The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men

Today was Husband's last day of vacation before he heads back to work.  We wanted to do something fun as a family, so we loaded up the minivan and headed to Grapevine Mills to check out the aquarium.  After standing in line for a few minutes, we decided to ask how long the wait was to get in.  The guy working said, about an hour, and that was the shortest wait of the day!!!  There was NO way that my girls were going to stand in line for an hour, so we ditched those plans.

The day wasn't the fun, exciting, memorable last day before work that I wanted it to be, but we did get to spend it together.  We spent the day running errands and grabbing some great deals (2-pocket folders with brads for a penny!!!).  Even though it wasn't what we were hoping for, it was nice to spend the day together and my girls were exhausted when they crawled into bed.  We were only called in once and it was by Little L who thought she deserved to stay up later.  D slept through the entire thing.  Ah....

Now to face the next week and a half with just me and the girls.  Anyone have any cheap, air conditioned ideas to help a mother out?
