Kalahari Resort

We wanted to do something really special while Nana and Papa were visiting in February. We had saved some Christmas money (thanks Grandpa Dave!), so we decided to go to Kalahari Resort in Sandusky. It was snowy and freezing outside, but we were nice and toasty swimming and playing inside! This place was HUUUUGE, with pools and slides galore! We had a nice hotel room and got to explore the waterpark for two fun days.
Andrew, Nana, Logan, and Summer in the wave pool.
Nana, Logan, Andrew, and Summer riding Logan's very favorite slide, "The Dark Ride!" That's not it's real name, but that's what Logan called it (probably because most of the ride twists and turns through a dark tunnel), and it stuck!
Hannah loved this slide, but hated the spray of water in the face, so she quickly learned to keep her hand up by her face. So cute!


Logan LOVED being in the water! We had to literally pull him out by the life jacket every time we finished a slide!In the kids play area, there's this HUGE bucket that dumps like a GAZILLION gallons of water every ten minutes. Here's Papa and Hannah BEFORE...
...aaaaaaaaaaand AFTER!
No, we didn't put Logan in time-out in the elevator. After two days at Kalahari, he had just had ENOUGH pictures!
We had such a fantastic time and made so many fun memories with Nana and Papa! Thanks for coming with us! We love you and miss you!

Disney On Ice

On Saturday, we went to see Disney On Ice at the Q. We got a babysitter for Hannah (thanks Hadley!) and Bryan was on call, so it was just me and my boys! Aren't we cute?Throughout the show, the Disney gang celebrated different holidays. My favorite was Halloween, when all the villains came out!Spooky!

The princesses danced with their princes for Valentine's Day. I took this picture just a split second too late - you can only see the smoke where the fireworks were.We had awesome seats, right on the floor, but I still didn't get many good pictures. For some reason, the characters wouldn't hold still for me! ;)
The Toy Story gang showed up for Christmas. That was Andrew's favorite part.

The finale was really fun with lights, pyro, and even snow!

We all had lots of fun. It's nice to get to go out and spend some time with just my boys. Andrew took advantage of the situation and convinced me to buy them popcorn and soda because, "this is a special occasion," and "we don't get to do things like this with you very often." He's getting too smart.
