Back From Vacation

Well we're back from our Staycation. We had a great time. To save money we stayed at my brothers house in Delaware and did day trips together. The kids had fun hanging out and it was great to really have some time with my brother and his wife. The house they now have is great and very roomy. During our stay we went to a museum, a potato chip factory, Fort Delaware on Pea Pod Island and took a 4-6 hour canoe/kayak trip. To finish up our week we had to leave Rick's and head back home for a minor league baseball game that my work was paying for. The only problem with the whole week was I got stung on my toe by a yellow jacket on Thursday and by Saturday, my foot was really getting swollen. I ended up calling the doctor and going on steroids. Right now, my toe is just really red and itchy. Here are some pictures of our fun.
