A little family vacation

 We really LOVE having 4 kids, but sometimes it is so fun to spend quality time with just one or two of them!  A couple of years ago, we did this with Kaine and Halle on our first family "vacation" (see this post).  So a couple of weeks ago, we took Kaine and Halle on little "vacation" again...mainly, just to a hotel for 2 nights.  It was so fun!

They were so excited to go...  (that is cracker in Halle's mouth, by the way) :)

Our first stop...their favorite.  Chuck E Cheese!  Nathan and I actually love going there, too:)  Especially since we went on a weekday--it was not crowded at all!

I was so surprised when Halle stood up at our booth and started dancing!  She does have a fun and crazy personality at times, but I think this was a first:)  She told us that she learned it from her friend Griffin...so funny!

Kaine and Halle LOVED the indoor pool!

I just love them:)

The next day we went to our favorite splash pad and ate a few snacks before changing into our swimsuits.  So we put our suits on about 5 minutes after I took this picture and just as we were coming out of the bathrooms the sky was just DARK!  That was when the big storm hit...we jumped in our van and started driving.  I was really nervous--it seriously felt like we were on the outskirts of a tornado!  We made it to Meijer and they ushered everyone in the store back to the storeroom...scary!  So bummer...we didn't get to play in our favorite splash pad:(

Out for supper that night...Halle was so cute mothering her baby during supper:)  (can you see that Halle colored blue hair on her baby?  she is so funny:) ).

The boys:)

and the girls:)

Then to McDonald's for ice cream...Kaine was climbing around zapping me with "webs" like spiderman as we waited for Nathan to bring our ice cream out:)

What a fun weekend...next time it will be fun to have Layla along as well!
