"I had a blast!"

That's what Ella told me after our fun-filled day at Blue Harbor Resort this past Sunday.  My parents treated us to a two-day, one-night stay in a 2-bedroom condo that we shared with them.  We played at the water park all day on Sunday before we could check into our room, and then played again for most of the day after check-out on Monday.  It was the perfect amount of time for the kids.  I don't know if they could've done much more...they were exhausted!

Ella went down the big body slides all by herself.  I think she would've done it all day long!  She is definitely my dare-devil.

Ella was also thrilled to be able to sleep on the top bunk of the bunk-beds!  Nathan spent his first night in a "big boy" bed; the bottom bunk...but with the extra railing and high sides, it probably seemed like his crib.  I'm grateful that we have the space to keep them in separate bedrooms at home...I don't think anyone would get any sleep if they had to share a room!

I think one of my favorite moments of the entire trip was seeing my parents go down the tube slide together, and hearing my mom scream the entire way.  They're awesome!

And finally, I'd like to congratulate our wonderful friends, Paul and April, on the birth of their baby girl this morning at 12:00am!  They named her Jaelyn Kathryn, and she has a very proud big brother Jackson.  I've been posting over on April's blog while she's been in the hospital, if you'd like to read any more or see any other pictures.  I can't wait to hold her!
