A Day in the (Vacation) Life.

People always ask "what did you do?" when you get home from a vacation. After a trip like this I usually reply "Not much of anything, just hung around" Which sounds awfully boring. But here is what I mean when I use that answer. Here is what a typical (vacation) day looks like at the Jewkes home. It's anything but boring! 

Playing on Poppa's new ipad 

Taking Brigham (and any other willing members) all over the house by there finger 

Going "up" 

Lucy asked for this constantly between Noah and Brigham she got to "go up" quite a bit. I can't keep up these days now that we are back home. 

I would say Lucy spent about 70% of her waking hours in this room. Either playing the keyboard, piano, drumming with Noah, or dancing to music being played. This girl loves music! I need to set up our keyboard as the new babysitter. (Also staying in our pj's all day is another regular, especially on vacation!) 

Lucy watching movies with Isaac. 

Lucy loved family scripture study. She even got her own book and followed along. 

Lucy wasn't the only one interested in Poppa's new ipad. We messed around taking silly pictures of ourselves with "photo booth" quite a bit. 

We played lots and lots of games! Cranium was a favorite on this trip. I bet we played it at least 6 times. We also played monopoly deal, Truth be Told, Celestial Pursuit (oh yes we did),Sequence, and Mad Gab. I love that my family loves games. 

We also played a lot of Wii. Including family favorites such as Mario Cart, Super Smash Brawl, Mario Strikers,Wii Sports, Band Hero and our new favorite....

Just Dance 3!!!! It's my new favorite (not so much Erik's). I love it! We played it so much that we started to be able to do the dances without the game. Pretty pathetic. And our Korean friend put us all to shame and won EVERY TIME! 

We played basketball ball, pickle ball and swam at the gym a few times as well. We always have so much fun with the crazy Jewkes clan! It's always a party! These kids keep me young! :)
