Spring Break Week Wrap-up

Matt had Spring Break last week and for the first time since we both were in college, we both got to be off. My district does not have spring break, so I am usually quite jealous this time of year when Mattey gets a little extra time off. However, I was able to share in the fun this year :) Mattey had a lot of baseball which took up a lot of time and limited us to staying in town, but some extra time together is better than none. We did a ton of playing at home with the normal activities of dance parties, games, books, barbies, dolls, doctor set, and coloring. We did get out a little as well, including taking Megan to the newborn clinic, going out to lunch, story time at the library, and even a little shopping. I was able to squeeze in a haircut while Matt stayed home with the girls, too. The big event though was going to the Serengeti Indoor Waterpark. Kelsey has not been swimming since her lessons ended about a month ago and we have always wanted to check this place out since it is so close to our house. It was perfect for her! She absolutely loved it as well. She was a bit under the weather with a nasty cold, but you cannot tell from the pictures as she was all smiles in the water. She took a little convincing to try things on her own. For instance, she started off having to do the little water slide by sitting on Matt's lap. Then she would go down if Matt held her hand on the way down, and ended by going down on her own.



She played some water basketball with the big kids and floated down the lazy river, too. Speaking of lazy, Megan slept the day away while big sister and Daddy splashed about. She was a peaceful little lady in her carseat.

By the end of our time there, she even went down the BIG waterslide with Matt on the tube. She liked it so much they had to go a few times. She was freezing when she got out of the water though, complete with shivers and blue lips.

We ended our family time Friday with lunch at the hotel attached to the waterpark.

While we were out shopping, we bought the movie Tangled since it was the first movie Kelsey saw in the movie theater. Needless to say, it is the new favorite in our house.
The week concluded with Nate and Diane's bachelor/bachelorette parties on Saturday. Natey had his party in town at our house with yard games, NCAA final four, and a little going out. Diane's party was in Stillwater with a trip to a winery, dinner, games, and going out as well. I unfortunately was only able to make dinner since I am nursing and not able to be away from Megan for long periods. Dinner was great, and I was able to meet a lot of Diane's friends. Since I was away from Megan for a few hours, we tried a bottle with her earlier in the week so my brother could feed her while I was gone.
She took it like a champ. It is good to know we have the option should we need it. What a week it was! I am a big fan of spring break :)
