we ARE having fun!

the trip up was great.
no one took naps in the car {not even sawyer!} like they were supposed to...
but it was still pretty great.

we are in "who knows where" PA.
sorry for anyone that is from PA...but it is DIFFERENT from what i'm used to!
"we're not in kansas anymore!" is what my brain keeps saying...

if it wasn't for the BRAND new, CLEAN sheeted, SWEET smelling hotel...i think we might be headed home...

had some fun in the pool!
{isn't it cool how those doors are open to the outside??}

and, you know. sawyer likes to crawl around right on the edge of the pool, so it's very relaxing and all for me :-)

then we ventured out for dinner.
who KNEW it would be so hard to find FOOD!
we almost ate off the shelf of walmart!
but...we found a dairy queen...that didn't have the quickest service {to be nice...} but the food was YUMMY!!! {and, we're on vacation...so we're not in a rush....but we do have a baby that hasn't slept all day...}

and we're all in 1 hotel room :-)
the 3 older ones on a pull out sleeper sofa bed all together.
this is our view from our bed...looking over at their bed...
{we just played Othello for the first time - FUN!}

and they finally fell asleep!
where is sawyer you ask??
in the closet.
just right down on the floor of the closet :-)
he opened the door and crawled out twice...but then went to sleep.
pat and i are going to do our next chapter of our book study and then go to sleep ourselves.
we are headed to idlewild park tomorrow.
and we will have fun.
i hate how easily i get stressed out...or let things annoy me.
i am using this trip to TRULY try to relax with my children...not just relax when they are sleeping or not around.
i need to learn to do that better.

Ok... I am laughing at the thought of Sawyer crawling out of the closet and you sticking him back in. We often put the pack-n-play in the closet, but picturing him crawling out and then getting shoved back in is just too funny!

Glad you are enjoying yourself! Wishing you great sleepers, happy kids and a relaxing day tomorrow! :)

Who knows where PA looks like fun!!
Clover slept in the closet during parts of our trip as well. Seems to be the place to be ;-)
Have a great time relaxing with your kiddos!

Jordan LOVES Othello...I cant stand it, I'm so bad and impatient.

And we've been known to use hotel closets for beds too!

Of course he's sleeping in your closet....all your babies have! :)

Since we live in "no where pa" just let us know if you need a pit stop on the way home. We are two miles off of exit 5 on I-81.
Looks like you're having a great time! The pool isn't very relaxing with a one year old either. McKenna thinks she can just jump in at any moment, so I pretty much have to stay in the pool the whole time just so I can catch her!
Have fun!
