We went without Carolyn as she was home hosting a garage sale but we joined the Netzingers and friends to be part of a seven family event!  It was great to hang out with everyone, it’s been a long time since I have seen most of you.

We had a great time despite the VERY cold Saturday morning.  The kids were very good for me and everyone was a great help being that I was down a parent for the stay.  Thanks again to all, we had a blast!!!

Poor Joey was sick Easter morning so he and Carolyn stayed home to rest (he’s all better now).  Mom, Joe, Elizabeth and I joined Great Gma, Great Gpa, Shane’s family and Lisney at Pat and Mike’s house for the afternoon.

As usual we had great food and fun times watching the kids play.  The girls enjoyed some time in the John Deere and the F-150 driving around the yard while Broady was hanging out figuring out the 4-wheeler.

Spring Break 2009 – Fun times during a cold and rainy spring break

We went up to Alexandria to the Arrowwood resort to get away during spring break and have some fun in the water.  This was a first for us on many levels, first real spring break with the kids, first time for them at a water park and the first time in a hotel.

We all enjoyed water slides, swimming, lazy rivers, a big pool, hot tubs (for a short time each) and fun with their new goggles and diving rings.   I was the one doing most of the diving for the rings as both Elizabeth and Joey like to throw them for me to retrieve.  Joey started to jump in by himself and Elizabeth continues to improve her swimming skills.  They both braved the BIG water slide with Carolyn and I.  Joey shied away after I ‘ran him over’ when we hit the water 🙂 He kept saying, “Daddy, I don’t want to drool”. We think he meant drown 🙂

Carolyn and I are excited to sleep in our own bed tonight as we have been kicked to death each night sleeping with the kids.

Elizabeth asked if we can go back sometime as we were leaving today, that’s always a good sign!

Here was the view outside while we were there…

That didn’t matter because inside was warm and lots of fun!!

I have some videos to share.  Here is a good view of the main play area and the bucket that spills out every couple of minutes…

We tried to make it to Florida to see the Twins but the flights were full. With a little help from Artur and Justin (thanks guys!) we flew into Tucson and had a nice drive over to Phoenix.

The Peoria Sports complex is an awesome experience!

Thanks for joining me Grandpa, I had a great time!  Hopefully next year we can make it to Ft Meyers.

Here is a video of our view at the game

Thanks to Uncle Stan, the kids recieved a F150 PowerWheels truck for Christmas.  It’s been in the box until this weekend when I put it together.  We had a nice break from the VERY cold weather the last few weeks as it got into the 30’s and 40’s this weekend.  Elizabeth knew about the truck as I had already showed her.

Here is a video of Joey seeing it for the first time…

Here is his first time driving the truck.  Elizabeth was kind of scared of Joey’s driving so opted not to ride.  Notice once he goes forward that he gets kicked back because he put it in high gear 🙂

Thanks again Stan!  The kids love it!!
