whobody had an excellent vacation? (part 5)

We really had a wonderful vacation. It was the perfect amount of time away...and the kids were very good (for the most part....).  It takes a lot of preparation and planning to get ready for 4 days away with 4 kids...but it is all worth it. Cruz was a trooper...but was ready to get back to home and a routine.  The picture below was our only attempt at a family picture...  at least Jason and I look normal. ;) This is why I like to pay a professional to take our family picture....a professional who knows how to edit very well.

After the children's museum, we took a quick stroll outside to check out the boats on the lake, and see the ferris wheel...and of course, ride the carousel.  This first picture is an important one...this is the FIRST time that Keaton has ever actually ridden ON a 'horse' on a carousel (he is normally the cautious kid sitting on the bench :)   Very proud kid right there....

Lola has always been a HUGE fan of carousels....

Nash loved it too. Every time we went around he would wave at Jason & Cruz and yell "WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK DAD!!!!!"

That night we ate supper out and then came back to the hotel to swim again.  The next morning, a little more swimming and then we packed up to leave.  Nash LOVES to ride on the luggage cart....although he barely fit....

Not to shabby for 6 people for 4 nights...Good thing I have a strong husband. :)
