This year we went on a spontaneous little family getaway and went straight from our Rueckert family party so when we arrived at our destination we got out of the car looking like the Incredibles. It was pretty humorous. We didn't decide on going until late the night before. Danny's professor (Jamie) rented out an entire trampoline place as an AirBNB in Salina, Utah. She invited our family but Danny didn't give her an answer right away. He wasn't sure he wanted to go and I was okay with whatever he decided. But when he said the morning of that we should go I threw all of our stuff together and had it ready by the door.
We first had pre-made plans with my family's Halloween party and we all know I wasn't going to miss that but once we left the party we drove straight to Salina. I'm so glad we went. I think it's going to be in one of my top five favorite memories for 2019. The kids did so incredibly well for the drive and loved everything about the place that we stayed at. Salina is a little town and one that I honestly had never even heard of before but the AirBNB was so much fun. It was also the first time that I really got to know Jamie and she got to know us. It was just our two families and such a good bonding experience. Have I already mentioned that I'm really glad we went? Because I'm really glad we went.☺️
Jamie's family also challenged us to an obstacle course relay where we timed ourselves. Danny won. I was hesitate to do it but they talked me into it and it was a lot of fun. I didn't even come close to winning but it sure was fun. Hudson got so into it. He did it at least three times and wanted every turn to be his turn. He was so cute about it and the look on his face was of pure determination. I got it on video which I'll post below. I actually got all of ours on video except for Addie, which I'm sad about. She was the first person to even try it and I thought I was recording the whole time but it turns out had never actually started it. So I was following her around with the camera only to realize much later that I didn't actually record anything. We tell her she was the fastest though and she didn't seem to mind as much as I did about the recording mistake.
