Last week we traveled to the Amana Colonies for a "mini" family vacation. This was our first since Isaac was born! We traveled Thursday to Williamsburg and spent the afternoon shopping at the Tanger Outlet Mall. We found a lot of great deals and Isaac enjoyed riding "his" tractor (Bob the builder) and "his" golf cart (a Mickey Mouse ride). He still talks about them when he sees the pictures! :) Caleb enjoyed some stroller time while we shopped.
After the outlet mall we checked into our hotel, which had a waterpark. We spent all day Friday at the hotel. Isaac really enjoyed swimming except for the big bucket that spilled water over the entire play area every so often. He is a little traumatized as daddy didn't realize it was there until it had sent water on his and Isaac's head the first night. He didn't really care to get too close after that! This was Caleb's first time in the water and he seemed to enjoy it.
After naps on Friday afternoon we played on the playground at the hotel. Isaac really enjoyed running around the castle, sliding down the big slide, and swinging on the tire swing.
I took this picture as we were walking through the parking lot on the way to the park. I thought it would be funny but it turned out to be a really cool picture of our little family! Caleb is strapped to me in the baby bjorn, you can kind of see him by my head.
I was a little worried about us all sleeping in the same room, especially since Caleb wakes up in the middle of the night to eat. However things went better than I expected. Zach ended up sleeping with Isaac and that helped Isaac to get some good sleep. Isaac did manage to fall out of bed one night but he didn't even wake up! Zach had a hard time getting him back into bed. Below is a picture of the boys Friday morning watching their cartoons on the bed.
Saturday we went to Coralville to see where my brother and his wife now live. We spent some time at the Coralville Mall and then took off for home. Sunday was spent catching up on some much needed sleep! We had a really great time and the boys did too.
