Earlier this summer, on a day when I was feeling particularly large and pregnant, I thought it might help to have something to look forward to. I found an online special for a Crystal Mountain getaway, and after looking into it, I decided this would do the trick.
So this past Sunday, the day we've been looking forward to finally came. We packed up the van and headed North.
We left early afternoon, hoping Henry would take a nap along the way. And though he did eventually fall asleep, we first had about an hour of listening to his crabbiness.
Joe's solution: eat a Mento every time Henry throws a fit. This was genius! Made the experience much for pleasant for at least the two of us.
Also along the way, we had another fun surprise. Just as we were approaching Cadillac, we came upon a familiar looking car and realized it was our good friend, Chris.
I'd know those bumper stickers anywhere.
The Harts always make everything more fun, even our family road trip!
Once we arrived, the kids hopped on their bikes, and we were off to explore.
We tried our best at the tight rope walk, but weren't too successful.
The kids even tried to help us across, but we still only made it a few steps.
Once the kids saw the water park, they were
eager to park their bikes and jump in the pool.
After working up quite an appetite, we walked over to
one of the restaurants for a bite to eat.
After dinner, we did a bit more exploring and came
across a fun playground. The kids loved the sandbox.
Closing in on bedtime, we went back to our room to wind down.
We played a quick game of Go Fish and talked about our favorite parts of the day.
Claire's favorite: The Craft Station where she made a fleece pillow.
Henry's favorite: Riding bikes and Playing in the Pool. I guess that's two favorites, but I'll let it slide.
George's favorite: Eating and Sleeping
