Thats right
its been four years, but, finally, the HICKS ARE GOING BACK!
A lot has happened in four years.
As you might notice in my siggie, I didnt get around to finishing my last trip report.
The shame is only bearable due to the fact that I had a baby during the writing of that report child #8 in our family
and I was not quite prepared for the nuttiness that a baby added to our routine.
She has added great joy to our home, and all of us are very much in love with her.
Then, when said baby was a little over a year old dh decided to start checking out other employment options.
Three months later, we moved from Michigan to Wisconsin.
Life is good here behind the Cheese Curtain, though we have not yet gone over to the dark side aka Packer Fandom
because we still love our Lions.
[No mocking please...they have improved greatly over the last few years.]
Only one real Packer fan in our midst and we cant figure out where she gets it. *cough*TRAITOR*cough*
Last year, our oldest graduated from homeschool high school.
She then proceeded to move back to MI to be a nanny.
Apparently, it's not as Mary Poppins-esque and one would imagine.
She has now moved back home and will be accompanying us on our Disney trip were very excited!
But first, a word about our Hick-ness.
Let me first say we are not as Hick-ish as some.
We used live in a pretty big town in Michigan but now we live in a pretty small town here in WI.
But our house still has only one color of siding,
we have no major appliances on our porch,
and we still have no cars on blocks in our yard.
And with the exception of some of our smaller children, we have all of our teeth.
We dont show up at hotels in a beat up pickup with all our belongings in garbage bags.
[Just in our new Big Gas Van seating for 12!
Sadly, the big green van of previous trips died this summer.
A moment of silence please.
We call the new white van Glinda the Good Van.
Which gives you an idea what the green one was.
]
The original idea of Hicks on Holiday was in reference to a trip we made in 8/05,
where our McDonalds family was faced with the prospect of eating fancy food on the free dining plan at WDW,
and we felt like our Hick flag was flying.
So while we may not be Hicks all the way through, we are small town Americans, and were willing to represent the Hick in all of us.
But I digress....
May I present to you, the Hicks on Holiday 4, "Return of the Hicks Now with More Hicks" Pre-Trip Report...
