Vacations can be hard to make happen. We have to find someone to take care of our animals. My parents have to go with us to help with the kids since DD2 requires so much care and have to have backup for the other two in case we have to head to the hospital.

DH and I “celebrated” our tenth anniversary in Dec. Found out the day before that we’d lost our baby. Can’t/won’t leave DD2 to get away just the two us. Had planned an overnight break with the kids staying at my parents in early Dec and DD2 got the stomach bug. Sure as heck wasn’t leaving her!!!

I think our “vacation” this year will be a trip to see some family near Fort Wayne. My dad will do chores here. Will be gone three days. Extended family can take care of older two if a trip to the hospital needs to happen.

We hope to make it work. Our yearlings are due to lamb at the end of March and hopefully the grass will be growing by then so we can make it work. We have come to the realization that our vacations will be separate.
Hope it works out for you Mike so you can have a little vacation time.

It sure can be hard to make happen. It's not easy to have to find someone to do animal chores and you also don't want to plan a longer vacation because of that.
We don't take much vacation at all. Even though the thought of having a "just the two of us" vacation sounds nice, I don't think I'd go on a vacation without taking my son.
I wish we all live close to each other so we can help each other out and another family go on vacation. ;)

Yeah, same here. I take care of my neighbors chickens when they go out of town and vice versa. Course, I feed on time when its their animals. Not so much with mine, but at least they get fed at some point. My Mom used to do it but with her surgery and recent health issues, thats not an option anymore. Finding trustworthy, dependable people to help you out is hard sometimes.
