We met my family (from Texas) there and stayed in a nice cabin on a nice property. They had a playground, indoor pool and activity center with a lot going on each day. The first day we were there, it was rainy and cold, but the rest of the week was beautiful! here are some highlights..
This was how we saw Wyatt most of the trip!
Max's picture of Aunt MeeMee
Cora Cora!
We went through a maze of mirrors
Everyone just standing outside not sure what to do next!
This is a Hawkeye robe I made for Max last summer. I never got around to taking a picture of him in it until this trip...he is so cute! Whenever he sees Hawkeye gear he says, "Hawkeyes! Go Hawks!"
On Monday, we took a train ride! Max was so excited!
The guy who took the kids' tickets would ask their names and then punch their initial in the ticket. He was also really nice. Told us about some things to do and just had so much knowledge of the area. We saw him later at a restaurant downtown and he recognized us. Said that the other two train rides of the day were pretty full. I'm glad we got up early. There was plenty of room on the train when we were on it!
Max and Mommy enjoyed looking out the window. We saw one deer!
After the train ride, we walked around the Landing...an outdoor mall...and grabbed some lunch.
Then, the kids met Ronzo the clown who was making all sorts of different things with balloons.
Max asked for a light saber...of course, what else?
There was an impromptu little fight there on the ped mall.
Cora got a flower...this was the best we could get of all three of them with their balloons.
We went to a fish hatchery and Max was trying to get the turtles out of the water.
We rode the ducks! Here is Max and Cora while we were enjoying our stroll around the lake.
We had to all hike down to Cora's waterfall...we took some family pictures (that are on Doug's camera) and threw some rocks.
Max and Cora like two peas in a pod!
The Wyatt-tron!
The kids LOVED the jacuzzi bath tub at the house. We turned out the lights one night and let them play with their glow sticks. It was like a mini-rave in the bathroom!
All in all, it was a good trip. As always, it went by way too fast, but we had a lot to do! Can't wait until we get to see them again. Max is always asking for Wyatt and Cora. He has a picture of them in the car. I think he talks to it sometimes on the way to school.
