Great Wolf Lodge

Since the boys are in 2 different schools, there Fair Days are opposite. Will & Andy's Fair Day was on Friday, October 4; and Ben's Fair Days were October 7 & 8. So since it's not as big of a deal for Will & Andy to miss as it is for Ben - we kept Will & Andy out of school on October 7 & 8 and went to Great Wolf Lodge. 

Oh my goodness ..... it was soooooooo fun! We had the greatest time!

Ben at Pine Cove Camp

Ben's school did a 5th grade Field Trip to Pine Cove Camp. It was April 17-19, the biggest field trip of their elementary career. They all look forward to it. David signed up to Chaperone, but then had something come up at work and was unable to go. Luckily, Uncle Bubba has been to Pine Cove before and could happily take David's place and go with Ben. They had a great time and got to experience so many fun activities. We are so thankful to Uncle Bubba for going with Ben. It was Ben's first time to be away from home on a school trip w/o one of us. So, it helped ease my mind having Uncle Bubba there. 

Here's Ben with his group. Everyone was assigned a group that they had to do all their activities with and stay with during the 3 day trip.

Ben had a great time, and really enjoyed his time at Pine Cove w/his class and with Uncle Bubba. SOOOOOO fun!

Arkansas - Spring Break!

It's finally spring break and we are thrilled! We have been waiting for lazy days for awhile. We have also been waiting to meet our friends, the Halls'. They live in TN, and we are meeting them halfway in Little Rock, AR for a visit.

Mini-Holiday Vacay

We were all sick over Christmas break and didn't leave the house. The flu hit us all pretty bad. Once we were finally well, I decided to take the boys for a little mini-getaway just so we could get out of the house and enjoy what was left of their Christmas break.

I found a great deal on a room sat Embassy Suites. We've actually stayed there before, so I knew the pool and breakfast would be perfect.

Our first day/night, our friend's, the Weiners, joined us. Robert is one of Will's bestfriends, so Will was pretty happy to have him there. We met at the Galleria and went Ice Skating. It was fun, but alot of work and the kids didn't last long w/it. We had lunch at Chili's, then to the hotel, then went for a swim. The kids were having a great time.

We also met a really great family on our first night, the Hall's. It just so happened that they had 3 children, the exact ages of mine and my boys LOVED them. Ben and Casey (who is also 10) hit it off great. Then Andy and Jacob (who is also 5) hit it off great. Their middle child, Alexis is 8, like Will. They seemed to play well together - along w/Robert. They all had such a great time. We swam in the pool for quite sometime and the kids had a ball.

The second day/night, the Weiner's left - but we stayed. We actually got together w/the Hall's. We went to Jump Town (an indoor Jump Place) so the kids could play. Everyone had such a great time. Then swam later in the evening. And for our second night, we had to change hotels b/c I only booked one night and there was a big college football game in town and the hotel was full. We stayed at another Embassy Suites just down the road.

The third day/night, we got together w/the Hall's again. We actually went to an indoor trampoline park. Which was a blast. We had never been to one before. It was great exercise and great fun. After that we went to McDonald's for ice-cream and more playtime. Then we all headed back to the hotel. We stayed our third night  back at the first Embassy Suites, so we could be near the Hall's.
