And away they go!

Our "spring break" happened early this year! Dave had a week of vacation to take before he renewed it so we decided this week would be a nice opportunity to take. We had no idea what we were going to do. My "list" seemed great...you know the ones....paint,clean,organize,etc? Well, one thing got knocked off that list...organize the garage.
We took the girls to see the "Horton hears a Who" movie. That was cute. The girls enjoyed it and laughed right along with us. Has a good message in it so if you haven't seen it,yet, it's worth it!
Last minute, we decided to go to a waterpark. I think it's called "Splash Universe". It's up in Dundee,MI. We hit the outlets first. It was about a two hour drive, so every OH I DON'T KNOW....5 MINUTES...the girls would ask if we're at "splash" yet! Nope...not yet, she said with a smile......3 trillion times! We eventually arrived and had a great time! The girls slept together and it was a trying night to say the least. Emma was argueing with Kate in her sleep to "stop it Kate", and Kate getting scared that it wasn't her room. She ended up in our bed, and I just remember her legs in my back. Fun times.
So-we headed home the next day to just wash clothes and pack,again. We called a travel agent to see if we could get some last minute deals to ANYWHERE sunny. Bad timing. Easter break upon us didn't help. IF we wanted to...we could leave out of Toledo to Orlando on friday for a $1000 a piece! Oh -sure! Chump change! Why not!? The money tree is growing in our backyard....NOT!
So-we opted for Kalahari. :)
We had been there previously but not since they added another 23,000 sq feet of FUN! It's pricey but totally worth every penny. They have this wave pool......I still feel like my body is going up and down on the waves. Kinda makes me sick thinking about it...but anyway.....
We had so much fun! The girls loved the different areas of water activities. We played basketball in the water, wave pool, Kiddie Safari land, hot tub, lazy river and all that again 5 times. Every day a wildlife reserve company brings in baby animals for people to get their picture taken with and to pet. Only 2 million dollars a shot...but it's your family so why not? Well-we didn't. We took our own pics! There was a baby kangaroo in a bag, 5 baby bear cubs, and a baby jaguar. NO it wasn't Diego's! All of these animals were between 3-6 weeks old. Can you imagine? I felt so bad for them being away from their Mommies! I kept telling Dave how awful it was....he didn't get it so I said...."Dave?,Would you want to take Emma and Kate away from me while I was nursing them for 8 hr shifts?"......uh huh-He got it then! He remembered my engorged breasts.....
ok-back on track. The girls did better last night sleeping together. At one point I woke up to Emma having a dream, and Kate was wrapped around Emma and they were embracing. It was SO precious! I wanted to get a picture but it was in the "safe" and well, I didn't want to get out of bed and get cold. SO? You would have done the same thing!!!!!!
We had a blast, reluctantly ordered the $1.5 mil pizza during lunch so we didn't have to leave and come back, and the $25 mil candy apple that had M&M's on it. Sure-it's a little pricey but again, it's worth it. We saved so much by not spending $1K a piece for airfare to Disney :)
Well, that is what we've been up to this week. We're heading to Columbus tomorrow to spend a night with our friends. It gets Dave out of my "list" :)
I'll get pictures up once I learn how to use Dave's new camera!
Happy Easter!
