Another Month/Vacation

Time is going by so fast. Here we are already starting our third month of 2011. It's hard to believe.

We left for my Mom's on Friday, and drove there in a snow storm. A 4hr trip took us 6hrs, thank you slippery roads, but we made it there safe and sound. I got to hang out with my beautiful niece Trinity, my awesome sister Sam, her husband Chris, my brother Eric and his girl Cara, my brother Luke and my Mom and Dad. I miss them so much, and wish we saw them more often.

Saturday morning we left at around 2pm from my Mom's to head to the Six Flags Great Escape Indoor Water Park Lodge in Lake George. The kids faces were priceless when they realized where we were. They were so excited and happy. We went to check in (we were early) to find our room wasn't ready yet, so we went and picked up Subway for supper. We then went back to the hotel, checked in, and got unloaded and settled in our room. I have never seen the kids eat supper and change so fast in my life. We took them all to the water park for a bit. I stayed as long as baby allowed, and then I took her back up to the room to put her to bed, while Jon stayed in the water park with the older two. Sunday, Kaylee woke up in an ok mood, and then turned in to devil baby for the rest of the day. She spent a little time in the water and then needed a nap. I spent most of Sunday in the room with her, because she was being so awful. She couldn't go to bed soon enough that day. The older two on the other hand spent from 10am-5pm in the water park. There is a restaurant right in the area of the park so they didn't even have to leave to eat lunch. For supper that night we had Papa John's pizza. Oh how I missed that place. I used to eat it all the time in Utah. Their garlic dipping sauce is the BEST. Monday was check out day, so after getting up we started packing up. Kaylee was good a little longer, at least long enough for Jon and I to catch a shower, and all of us to go down and have breakfast. After that it was time for her to nap, she wasn't having it. It was really close to check out, so even if she had fallen asleep, she wouldn't have been able to finish her nap there anyway. I put her in the wrap, we both checked the room over, and didn't see anything we missed, and we check out. We were allowed to stay in the water park till two, so the older kids changed before we left the hotel room and we let them have some time playing before we left. I walked around the lobby with Kaylee in the wrap, hoping she would nap so she could play in the water one last time before we left. She napped for about a half hour, before some stupid family came and sat where I was sitting with her and said "awwww look at the baby" with their obnoxious two kids. Thanks strangers for waking up my infant. Assholes! Anyhow, I took her into the water park we changed and got in the water for a little bit, but it was way over chlorinated and cold, so we weren't in long before she started fussing. I got her out, gave her lunch, and then we showered and got dressed. It weren't long after that, that we got the older two rounded up and got them showered and dressed. We headed to go eat, but the place we wanted to eat was closed. So we hit up Subway again, stopped at Walmart for a jar of baby food incase we weren't home in time for her to have her supper. Then we were headed home. We got home around 5:30pm and we both sighed and said we needed a vacation from our vacation. At least the kids had a blast, that's what matters the most.

The kids go back to school tomorrow, and I have to go food shopping tomorrow. Today Julie has ballet, and Tyler is back to using the treadmill. Kaylee seems to be falling back into her schedule even though she's sick. So I'm hoping to have a less stressful week this week, then I did last week.

I hope everyone has a great day!
