More Vacation Pictures

On Wednesday evening we decided to take a walk along the water's edge and didn't get very far before Andrew insisted (and I use that word with all of it's force) that we stop to see the "wawer". He really wanted to get in, but we convinced him to just sit and throw the rocks ....Daddy joined him.

After a lot of fit throwing, we drug him away from the water to the little park area. I really wanted a family picture of us, but as you can see in the picture below, Andrew was not cooperating.
Yesterday (Thursday) we spent some more time at the pool.
We finally got a decent picture with all of us in it. It's kind of blurry, but trust me, I'll take it. Overall our vacation was great! We're back home now, refreshed and ready to get back into our routine.

It Had to Be You and The Worst Aquarium Ever- Day 2

Tuesday was our anniversary. 8 wonderful years. Our song is "It had to be you." But think Harry Connick, Jr./When Harry Met Sally. Not Darla/A League of Their Own. So, here was our day.















Our day started off by the pool. It was a very family friendly pool and Andrew was much more adventurous than we anticipated. Maybe I should look up some how to's for swimming on the internet.
















After the pool was nap time. After nap time is was time to venture out to Hot Springs for our anniversary. We also tried to find something that Andrew would enjoy as well. We found a listing for the National Park Aquarium. We've always wanted to take Andrew to one. Sounded good...
















The next 2 pictures are taken from just inside the entrance.



























That's the whole thing. Best $12.10 I ever spent...or not.














Afterwards, we journeyed up the mountain to take a picture of Hot Springs.















We finished our evening with a night out at Outback. Fun times!

Our First Family Vacation-Day One

Well, we are officially on vacation!! We got here around 4:30 and are really enjoying everything so far. This lake is beautiful!!
This is the view from our room. The first thing Andrew said when we got here was "water", which means "I want to go swimming!"

Tomorrow we plan on heading to the pool in the late morning and then tomorrow afternoon we're going to drive to Hot Springs....it's only 20 minutes away. Tomorrow is our 8th anniversary!! Yay!
See Michelle, I told you I would blog again!! :)
