How We’ll Spend Our Summer Vacation….

Will and I are busting out of dodge today!  His daycare closes for two weeks every year and these are them.  I was going to try and find childcare for him and then I thought – screw it!  I want two weeks off with my boy.  So we’re loading up the car and heading off.

We are ridiculously fortunate to have a farm to go to.  My dad and step-mom own it…for another month and then it’s gone so I’m looking forward to packing some memories in there before the new owners take over.

What’s on tap for us over the next couple weeks??

This weekend my friends are coming up for a farewell to the farm.  Over the ten or so years that we’ve had it, times have changed.  We had parties up there that have become legend.  There was skinny dipping, disco parties, many frozen bevvies and some shenanigans in the corn fields.  This weekend – there’s about 6 of us and 3 kids and the bedtime will be closer to midnight than the multiple times we saw the sunrise, dancing on the bar in the cabana to Gin and Juice!!

Next week, it’s Will and Mommy time at the farm.  Just us until Thursday when some family are coming up for Birthday Party #1 for my dude who is turning TWO!  A tractor cake has been promised.  And no, don’t kid yourself, I’m not making it!

Friday we head to Guelph and to the Hillside Festival!  Last year we made it our first camping excursion together.  It was amazing until some beyotch accused me of being a child abuser for having Will too close to a speaker.  I asked her if she had kids.  Her response was no.  I let her know that a one-year old wasn’t likely to hang out and quietly put up with his displeasure of the noise to please his mother.  She wouldn’t let up and I eventually left in tears.  So Will will be spending the Saturday with my cousins at their pool and I’ll bring him over on Sunday to enjoy Zeus, Alex Cuba and the rest of the lineup.

Once he’s full, danced out and exhausted, I’ll load him in the car and drive back to the farm.  A bunch of friends and babies are heading up for a few days until we turn around and head back to the city for offical Birthday Party #2 for the boy.

Then we load up the car AGAIN and head to Ottawa with my sister and nephew for a family wedding.

Holy CRAP!  I’m exhausted.  I already need a vacation from the vacation!   

I’m really looking forward to the time…and we will be in full on POTTY mode.  The boy got a sticker at school yesterday for pooping in the potty.  To me the reward is you don’t have to sit around in your own crap until someone notices…I’m just saying.

I’ll still be blogging – but no internet at the farm, so it’ll be sporadic!  Have a great few weeks guys!!!
