Oak Grove Lake

I was packing the kids up to go walk the lake and play at the playground when AJ called on his way home from work.  I brought him a change of clothes and we all got to enjoy the outing together.

Deep Creek Park

We went to the Deep Creek Park which is newer and has some fun equipment other playgrounds don’t.  The kids had a blast spinning on this, but what made it the most fun and hilarious to them was giving each other kisses while spinning.

Circus Day with Daddy

I took Brooke and Alex to the Ringling Bros circus for the first time this year.  Unfortunately it is also the last year for the circus.  We all had a great time though watching the acrobatics, clowns, animals and general fun of the circus.  Alex especially liked the popcorn and cotton candy.

Great Wolf Lodge

We just had a great two days at Great Wolf Lodge.  Once we got there we got right to business getting in the water and riding all the fun slides.  We ate pizza poolside when we got hungry and splashed some more in the wave pool.  Both kiddos were big enough to go on the two bigger slides by themselves this time.  The next day we had breakfast and enjoyed more fun in the water but after everyone (including parents) had a good nap they were a little fussy about getting back into their suits to go back into the water.  The reason they were upset?  They wanted to play in the water but without changing.  Naturally we had to take a picture of their ridiculous co-tantrum.  After sorting that out we played in the water before drying off to head to a local BBQ joint for dinner.  When we got back from dinner we all got showered and into our pajamas for the bubble dance party, animatronics show, and storytime.  Before we left it was snowing during breakfast which we had a treat of Dunkin Donuts.  Luckily the snow stopped as we drove home. It was a fun mini-vacation!

Big Bath Time

Tonight for fun I bathed the kids in our tub and let them play with the jets on.  They had a good time in the ‘big bath!’
