Adams Hotel

Well, our July wasn't busy, so we decided to invite ourselves to the Adams Hotel. Our favorite place to stay! Our afternoon started with a boat ride to swim and enjoy the hot weather and sunshine. Even Jeff enjoyed the weather and water. Need I remind you that my Jeff is not a water or boat person? He was on Saturday! The kids were doing great...and we even had a couple of "potty" experiences on the boat. I must say, Lacey is raising some pretty adventurous boys. All of our fun came to a halt with Caden tried to "cut his carrot" using a large Pampered Chef knife. We all kicked into action - You have never seen adults clean up and get a boat going so fast in all of time! Luckily, Caden's mishap turned out to be a $150 band aid trip to the emergency room. We were all happy to see his smiling face when they returned from the hospital.

On Sunday...it was going to be HOT again. So we decided to venture to the Children's Museum. Our last experience at the Children's Museum (which I must admit, was our only) wasn't very good. There were lots of people, and Lucy just didn't deal well. THIS TIME, it was perfect! Lacey got us in for free with her super sneaky pass, and the had a ball. The Adams' family packed up and left early for Millie's nap, but the girls were being so good, we decided to stay. And stay. And stay. And stay. We visited exhibit after exhibit and shared many laughs. What a great day for just a spontaneous decision!



Our little explorers...

Carlie and Eli doing their best to impersonate the jelly bean painting....good job kids!


The underwater exhibit...one of Caden's favorites....



Carlie decided to attempt the "rock climbing" .. this is her and daddy before the big climb.



This is Carlie climbing the wall! There were no foot steps...she really had to "scale" the wall. I must admit, she did much better than two older boys who went before her!


In Egyptian wear... to end our trip...tired parents...tired kids....good sleep by all!
