Though, I was left worried about it being a negative reason (sick child) being the last post made before the "disappearance". Seinfeld reassured me all was well, however. Sort of.<br /><br />Conflicted on how to respond being these are all "predictions" even if they sound... sound. There is a lot of historical backing... ancient almost >.>, but I digress... no public pools! Win-win! Well, unlike in most cases, I hope history repeated itself and you all had a great vacation! I saw Part 2 was full of pics, so I have a feeling I am about to step into your vacation world soon enough.<br /><br />Hopefully everything went as planned cause your described vacations sound great! My family wasn't particularly huge on vacations. It sounds like you could name the vacation Diabetes Days! So much sugary goodness. At least you limit their intake on the daily. I have always kind of have free reign with those kinds of foods and ooofta it can catch up fast. :-)<br /><br />On to the photo shoot!<br /><br />P.S. You may have avoided being thieved by my Ninja Bush Babies this time... but next time you better hope your "sympathy" card play is stronger.

About once a year, my dad would announce a "junk food" day, and we would have Ding Dongs, Twinkies, and other non-nutritious items.

Totally the way a vacation should be and last year when we went away for a few days with family there was Dunkin Donuts and cereal for the kids at breakfast everyday.

It was the only time you could open the camper pantry to find it stocked with Little Debbies, chocolate bars, and all sort of other terrible things. Haha! YUM! Nowadays if I eat junk food a few days in a row, even on vacation, I start getting reealllyy sick. No fun.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09664068521097565025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-25067703392450857902013-07-13T08:42:28.592-04:002013-07-13T08:42:28.592-04:00What an awesome holiday list!
