A Difficult Offer to Refuse

It was nice of them to ask. However, you know what and what you are not comfortable with Tell sis to take lots of pics and videos

That was nice of them to invite you. I wouldn't be able to deal with that long car ride even without back pain. I am terrible in a car after about 3 hours.

You love the kids and they love you but for the drive, nope, not worth it. I hope no one had hurt feelings over it.

I didn't even know there was actually an amusement park dedicated to Peppa Pig! It's nice they wanted to include you, but yah, I totally get your reasoning to not go. The long car ride and even to just hang out in an amusement park with all that walking can be too much.

nice of them to ask.

It does sound like a lot of fun, but you know your limits. Maybe your sister can plan something fun for you to be included fyjuat a day trip sometime. Heck, just say that to her…sometimes I don’t think people realize that some of us can’t do certain things due to physical limitations. A reminder won’t hurt!

No point in going when you know you will have issues with your health

I am sure that you will love to hear each of the children tell you their own rendition of the trip's highlights, as much as they will enjoy telling you.

Still it was sweet of them to ask you.

I understand not wanting to ride that far

At least they thought of you and wanted to include you, I agree about the short stay, I think that any stay anywhere should be at least a week-long or more,

Its disappointing that you had to pass on that vacation but I certainly understand how hard it can be for a long car ride. Hugs for Aunt Amber

I'm sorry you couldn't go. Pig rides? That sounds hilarious.

I think it was not rude to decline at all. Because you're sincerely grateful for their invitation, but it's nice that you know how to listen to what you feel. It's not that you don't want it, it's just that it's not what yourself needs at the moment.

That’s so sweet of your sister and her family to offer! I can understand why they’d want you to join, especially for a fun trip like that. But I totally get what you mean about needing to save your energy—it’s important to listen to your body, especially when you have back pain. A long car ride and a quick trip could be exhausting, and it sounds like you made the right call for your own well-being. I’m sure your sister understands, and I’m sure the kids will have a blast, but I bet they’ll appreciate you keeping yourself healthy so you’re there for them in the future, too. Maybe you can plan a trip with them when it’s a bit more comfortable for you. Either way, Dallas must be so fun to visit when you’re up for it!

Aw...didn't know there was such a place. My nephews used to watch Peppa Pig when they were little.

They love you very much, so I feel sure they'll understand. Don't feel guilty about not being able to go.

It was nice for them to ask you. Have a nice day.

We we're talking about going to Kentucky, and with the pain I've been in. I just don't know if I'm up for it right now. I hate Texas, but for other reasons. LOL. GET your phone fixed I miss you,.

you know you and therefore, you made a good decision for you. i still love childish things but peppa pig is too childish even for me
