Komarnicki Kids

I am trying hard to keep up with these blog posts. It's hard to keep up with things lately, and this is one of the first things that gets pushed back.

I am finally going to write about our Memorial Day weekend! We had plans to drive to Pennsylvania to visit Scott's family. Unfortunately, our plans had to change sort of last minute and we ended up not going. I was in desperate need of a routine change, so I told Scott that staying home that weekend wasn't an option. I didn't care where we went or what we did, I just needed a change.

My parents were going to visit my Grandma that weekend, and she's only about 2 hours away, so we decided to tag along for a quick visit. We stayed at a hotel with a pool and tried out Addison and Fischer's life jackets! The pool was pretty cold, so our swimming session only lasted about 30 minutes. It was fun watching them go from scared and nervous, to relaxed (sort of) and confident. They even "jumped" off the side several times!

We hung out at my Grandma's some, and the kids made sure to destroy some things. :) They also had fun tormenting her cats, Jack and Killer. Luckily, the cats are VERY patient and let Addison and Fischer love on them a lot.

I did some research and found a really cool place about an hour away. It's called Lazy 5 Ranch, and it's  in Mooresville, NC. You can either ride through the ranch (a 3.5 mile loop) in your car and look at all the animals, or do a wagon ride. We opted for the hour-long wagon ride, and it was so cool! The animals came right up to the wagon, and we got to feed them. There were so many different types of animals. Addison and Fischer really seemed to enjoy it, and didn't seem scared at all of the animals. They did their share of dropping food into the giant mouths too! We will definitely have to go back there, maybe in the fall when it's a bit cooler.

We headed home on Memorial Day, with a sick child. Addison woke up Monday morning and started throwing up, including once about 10 minutes into our drive home. She was pretty out of it that entire day, then seemed almost back to normal on Tuesday. It was very strange, and no one else got sick!

I hope all of you had a great holiday weekend (even though it was a couple weekends ago).
