Spring Break/Easter

OK, what a break we have had, I think we need a break from our break! We had a super time at Great Wolf Lodge. The indoor water park was way cool, lots of rides, a wave pool, tubes, kiddie area, etc. too much to mention. Then there was the MagiQuest game throughout the whole lodge. You buy a wand and a game and go all over the hotel looking for quests in order to become a Master Magi. Austin didn't give up until he was a Master! Cameron didn't feel too great and wanted to go to bed early, which is how I knew he didn't feel good. There were crafts to do, a place for teens to go and listen to music or get on the computers and play online, guitar hero contests, etc. They really know how to cease boredom! There was always something happening at the Lodge. We also ate at the Rainforest Cafe, which was really cool. It's as if you are sitting in an actual rain forest, complete with animals and sounds! Then we came home and I had my yard sale and finally got rid of a bunch of "treasures". The next day we drove to Arkansas and stayed a few days and got to see just about everyone we wanted to see, except it was rather wet and we almost had to buy a boat to get across the river! This past Friday night, I took the boys to Medieval Times which is a dinner and tournament place where you eat with your fingers and watch the show full of knights jousting, participating in tournament activities, etc. Austin said it was way cool and wanted to have his birthday there. They announce your name for birthdays and anniversaries and they can even Knight you! Austin was knighted before, on his 4th birthday, but he didn't remember everything about the place. Cameron thought it was cool too, but was ready to go at the end. Now it's Easter and we had a good morning. Cameron kept wanting to hide the eggs (all day long, then Jake started eating them before we could find them all!) Yesterday, I took Cameron to a church Easter festival, he got his face painted, had an egg hunt, a petting zoo, boucne houses, etc. He had some fun! Jake was glad to see us back home since he spent a few days with "Grammy". As I sit here typing, the Hogs are not doing well in the NCAA tournament against UNC, horrible in fact, I can't see the game just the score popping up while the Memphis/Miss st game is on, which is a good game. Gotta run, Happy Easter!

I'm glad you said you got to see "almost" everyone you wanted.... sorry I didn't make it home to see you guys. Sounds like you all had a wonderful time. We took Maw Maw to Chris and Jo's for Easter lunch - she enjoyed it. Keep up the up-dates coming! I love reading them.

Hey, Great to hear and see you. Diana

About Me

Austin is my oldest son. He loves most sports with a ball (especially baseball and football), used to take taekwondo, used to play the piano (when forced to practice), now plays the trombone,and is a very good chess player. I could go on and on here, but needless to say, I'm pretty proud of all his accomplishments. If this is what he does now, I can't wait to see what his future holds! My younger son is Cameron. He's 4 going on 30. His life is full of admiring his older brother, trying to be just like him, but also pestering him just as Austin pesters him. Cameron loves to eat and never misses a meal. He is into trains, trucks, just about any vehicle that he can "drive" or push as fast as he can go, likes to watch Little Einsteins, Barney, Spiderman, Stuart Little, and has now joined the Harry Potter club. He is also trying to see how far he can push my buttons. I think that is a normal 4 year old thing, maybe???
