Where have we been the last two weeks?

The first week we were in Ohio visiting with Tony's family and attending Tony's good friend's wedding. Alex had the greatest time getting to know his Nanna, Grandpa Ed, and Aunt Amy better. We all had such a good time playing games, seeing family we don't see very often, and the coolest indoor water park.

These are all the guys in the wedding party showing off their "Transformer" cuff links. For this group of guys this was probably the coolest part of the wedding.

This was the coolest water slide I have ever seen. It has been the nicknamed the toilet, and that is really how it works. To start you would slide in a tub that would get you going for speed then you continue down the tub at the top of the picture and into the big bowl. You swirl around a few times and when you slow down enough you fall through the hole a few feet to a pool below. oh it is so fun.

The Second week we met my whole family in Vail Colorado. My parents have a time share that lets us visit some great places. We had a great time visiting with my brother Todd and his family they came all the way up from Texas. The mountains are so beautiful up there, a lot of the guys went bike riding most of the days. The girls got to go out to lunch and enjoy time together and with out kids. Alex's older cousins are so wonderful I barely had to watch him at all. Vail had some of the funnest parks for the kids, a favorite was the pirate ship. The hotel also had a lot of activities for the younger children they had a really good time making bouncy balls and playing in the foam (which was just shaving cream but a big hit). We had such a good time but after all that traveling we a glad to be home.


Making the bouncy balls, this was really cool. They put some crystallized powder into a mold then put it in water for just a minute. let it dry for another minute and then you have a ball.

My wonderful parents and the beautiful view of Vail.
