Spring Break 2009

Spring Break 2009. Our first official Spring Break. Since we are planning on traveling to Florida in May, we decided on a low key Spring Break outing. Using a gift certificate given to Jeff, we spent two nights at the Kalahari Water Park in Sandusky, Ohio. Giant water slides, wave pools, lazy river, indoor/outdoor hot tubs, arcades, putt putt golf -- this place had it all. Jeff convinced Carlie to ride a couple of the big slides with him, and after once - she was hooked. Lucy was too small to ride any of them, and quite honestly, I rode a couple - and they were scary! So Jeff and I took turns on the lazy river with Lucy. With her life jacket on, she would "jog" around the river while I floated on an inner tube. At one point, I lost count with 36 laps. We would go between that and the hot tub, which Lucy used as a swimming pool. The girl just doesn't have enough body fat to keep her warm! We had a great (but short!) mini-vacation, and by the end I was once again reminded why I married Jeff. At 9:30p last night, we had promised Carlie she could stay at the water park until it closed (what were we thinking??). Anyway, Lucy was spent, so Jeff and I were bickering on "who got to take Lucy up to the room." We both wanted to go! But the best daddy in the world stayed extra late with his daughter and they played in the water more. By this morning...I was watered out! Lucy must take after her Grandma Everett, because she loved the arcade best of all. Her favorite game was "Deal or No Deal" and the bowling game, during which she had a special dance she did. She is becoming quite the personality. Both girls could not have been better, and I look forward to many more trips with them both. Except Jeff informed me that in about 10 years, our girls are not allowed to wear two piece bathing suits....or visit the Kalahari. You should have seen some of those young girls .... whooo eeeee. But that is a struggle for another day.

Deal or No Deal

Bowling Good Luck Dance (sadly, I think I do something very similar when I bowl...or is it when I bowl when I have had a few drinks?)
