America. The Beautiful.

Day Two ... started off rough. An early wake up, followed by Eli's red crayon artwork displayed on a hotel wall, followed by my children acting like "those children" who you hear at the grocery store and just shake your head ... I was close to losing it and then ... two of my favorite little people showed up ... with their mom who is one of my dearest friends in the world!
Entertainment other than me! YES! The kids sang a rousing rendition of Jesus Loves The Little Children. J How thought it was so fun the first time through ... he requested it three more times ....
We went swimming in the "walking pool" as How called it. The pool is only 2 feet deep (at its deepest) and was toasty warm! Even Eli's "Na Na" enjoyed the fun!
It wasn't quite as warm outside as it was in the pool ... so these cute little bodies soaked up the sun while they dried off.
Running to check out the boats ... they were so tired that night ... it was beautiful!
Day Three ... America The Beautiful park. Might be my favorite park in the world. And that picture of How ... might make my top 10 fav pics of my firstborn.
Angie and the kids met us there for some park and water fun ...
Where's ELI??
I admit. I "lost" him for a minute but have no fear. Eli was found only moments later ... shading himself under the slide ... chatting up a storm with two new friends.
And then ... it was a short walk over to "THE O" ... a huge hit! Water pours out of the "O" and drifts into river like pools of water .... SO FUN!
E was cautious at first but ...
Got the hang of it in no time ...
And ... it was a good photo day ... one of my favorite pics of ME and E :)
At the end of the day, Joshua hitched a ride with the twins and it was back to the hotel for naps ... long, long, long naps!

  2. Miles thought that the picture of Eli was him and he also pointed out Tinkerbell. There you have it.

  3. So many blonde cuties! I'm tired out just from catching up on you all. Looks like a great and long vacation. Dare I ask how your jaw is doing?
