a little getaway to great wolf lodge waterpark

noah has been asking us if he can sleep in a hotel.  (he has only ever spent the night in a hotel once in his life when we went to king of prussia last summer.)  so, we decided to book him a one night stay at great wolf lodge, because he enjoyed the waterpark so much when we went there once last year for a few hours.

we stayed over on sunday night, which meant we got to spend all day at the waterpark on sunday and monday.  noah loved it, mom and dad are worn out.  

he rode a ton of the bigger waterslides with us since he is taller now than he was last year.  he also loved the special "kid kamp" themed room that we got him.

dressing up for a woodstock tribute

we had a woodstock tribute band at the theatre this past weekend, so annie and i traded in our theatre black clothes for our matching tie-dye shirts.  my dad went all out and traded in his red usher vest for a full hippie costume.  it was great!  everyone wanted a picture with papa!

my yoga buddies

i pulled out the yoga mats to stretch for the first time in a long time and the boys decided to join me.  mr. noah has pretty good form!

checking out the new nay aug pool

we were so happy to have a beautiful day last week where we were able to check out the brand new nay aug park pool after school.  noah had a fun time swimming, playing at the splash pad, and coming down the waterslide so many times we lost count!

a visit to the imagination station

on sunday we had a chance to visit the new kids' imagination station that opened in our area.  our neighbor had his 4th birthday party there and we were so happy to be invited to celebrate and play.  noah had a grand time checking out all of the things they had there!

a rare moment of quiet from leko

leko is very vocal and spends most of his time yelling at us.  so i couldn't resist snapping a photo of him in a rare moment when he was quiet and resting in my lap.

love, laurie
