Tradition

Every year since there have been grandchildren for my mom she has taken us to a few nights in a resort here in town. The kids look forward to it every year! We had our annual in town get away this week and the kids had a great time!

My mom brought some craft supplies and the kids made masks,


Had squirt gun fights,


Did lots of swimming,


and played giant chess. Well, at least the boys kinda played. :)


We also went to the heart museum. I had no idea about it but it was really neat. They have all kinds of displays and things for the kids to learn about the heart and information about staying healthy.


These boxes were filled with different sized "hearts". When you pressed the button it would light up the heart and show you which animal that sized heart belonged to...it had a range from a humming bird to a elephant.



We were the only ones there for most of the time so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. They had an area where you could use stethoscopes which the kids thought was great, they practiced on the "dummy". :)


Even Isabelle gave it a try :)


Jake practicing CPR


It was a great few nights.

So much easier than past years for me as the kids are getting older. In years past it has always been so much work to stay at any hotel with little ones.


Thanks mom for another great memory with the kids!
