Reunion: The Meltdown

Last night, we had our official first meltdowns of the week. Meltdowns of all kinds. First, there was the general breakdown in communication between the husband folk in general. Reunion is one of those places you definitely need a plan, and a meeting place. Cell phones have helped that chaos factor immensely, but still, a plan is crucial. The worst of the breakdowns involved our inability to buy bracelets to ride the AWESOME rides. We made it down to the midway a few minutes after bracelet curfew, but try to explain that to a 3 year old and a couple of 5ish year olds. Ugh. Thankfully, we satisfied them with a few rides via ticket purchases, and $7 light sabors. We won't be visiting the midway again until 2010. Yay us. And finally, there were the general exhaustion meltdowns. Staying up until the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT can wear on a little body after a few nights. Wanting to visit "water balloon land" but needing "to go to a cozy bed" caused a little inner turmoil in the little people. So, we packed up and headed home around 1 o'clock this morning. The kids are taking tonight off, and will be recharging at Grandmom's house watching movies and going to bed EARLY. The rest of us, however, will be going full throttle at the annual Game Night Extravaganza. Reunion. It's a good thing it only comes once a year.
