Weekend Away

Back on February 12th, we met our good friends The Steiner Family at Kalahari Resort in Sandusky.  We had such a fun time with them at this great resort.  I made a huge sacrifice for my boys.  ;)  The thing I looked forward to the most in this pregnancy was that I am pregnant all during the Fall, Winter and Spring.  No need for a bathing suit!  Right?  Wrong! 

Of course the big attraction at Kalahari is the indoor water park, the largest indoor water park in the US.  It. was. HUGE.   It was amazing and tons of fun.  Andrew & Carson's favorite part of the water park was the wave pool.  It would have waves for approximately 15 minutes and then those would shut off and just be calm still water for approx. 15 minutes.  There were large inter tubes to float on as well.

The boys weren't tall enough to go on some of the slides and Carson didn't really want to anyways.  Andrew did go down some of the slides with Rob, Jonah & Isaac.  He thought they were pretty fun.  The boys were at a pretty good age to enjoy this place.  They are old enough that they know they need to stay with either Chad or I and they are OK with that.  In a few years it might be a different story!

After we were done swimming on Sunday the boys enjoyed this tree top play area.  Lots of fun. 
 We ate lunch at the resort and then played a round of miniature golf.  The course was pretty dark inside and light colored clothing kind of glowed. 

He never looks at the camera!
It would have been nice to have some pictures of the boys at the water park but I didn't want to take our camera in there and then not really have a safe place for it.

Sunday morning Chad and I walked the four oldest boys, (ages 7, 6, 5, & 4) down to the water park while Rob & Sarah were packing up some things.  I looked at Chad and said "People probably think we are crazy with these 4 boys and my obviously very pregnant belly."  Chad replied "Especially since you look like you are 16!"  Ha Ha!  (he doesn't think I look that young but people have been known to think that I am much younger than I actually am.)

It was so fun to meet you guys and spend the weekend at Kalahari. We should make some kind of winter getaway an annual tradition. I love watching all of these boys. Can't wait to meet your third boy!

Sounds like lots of fun! That would be a lot of kids :) You do look young (but not 16, lol). Ever time I bought cough syrup this winter the lady at walmart would say "i think you're 18. . . .are you?" Seriously?!?!
