adult) who dared utter the words "I'm bored" when staying at Grandview Lodge.

I was there for only two days, and there was more stuff to do than I could tackle in a week. Activites are planned for all ages from before breakfast until bedtime. I needed a nap after reading the weekly schedule of events. Good Lord. I think this place must employ about a third of all local residents. The only break in the action was an unscheduled pool closing when the attendents spotted the dreaded "pool stool." (And yes, I was IN the pool when they asked everyone to evacuate. Sorry. Hope you've already had breakfast.) Eight hours and an enormous chemical cocktail later...all systems were go.

Nana and Buppa invited the Uber-Babysitter to come along, so The Governor and The Senator had their personal Director of Fun. (Or, as I liked to think of her: Commissioner of Parental Free Time)

The only snag in the whole trip was discovering that my rear tire was slowly going flat. However, Nisswa Automotive was able to make the repair early Wednesday morning. I cut ten minutes off the drive time on the way home. Amazing the difference a fully inflated tire can make.

Did all you men just collectively groan? That's so cute.

sure the pool stool wasn't a Baby Ruth bar?

Is 'things floating in pools' a normal end of summer topic? This has been gone over (and then some) here: http://www.littletinylies.com/archives/002537.html Definitely not a subject for those of a delicate constitution.

(Warning: some of the language, especially in the comments, may not be considered 'family friendly'.)

No Caddy Shack moments, I'm afraid. We had the real thing.

Aelfheld - I saw that post but didn't get to read the comments. I was going to leave one myself as we had The Governor swaddled in one of those under his regular swimsuit. Can never have enough protection!

Cathy, wouldn't a Hefty™ bag work? Just cinch the drawstring up around his neck. ;-)
