This will be interesting. This Friday around 5:00 AM we intend to take the kids to my parents' house -- A.K.A., "The Farm."
Of course this was a huge hit with our respite child CL, but two smaller kids will be much different. We are leaving very early because we want them to be asleep for most of the drive. When we arrive around 7:30 they should be getting hungry and waking up - that is when we arrive for breakfast.
Friday afternoon we have scheduled a big Easter egg hunt. I am not sure how much they will figure out about that, but we will see. We will also attempt to sleep for the first night away from home. My mom and dad have a Graco "Pack 'N Play" that CO will sleep in while in a nearby room. LP will be sleeping in our room (since she sleeps though the night) in OUR Pack 'N Play that we are bringing.
Saturday night we try this all at Melinda's mom's (Elaines's) house and attempt going to church on Easter Sunday.
We head back home Sunday immediately after lunch.
Congratulations on your new journey of foster care. My inlaws have been doing FC for about 10 years and have adopted 2 girls (now almost 8 & 12), about 5 years ago. Now they are being asked to adopt another (a 22 month old boy),which they are in prayer about. Tell Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Jack we said hello. ~Jenny~
