Vacation week was pretty chill in the O’Brien house. Aidan hung out with friends during the week and Brendan had performances. But we did have some fun family time- mostly centered around food.
We kicked off the week at our favorite breakfast place- Paramount. It’s always fun to be there and see families with little kids and realize how bug our kids are. Chris was off on Monday, and Bren has no shows, so we decided on a family activity. We took the kids to Dave and Busters. We gave them preloaded cards and texted when the appetizer, meal and dessert came. It was the best. They had fun and Chris and I could relax while they played. Aidan’s prize was a game cube (checkers, chess, card games, dice). Bren won a unicorn pillow and a few fun cups. Another day the boys and I went to another local brunch place and had Fruity Pebble Pancakes (Aidan wasn’t a big fan, but I was!).
Vacations come when you need them most- and other than a project Bren had to work on (Black History Month– this year’s subject RuPaul), the kids could relax a lot.
