Our Easter Weekend

We went to Grizzly Jack's Resort in Utica this weekend, and it was great!  We had a really nice villa with room to spread out.  Kenley got her own room, and Ray and I had an amazing Master Bedroom with a fireplace and a whirlpool tub.  I was a little nervous about this getaway, since the last time we tried to go away Kenley got sick.  But, we made up for that trip, and it was exactly what we (I)  needed.  We went to the water park on Friday and for a little bit on Saturday, went to the park,  played at the arcade and amusement park, and got some relaxing family time.  It was a nice little trip, so close to home, but really felt like a little vacation. 

                

Kenley had a blast at the waterpark.  She got her own little tube to float around the lazy river with us and I think she could have stayed in there for hours.  She also went down a little waterslide with me, and had fun in the wave pool.  In the amusement park, she was too little for most of the rides, but was able to go in the bouncy house.  One little boy was so sweet to her, and she had a blast sitting and being bounced from his jumping.  She was able to go on one ride all by herself, and I was surprised she wasn't afraid.  She was by far the youngest on it, surrounded by all 3-4 year olds.  The lady running the ride said she would stop it if Kenley was afraid, but she seemed like she had a good time spinning around in her little cart.  All in all, it was a great trip, and I think we will try to go back again someday.

Today was Easter, and we woke up to hearing a thud followed by some crying to realize that Kenley had managed to crawl out of her crib.  So, immediately Ray lowered it to the lowest setting.  Then, we were off for a family egg hunt in the yard.  We had a fun day seeing both sides of the family. I don't know exactly how it happened, but when we got home our car was filled with candy, bubbles, clothes, chalk, balls, toys, and pretty much everything else you could find in the Easter aisles. Kenley was spoiled by all of her family members, as usual.  She was very good today, and while it took her a little while to warm up to having everyone around, she was the life of the party. 

I am officially on Spring Break this week!  My plans include meeting up with my friend Ashlee and her kids, who I haven't seen since Christmas, doing some major Spring Cleaning, attempt to go running at least 3 times, get a massage, go shopping, and most importantly spend some quality time with Kenley.  I want to enjoy every day, and I hope that this week goes by slowly!
