it was spring break so our two day pass was multiplied by three.
t. bone and miss bit spent a couple of action packed, exhausting days early in the week with grandma and grandpa.
when i picked them up wednesday, they questioned, "where are we going?"
they really give the energizer bunny a run for his money...and grandma and grandpa too for that matter.
i was quick to inform them, "well...the dentist and the orthodontist!"and then silly to ask, "isn't that exciting?!"
i mean really who wants to travel to florida and fight the crowds just to get a picture with mickey and minnie, or vamos a mexico and risk being kidnapped?
when the littles didn't share my excitement for oral hygiene, i buckled and booked a room in the water park capital of the world.
now i had their attention, affection and enthusiasm.
it was a good choice because we all had a choice time.
bit and i lapped up the wave pool.
t. bone triumphed over the tornado.
hubby impressed t. bone with his prowess in the pool during a game of four on four.
in between rides, i stole away in my book with a fruity drink.
i really felt Ingrid's pain.
after all, i wasn't dry for 24 hours, which by the way is the limit of any stay at the water park if you intend to keep your sanity.
i guess that's a little dramatic since she was imprisoned for over 6 years in the rain forest.
we finally broke for dinner at 9:00 and were in bed by 10:00 so we could be rested and ready when the doors opened in the morning rarin' to go.
luckily we weren't there when they closed them for the evening.
we were home in time to bowl with the champs while the kids played late in the night with friends.
more playdates were made for sunday - the last day of vacation - so i had plenty of time to read in between loads of laundry and finish my book.
my brother and sister in law joined us for an end of weekend baseball game and bbq.
we had burgers so good it will be hard to outdo them all summer long...
caprese salad, corn and salted caramel cupcakes too.
the littles got to bed just a little late.
i got to bed early and slept like a baby all night long.
yet i'm glad it's almost time for bed again.
as much as it's nice to have a break from the daily grind, i'm ready for a return to routine.
