I was alone with the 3 kids for the first half of Spring Break while Robbie took students to a retreat in Colorado--and we survived! And even had lots of fun! After Rob got home, we decided to take the kids on an overnight trip to Salina. We met up with Rob's parents and his sister's family for a little mini-vacation-it was a blast and we totally wore the kids out! The hotel we stayed at was not fancy at all--actually pretty run down, but it only cost us 50 dollars a room, and the greatest perk was the big waterslide--the kids played on this thing for HOURS and never got tired of it. It was the perfect size pool, and we were some of the only ones there, so the grown ups got to relax in the hot tub and watch the kids play in the pool. Might just become an annual thing!
The cousins enjoyed playing games in the lobby. Our kids play so great with their cousins--they're inseparable, and I love it!
Sarah was having fun taking pics with Grace. This was the best shot she got.
Don't Robbie and his dad look thrilled to be on vacation?!? I laughed when I saw this picture--they look so bored! This was while we were waiting 1 1/2 hrs to be seated for dinner! !
The kids enjoying themselves at a fun burger and shake joint.
We spent an afternoon at the zoo (wildlife park, I think it's actually called). It was a little chilly, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Doesn't Levi look so grown up in this picture with his cousin Hope? And ORNERY--that kid is always up to something!
We couldn't believe how this huge rhino could climb! What a riot! He looked like he could climb right out of there!
The kids found a tunnel that led to this observation box--they were giggling like crazy, with their heads popping up and down for our entertainment!
Priceless...
