Our Weekend Away

Wow!  Did I forget to post Halloween pictures?  Between all these birthdays and holidays, those may be coming in January!  :)

 

I had to post about our great weekend away!  For Christmas, we got a gift card to Key Li.me Cove from Nana and Papa.  It was the PERFECT gift for our family!  We had such a wonderful weekend away with our family!!!!!  Thank you Nana and Papa...we LOVED it!

 

Even though we got the gift for Christmas, Rob wanted to wait until Libby was old enough to be part of the fun..and I wouldn't be stuck feeding Libby all weekend.  This was really the 1st weekend I felt like we had 3 kids, instead of 2 kids and a baby.  It was such great family time!!!

 

Libby coloring at our dinner.  Key Li.me Cove is great because you can eat in bathing suits if you want!  :)

Our 3 little ladies

The girls LOVED playing at the arcade.  This picture cracked me up because they didn't realize we didn't pay for this game, so they were so excited thinking they were playing and they were cheering so loud for themselves...but it was really just the "demonstration" screen! 

Daddy teaching them how to drive!

Every hour, there is a different activity or project that you can do.  We did a few of the projects.  This was a craft to decorate your own picture frame.  Very fun!  Although, this is the part where a kid sat at the table across from us and Caitlin said "That's a FAT baby!"  Oh man...there's no way to get yourself out of that one!  KIDS!  It's like being in an elevator with my grandma all over again, she'd always say something "inappropriate" very loud, but think she was whispering..and then you'd be stuck in the elevator with that person!  :)

The girls really enjoyed the wave pool.

Caitlin made friends in every pool she was in.

New googles...very exciting!

My big little girl.  We need to get this child a whole new wardrobe, she's the only child who is actually in the correct size with her age!

My favorite picture from the weekend...it's a framer!

This girl loved the tube!

And the water too!

Caitlin finally made the water slide!

Abigail did the body slide, and then came out where she couldn't touch and had to swim.  Good thing Daddy did that with her because I'm too nervous as a mom, which we were reminded about over and over and over this weekend!

Swim!!!!!

 

In Key Li.me Cove, we were in our own little world.  And then we left, and the storms were CRAZY!  The whole drive home, we were looking for tornados, even Rob who never worries about anything.  Here's a shot of the sky from our car window:

 

And the whole time, the kids never knew about the storms because this was the inside of our car:

(Look at Libby's feet with her Bears socks on...so cute!!!!)

 

It was a great weekend!  Some of the highlights (or lowlights if you are a glass-half-empty type of person) were:

*Cookies and Milk delivered to our room

*A fun meal where all the kids ate and no one got up to use the bathroom one time (that's a mom's dream come true).

*Libby decided to party until 10pm, even though we put her to bed at 8pm

*Libby decided she only wanted to sleep in our bed, on top of me (I see this as a great thing, I'll take any time with her I can)

*Libby decided to get up at 5am, so her and I wandered the "Cove" for an hour and a half until Starbucks opened at 6:30am...again, I LOVED this one-on-one time with her so I didn't complain..and if you were wondering, they NEVER stop the Jimmy Buffett music in the hallways, even at 5am!

*Fun times at the water park

*A crazy drive home!

 

We can't wait to go back...and LOVED this gift!  Thanks Nana and Papa!
