Vacation 3 Brain cells 0

Saturday - Day 3 - My son must have known we went to bed at 2:30am because he picked this day to get up at 6:00am. We quickly pick him up so we don't wake the other people or his brother sleeping next to us. After feeding him, he decides that 3.5 hours of sleep for us is enough and he is up and wants to make a lot of noise. Jen and I decide to take turns taking him for walks down the monster hallways to keep him entertained and to allow everyone else to get some sleep. On my turn down the hallway I really wasn't expecting to see too much activity at this hour, but there was a dance competition in the area so there were a ton of little girls with glitter everywhere. I did find a place that sold Krispy Kreme doughnuts so we ended up buying a dozen for everyone when Jenny took her turn down the hall. The funny part is that when she was bringing the doughnuts back to the room, Andrew was giggling and laughing down the hall and someone commented to Jen that even at that age, he loves Krispy Kreme (maybe a call down to corporate for that story). So after everyone wakes up we have another day of waterparks and whatnot. It's actually a kinda nice day (it had been cold outside) so we ventured outside to more pools and waterparks. They had just opened the new section to the outdoor pool that morning so there was even more stuff to do outside, which was great since inside was so crowded. So another day of swimming, sunning, eating, and playing.

Sunday - Day 4 - We woke up kinda early and much to my surprise, everyone else was up also. Keith was spearheading the effort to get packed up and outta the room which surprised me. It was fun to pack everything up, separate everything in the kitchen, try and find a luggage cart, and not step on kids eating breakfast. Finding a cart is a whole story in itself, but at least we can say we found a couple. After packing up the cars and checking out, one last blast at the waterpark. It's a nice feature that you can still use the waterpark after you checkout. We all ate at a Perkins down the road and then headed for home around 3:00 or so. I was ahead of Keith, but not soon down the road he goes flying past me with Jeff soundly asleep riding shotgun. I found out later that Keith missed the exit for 69 off the toll road so he had a nice extra tour of north Indiana. The ride for us went pretty smooth where the kids slept most of the time. Andrew fussed after a while but calmed down when we stopped at toll booths to pay tolls and get tickets so we wonder if he gets car sick. Home in 3 hours. Unpack. Collapse on the couch.. I need a vacation
