A Gift For Me
I entered many of the giveaways during the quarterly Bloggy Giveaway. We were on our family vacation when I got the e-mail from Christine of Doodle Kids that I had won 20 notecards and 30 coordinating address labels. They just arrived the other day. They are so cute. I can’t wait to use them.

Summer Vacation
Last weekend, we took the kids on a long weekend vacation. We headed a few hours north to Grand Harbor Resort and Waterpark in Iowa. It was an indoor waterpark and was the perfect size with small children.
On Thursday, after we got into town, we went out to dinner with some friends who live in the area. Their kids are the same age as ours, so Caleb and Camden had a great time with some new friends. When we got back to our room that night, the boys and I headed down to the waterpark while Larry got Emma down to bed. We were hoping she would be asleep when we got back and that was not to be. That is what happens when we are all in the same room. It was 9:30 before the kids settled down and went to sleep.
We spent Friday morning at the waterpark and then Emma went down for her nap. During that time, the boys and I played in the arcade and walked by the Mississippi River, which was right outside our hotel.
That evening we went to dinner and spent more time at the waterpark.
On Saturday, we headed out to the Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium.
The museum was very interesting and very interactive. Larry and I liked all of the history more than the kids, but they had plenty to keep them busy.
We even toured the old steamboat. The boys had fun running all over the boat. We then headed back to the hotel and spent more time at the waterpark. Unfortunately, Emma would not fall asleep for a nap, so we all went and played in the water.
We found a local pizza place for dinner. We then headed to the Fenton Place Elevator and took a ride up the hill. It was built in the 1800’s by a businessman who lived at the top of the hill and worked at the bottom of the hill.
On Sunday, it was time to leave. We could not leave without one more waterpark experience. The boys spent the majority of the morning going down the waterslides. Emma even went down with daddy.
We had such a great vacation, we are planning on going to another indoor waterpark this winter.
