Our Family Trip : Part Three

Day Three
Shannon and Anna came to our hotel on Sunday morning to play for a little while before we headed off to Recess, Go Bananas! another super fun place for our toddlers! This place was so wild and crazy, Isaiah had a BLAST! It was kind of like a gigantic Chuck E Cheese will 15 blow up jumpy things and 4 playgrounds.
Isaiah literally RAN AROUND the entire place not sure what to do with himself. Thank goodness Shannon was there to help me out! She watched Levi a lot of the time so that I could run with Isaiah (Anna, who just turned one in September, wasn't quite ready to do all the stuff Isaiah was wanting to do!)

First we played in the 1-5 year old jungle gym.

Levi broke the rules and played too.

Then Isaiah and Anna rode the train...

Isaiah decided he wanted to go down this enormous blow up slide (it was probably 15 feet tall!). I wasn't sure if he should but there were kids younger than him doing it, so I said why not. He got to the top step (which were too small for me to go up) and turned around wanting to come back down--yikes! I said no, you have to keep going, or he would have fallen straight down on me! So he went down and had so much fun he did it again! But twice was enough for him--he decided not to do it again!

They rode the Airplanes...well Anna got on and decided she didn't want to.


Then Isaiah decided to climb through the gigantic blow up caterpillar...he got about 3/4 of the way through and some older kids went past him and he got scared...and I had to go in to rescue him! He was crying, "mama, mama" it was sad, but he was just fine.

The kids got tired (and so did the mommies) and so we headed back to the hotel for lunch and nap time. Shannon brought peanut butter sandwiches and soup for us to eat (Thank you!) and the kids had fun eating together (and making a mess of the hotel room floor for the 3rd time that weekend!)... and Shannon and Anna headed home...and Isaiah laid down for a good nap (this time he actually slept!) and I got the room all packed up.

Mark got done about 2:30 and made it back to the hotel and we finished packing up the car. The hotel was nice enough to let us check out after 3 (thank goodness!) and we then headed to Jordan Creak Mall to shop a little while before heading home.

We had a really nice time. Isaiah slept REALLY WELL in the pack and play both nights--I was a little worried about that since he would be in the same room as us. Levi enjoyed his first nights staying in a hotel (of course in bed right next to me). It was a fun family trip--the first one we've had just the four of us.
