Ok, so Tiff left her Mr. Banana at our house on Saturday, so Daphne decided it was her new toy. And yes, she also found a passsy and thought it would be fun to sleep with that also. She never took one as a baby, and doesn't sleep with them now. It was weird that she wanted it when she found it. Daphne was holding Banana hostage. We had to sneak him out of the house and into church when Daphne wasn't looking!
Brandon had to sit on the saddle at Texas Roadhouse for his birthday.
Saturday morning, Clinton and Brandon got up early and went to a yard sale, while Charity, Daphne, Bryson, and I went to a baseball game of some of the boys in my classrooms. After we got back, we were packing a lunch to go play at the park, when the boys started talking about doing something spontaneous and going somewhere. SOOOOO....we ended up spending the night at the Great Wolf Lodge and played at the indoor water park. Oh wow it was so much fun! The kids (both big and small) enjoyed themselves emmensely. We can't wait to go back! It was really nice because it was a fairly big room with two queen beds and a pull out full size bed for the kids, and we could swim all afternoon Saturday and all day Sunday, even after we checked out of the room. It had restaurants and games all throughout the lodge. It was wonderful!
The two kids wrestling Clinton on the bed. I think they were winning at this point!
The kids before we went into the pool on Sunday morning.
The kids in their floaties. They loved these because they could go in the kiddie pool without someone holding them the whole time.
This is an attempt at showing what the little ones played on about 98% of the time. It had two small slides, a big tube slide, "jet skis" and all kinds of other play things. Daphne got really brave and would go up the steps and down the slides and back around all by herself. Of course we were in the pool with her, but she would go around the step area by herself as we followed on the outside. She was even trying to swim by herself in the pool following the other kids.
A really bad picture of the wave pool. The great thing was there were not nearly as many people there as when you go to Carowinds. You had to stay at the lodge in order to get into the water park. There were several tube slides that the adults played on :)
Bryson laying around waiting for the boys to get out of the bathroom after dinner. Dinner was wonderful at the lodge!
Daphne and daddy talking before bedtime. It was adorable.
At the end of the night on Saturday, the two little ones were barely staying awake. They swam from 3-6 and then from 7 until 9! Needless to say, once we actually got them used to the bed and the room, they slept VERY well. While Charity and I put the kids to bed (she had to do homework), Clinton and Brandon went downstairs to the arcade and won the little ones a monkey for each.
The two little ones in the bed.
They passed out pretty hard. They had trouble getting to sleep since it was a new place, but Pavlov's song did the trick :) Also, they barely had a nap on both Saturday and Sunday, so Daphne fell asleep for good by 7:15 sunday! We also stopped by Dave and Buster's on the way out on Sunday to see one of Brandon's friends, and we played games for awhile for free with his game card. We all won two dragons and two suckers...guess who got those!
Daddy and Daphne reading together before bedtime. They read like 3 books together.
The two of them reading on the couch. Oh yes, it was adorable! We are very ready for summer to take lots of fun trips!
