Water Fun!

Last week my kids were on spring break.  Unfortunately, we didn't have any fun vacations planned so we spent most of the week at home...did some shopping at the Mall of America but also had a few days of winter storms that we were basically stuck inside so it was a LONG week for this mama bear!  I was happy to send them all back to school on Monday!

One thing we did do was rent a hotel suite for a night and met my sister and her family(she also had 5 children) there.  The kids had a great time in the water and just hanging out with their cousins.  The adults had a great time visiting with each other too!  We even were able to sneak away for a nice relaxing dinner without the 10 kids!  The pool area was nothing fancy but the kids LOVED just being in the water.  It made me realize that I will never again miss a warm-weather vacation in the middle of winter...it's just too long to survive in the cold here in Minnesota without a break!!!  Next year we are already thinking Disney or Nickolodeon Cruise....
