Spring Break at the Indoor Water Park

As the title says, after relaxing some of the week and "spring cleaning" our house (but that's fun to me, of course lol) we went to an indoor water park with Jonathan, Chandra and all their 52 kids. (LOL just three) We had so much fun. We wished it was longer. Our children totally get along and we enjoy each other too, so it's a win-win situation.

It was our first "trip" in our new van since the accident, and I am in love with my van. I really had a hard time letting go of my PAID OFF previous van when you have to let go of something so suddenly that I've had for 8 years!! BUT my new van is so roomy and luxurious that I feel spoiled in it. :/ The kids were in their own world with the digital headphone things. We discovered mid-drive that they can't hear us at all in the middle of a movie with the headphones. We were testing it with certain fun things we were saying outloud LOLOL, and they would give us blank stares back, so it was evident no one could hear us. Shane and I thought that was an extra perk about the dvd system that everyone forgot to tell us about. :)

The waterpark lodge was packed due to spring break, but we didn't really wait long for slide rides or anything. I particularly had an AWESOME time because last spring break I was pregnant with little Hudson Bear so I wasn't able to go on any slides. This spring break was just so relaxing and fun. Hudson loved the wave pool and the water spouts that would intermittently come out. He would stare intently when they would disappear; and when the water would pop up, he would laugh out loud. It was so cute. I took as many pictures as I could!!

Paige had so much fun with her BFF Lexi lol. I had so much fun with my BBF Chandra, and the men have been calling each other every day. Well, that part's not true but it sounded funny.

I loved it when we would all have a meal together. It was like clockwork, and it all worked so well! We would say, "Party of 11. 7 children. 2 highchairs." No one even looked at us like we were freaks! LOL Then when we would order, the first server we had gave a grand idea of "Group 1 and Group 2" and it's perfect because Chandra and Jonathan would say, "All the redheads belong to us." and then Shane and I would say, "All the brunettes are ours." (Minus Hudson who's blonde and throws it all off, but he doesn't order off the menu yet). We'll have to figure how to throw the blonde ones in later. :)

On the way home, everyone was passed out. Julia was the funniest because the movie was on and she slept crashed with the headphones on through the whole movie. When she woke up, she said, "I was a little tired. I almost fell asleep!" We said, "Really?! Almost?!" We showed her the pictures, and she wouldn't stop cracking up at herself.
