In Danville, there isn't much to entertain the kids with that is affordable and cool on hot summer days. No McDonald's play place, no Chick Fil A play place, no mall...nothing. We planned to visit family for the holiday but things didn't work out that way. I had a bright idea on Tuesday and asked Aunt Lacey and Ivy if they would like to join us. Here was my cheap idea for July 4th all day and night until noon July 5th:
With Ivy's husband's AAA discount, we got a motel room for $60 which meant $20 each. We had so much fun! Ivy, Trinity, Titus, the kids and I, and Lacey swam our hearts out all day. My mom and sister came up too and spent part of the day with us. After we had enough swimming for the day, we went to Orange Leaf where we enjoyed some DEE LISH yogurt.
Then, of course, off to see fireworks!
Ashlee, I have enjoyed catching up on your blog! I was absolutley touched by Kari Wednesday morning at Dairy Queen. I have prayed and cried daily! I emailed you yesterday, we want to help raise money for TEAM KARI and possible walk with you all!!! Your daughter is the most sweetest, precious GOD sent, heavenly angel! So glad you all had a wonderful 4th! :) (Tasha)
ReplyDeleteAshley, I could say alot about this post, but I have to ask? Have you lost a few lbs? You look so thin and I'm so jealous. I love motels and pools and Orange Leaf yogurt. Sounded like a great time.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness Ashlee, I have thought about doing the same thing lately!! We need a pool!!!! lol
ReplyDeleteAren't you the thrifty Mama? Sounds like a genius idea! My son's birthday is in January and it's always icky and cold weather. I've thought about doing the indoor pool thing at a hotel for him before. Think it would be a hit.
ReplyDeleteMe, again :). I sent you a looong email about a week ago. Did it get lost somewhere?
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't get it!! :( Try sending it again?
