Spring Break 2014

Landon and I had the same spring breaks this year again.  We were both off Good Friday and the whole week after Easter.  Matt also had good Friday off and took a couple days off the next week to hang out with us.  We decided on Thursday night to meet Matt's family in Columbus on Friday.  We met them at the zoo at 10:30 am and stayed until about 4:30 pm.  The zoo was really nice and we had a good time!

 After the zoo, we all headed to dinner.  Here is Keeg and I at the restaurant.

 We all stayed at a hotel Friday night and headed back home Saturday morning.  Our hotel pool was awesome…it was like a mini waterpark!

Love this pic of the boys pulling their suitcase as we left
 For the two days Matt took off, we decided to head to "Great Wolf Lodge" in Sandusky (about 40 miles away).  It is an indoor water park, but it is geared towards kids.  We had so much fun.  We checked in on Wednesday around 2pm, went to the water park, went to dinner, came back to the hotel for Story time in the lobby, spent the night, got up the next morning and went to the water park again from 9:30-1:30 until we headed home.  

Here is a pic of the water park...
Keegan at story time in the lobby…it starts at 8 pm with a little song and show, then they read the story of the "Great Wolf Lodge" and then Wiley, the Wolf, comes out to meet the kids.  The kids go in their pajamas and it was really cute…they liked it!
Keegan at story time
 The boys
 The stage….everything came to life to talk and sing (People, animals, trees, etc)
 Wiley and Landon
 The boys sitting on the big bear
 The boys liked our hotel room just as much as the water park, I think.  They had their own room, within our room that was a log cabin and had bunk beds and their own T.V….they had a blast! 

Showing me their bunk beds…Landon slept on top and Keegan on bottom (I did find Keeg on the floor at 3:30 in the morning though)
Landon was big enough to do all of the rides by himself.  He is fearless and loved everything!

Here he is, coming out to the big water slide by himself.  This water slide started inside, went outside and came back inside….Landon thought that was pretty cool!
 Keegan watching Keegan come out of the water slide
 Landon and I coming out the water slide
 Daddy and Landon after the slide
Landon going down another slide
The only pic we could get of the boys together (as you can tell Keeg is thrilled)
 Landon going across the lily pads….he was so good at this.  The lily pads moved all over the place and you had to hold on to the rope to make it across.  Landon never fell in the water :)
 Keegan going down a little slide
 Keegan playing in the water
Love this pic
 The second day Keegan got much braver and even went down slides by himself.  Here he is going down the slide for the first time by himself

Landon was such a good big brother and did such a good job helping Keegan.  Here they are going down the slide together, holding hands
Keegan looks a little nervous but they made it and he liked it
On Friday, I took the boys to playground World for a little bit and then to Avon Lake Public Library.  The library has something called "Discovery Works" that is free and a lot of fun.  Landon is big enough now to do the science experiment part of the discovery works, but Keegan wasn't allowed in that room with us so we will have to do that another time.

Here are pics of the boys playing





 We had a play date with my friend (Beth) and her daughter (Madelyn).  Keegan and Madelyn are a couple months apart.  This is the only pic I could get of them.
 We had a wonderful Spring Break that went by way too fast.  Landon has 10 more days of school and I have 27….count down to summer is on!!! :)
