It is a beautiful life! We had the best weekend! Thursday night Rob told me he wanted to take the kids to do something fun this weekend, so we decided on Tulsa. We were going to go to the zoo but opted for swimming at a hotel indoor pool and going to the aquarium. We've been to that zoo about 10 times and hadn't been to the aquarium in quite a while. So Friday afternoon we loaded up and headed that way. We pulled into Firehouse subs in FS for a sandwich before we hit the road and Cash said, "are we here?" Not quite little man :)
So 2 hours later, we arrived at our very nice, new and clean hotel. It was a Courtyard by Marriott, and it was fabulous. We got our suits on and went down for a dip. The boys just love to swim. That is probably their favorite activity to do. Camryn and I even got our suits on and got in for a bit. Then we headed up for bed. Everyone slept really well but apparently the last person to stay in that room needed up at 6:30 b/c the stupid alarm went off and we were all wide awake! Dang it!!
So we got around and headed down to eat breakfast in the lobby. It was actually pretty delicious. The kids had cereal and muffins and juice. I just had a few bites of theirs. Then at 9 the pool opened back up so the boys were right back in :)
They swam for about an hour, and then we got ready for the aquarium. It was pretty crowded but we didn't mind. We all had a blast. Camryn really likes watching the fish and the boys always have fun when we go there. But I tell ya, it ain't cheap! It was like $60 for the 5 of us to get in. It's about twice as much as getting into the zoo. I figure it's because they have that AMAZING shark tank in there. So what do you do? You pay it and go in :)
Saturday we came back home and spent the afternoon at the house playing in the trampoline and with the goats. Then that night, me, Rob and Camryn loaded back up and headed to OKC. Yep, that's right...turned right around and went back...except an hour further!
We went to watch the horse races and do some shopping on Sunday. It was an awesome time! She was such a good girl...as always! We had a great time shopping Sunday and at the races. Got home about 10 last night and were pooped!
Today we just all hung out and played around the house. I love my life and these kids and my wonderful husband. It's amazing how fulfilling it is just the 5 of us being together. No one acted out today or got in any trouble....we just had a joyous time together :)
Tonight we went to my parent's house and the boys swam there. They broke the pool in for the 2011 season! We had pizza and hung out for a while before Rob and I had to leave. That's right...we are headed to CANCUN in the morning so my wonderful parents are babysitting my kids. I tell ya...I couldn't ask for anything more in life...I mean it is a chore keeping 3 kids under 5 years old but my parents do it. This is 3 years in a row they've kept the kids while Rob and I have taken a little vacation. It's so nice for us to get to do something by ourselves once a year. And thankfully my parents will watch the kids for a few days so we get to.
Hope life is treating you well and I will be blogging soon about our trip!
