The fun continued

After we got home from the beach we unpacked, Logan and I went grocery shopping, had lunch then Dave set up the Slip-N-Slide.

 

Alayna talked Aunt Theresa into buying this for her birthday a few weeks ago but since she had jacked her knees all up that same day this was our first time getting to use them. By the way we have now nicknamed her scabbers because this girl has a new cut/scab/bruise on the daily it seems. She actually likes it and it is kinda cute.

  We had to move it around the yard a good 4 times before finding a good spot but we found it. The perfect spot even allowed for us to open the gate so they could get a nice running start from the front yard.

 They had a good hours worth of fun before we turned it off. I would love to get a small pool but the inflatable ones will kill the grass and I don't have the money yet for a real pool. Maybe one day! 

 After we cleaned up and chilled for a bit we went over to our friends house to have dinner and play. Angel even had a craft set up, making slime!

 Heart shaped slime :)

The boys played some corn hole before dinner.

 Our view leaving their house which unfortunately was a little earlier than we planned. Dave had worked on his car earlier before we went to our friends house and he had got something in his eye. Well after trying anything we could he finally called the afterhours number and they told him to go to urgent care. So we headed there and thank God for my sister Krystal, she came and grabbed the kids and I stayed with Dave. We were there almost 2 hours and when we got home the kids were passed out so it was a good thing she got them.

So basically he had a small piece of plastic up under his top eyelid and it took them numbing his eye to get it out. It was super small but he said the pain was high. The doctor said it wouldn't have just worked itself out of his eye so it was a good thing we didn't wait because he would have been just miserable.

 This was after they made the pain go away, smiles all around!

(Random picture of the sky Monday morning when I got back from doing blood work.)

 

Sunday we went to church, came home and hung out then headed to my parents house for dinner and hanging out. The kids actually ended up coming back to the house with us so we took a quick bike ride before their mom got there to pick them up!

 

It was a GREAT weekend and I am so thankful for opportunities for fun with family and friends!

MB Part 2...

I woke up around 7:30 Friday morning and went to locate the gym once I realized everyone was still asleep. It was a rainy morning so it was perfect that the kids were not up early because they would have probably gone a little stir crazy.

When I got back from my workout Logan was awake and I was not feeling a nutrigrain bar for breakfast so we hopped in the car and found a McDonalds. Yup the workout was all for nothing haha but it is what it is. We got back, had breakfast, the sun came out (YAY), we all got dressed, snacks/water packed and headed to the first pool.  

 This was actually one of my favorite parts of the trip. This part had a pool, a lazy river then another pool area which was more of a play area that had buckets pouring water out every few seconds and a place they could swim through. It was awesome!

 

 I have no clue why some of the pictures are normal size and some are TINY.... I just don't understand but it is what it is.

 After the first pool we headed down to the beach to play for a bit. We wanted to rent the chairs but it was $35... next time we are bringing chairs! It was the one thing I didn't even consider bringing with us.

  The kids had a blast for the short time we were down there. The tide was coming in and little by little the beach was getting smaller and smaller. I should also mention there were a TON of people down there.

 After the beach we hit up another pool which I guess I was too busy enjoying it because I took zero pictures there!

  We headed back to the condo around 3, showered, relaxed a little then went to Broadway at the beach. We shopped, did the ropes course outside (the kids, kinda did this), went to WonderWorks, and had dinner.

 

  

 

 Lazer Tag! This wasn't near as fun as I hoped it would be but the kids enjoyed it.

 

 

 Alayna picked out her birthday gift from Nini and Papa, a mermaid fin. She tried it out when we got back to the condo. I know she is looking forward to more pool trips to use it.

 

The kids were exhausted so we had them go to bed at normal time, 8:30 then we watched some Bloodline on Netflix and crashed.

 I woke up early Saturday morning and headed out for a walk. I didn't initially plan to walk on the beach but ended up there. It was beautiful!

 

When I got back we had breakfast, packed and headed home. We had lots of fun the rest of the weekend too minus the trip to Urgent care.

 

We definitely had a blast and will make next years trip at least another day if not 2 more days. I could have used another few rounds on the lazy river and relaxing by the pool.

 

This was also kind of a test for me since I had never traveled with the kids. Besides them being bored in the car it really was a perfect getaway. I don't think I am quite ready for a trip to NJ with them (Hello 12 hours in the car) but we have another weekend trip already planned this month we are looking forward to.
