Vacation Part 1

I have always wanted to have some different things for the kids to do on our trips but usually I forget until the last minute! This time I prepared ahead of time and found some really neat things! I found this website www.momsminivan.com and got alot of my ideas off of that. Check out that web site if you get a chance. One thing that I have done with the kids before was pipe cleaners. This time it went over much better! The big kids really got into it and created these really cool glasses!! :)

Timothy needed his picture taken with his sun glasses on! Again, he is just too cute with these sunglasses on! :)

One of the ideas I got off that website was tickets for every 30 minutes or 30 miles. I gave each of my kids enough tickets for every 30 minutes of our trip. Every 30 minutes they would give me one of their tickets and then when they realized they only had 3...2...1 we would be there! This was the thing Elijah liked the most! :)

This place we stayed the first two nights had an Activity Center. Inside the activity center was a Wii room! They loved it! So when Joanna took her naps this is where my family would hang out at. The Activity Center also had a half court basketball court, air hockey, and a playground outside. Fun...Fun!!!

Timothy enjoys just having fun! He likes doing whatever everyone else is doing! Easy to please him!

Joanna and Bryan stop for a pose! Do they look alike to you?

Sarah enjoyed the swings! Can you see her laughing? :)

Elijah figured out how to do the fireman's pole and he did it over and over and over.

My sweet hubby offered to carry Joanna in our wrap while we took a hike. She loves being in that wrap! So when you see Bryan with this brown thing on that is the wrap for Joanna.

Taking a hike on the nature trail!

I love this pic of the boys! They were sticking together and checking things out!

The chapel at the conference center. I thought it was so beautiful!

Bryan and the kids! I love this bunch very much and am so thankful for each of them!! :)

Our family on the steps in front of the chapel!

There are so many pictures because I just couldn't narrow them down to a couple! We have been on vacation this week and so much enjoyed it! We left Saturday and stopped in Newport, TN for two nights. We stayed at the Baptist Conference Center and it was real nice. There was plenty for the kiddos to do and they had so much fun! This place was really beautiful!

More to come...stay tuned! :)
