My daughter turns 7 tomorrow. She will start the day by going with XW, S8 and myself to a girl scout activity at a rose garden. Then we will come back to my house to open her presents and I will show XW how to water my vegetable garden and flowers for while I am gone on vacation. I will see if D7 and S8 will want to go to a county fair tomorrow and then some fun dinner place D7 desires for her birthday (please no more Chucky Cheese).
The kids and I are leaving early sunday for 3 weeks in beautiful Kauai. I have only one planned activity there (zodiac boat trip on Napali coast). I can easily find many fun things to do the rest of the time including some good hikes that the kids will enjoy. My father and step mom will stay with us in our rented condo for about 5 days towards the end of our trip. XW is driving us to and from the airport. Post divorce life is very amicable between her and I.
I have the kids on the labor day weekend and will be taking them backpacking for 3 days in a very nice alpine wilderness with good fishing and lots of delicious huckleberries. If D7 does not wish to go, then it will be just me and the boy like last year (it snowed).
