First Family of 5 Weekend Getaway!

   

The kids had Spring Break this past week, so we decided that we would take them out of town for the weekend - just a short little trip.  I prepared "G" ahead of time explaining what a hotel was, what all we were going to do, and that after 2 nights sleep, we would be coming back home.  He did great.  He slept beside the girls bed and did great.

We headed to the local children's museum.

Our first stop was the water area.  "G" loved this area.  The girls have been several times, so they enjoyed being able to show him how everything worked.  We were here for a long time.

Next stop was the art area.  This is "B" favorite spot.

"A" favorite area is the music area.

After about the first half of the museum, we left for lunch.  When we returned, we headed to the science area.  All of the kids loved the hands-on activities.

 

While dad and the girls built a house, "G" figured out how to line-up the tubes to get a ball to go through them.

Next, we were off to our hotel pool.  It was awesome, because as we were headed into the pool, we ran into some good friends of ours.  We were able to hang out by the pool and visit and later do dinner and ice cream together.  They pick up their daughter from ET this week.

At first "G" was a little unsure of the pool and decided to stick to the hot tub.

After putting on some floaties, he decided to jump in.

He's a pool fan now :)

The next day, we headed to the local aquarium.

The kids discuss the "game plan".  I go over the rules of how we stick together, and what to do if you get lost.

After the aquarium and ice cream, it was such a beautiful day, we decide to do some walking.  We did a LOT of walking!!

I love this picture.  It sums up our weekend.  We had a great time!
