What an exciting week for our family- Monday and Tuesday were just normal days, but Wednesday afternoon, we headed up north to spend a few days at Grandview Lodge<\/a>. 4 days away, but when we packed, it felt like we were going for longer! But we had a lot of fun things planned, so we needed ice skates, helmets, sleds, winter gear, swim gear and Xander needed 9 stuffed animals, which meant that Augustus needed 9 stuffed animals, so that was almost a whole suitcase. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\". \"\"
When we arrived on Wednesday, we went out to dinner and then hurried up and changed into swim gear and headed for the pool! Grandma Debbie’s pool (and everywhere else) has been closed since March. We swam a lot at camp in July, but we were very excited to be back in the water! 
\"\"<\/p>\n

The water was SUPER warm and after a few nerves, and a few trips down the slide with mom, the boys couldn’t be stopped! I think they went down the water slide 35 times. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Being mid-week, we had the whole place to ourselves and it was fabulous! <\/p>\n

\"\"  \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\". \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"  \"\"<\/p>\n

Thursday, we had a wonderful breakfast and then were back to the pool for more swimming. 
\"\"<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
We also had lots of time to relax. <\/p>\n

\"\". <\/a><\/p>\n

Thursday afternoon, we went ice skating. 
\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\".  \"\"
There were a few tears of frustration, but both boys skated a little bit. Nate had built some skate helpers, so that made it much easier! <\/p>\n

We ate delicious food the whole time and had lots of snacks in our room too. 
\"\". \"\"
On Thursday night, we had pizza and then had some drinks (kiddie cocktails were a hit!)
\"\"<\/p>\n

On Friday, we swam again after breakfast, and then headed to the sledding hill in the afternoon. 
\"\". \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\".  \"\"
Friday night, we ate dinner in an igloo! First of all, they look absolutely magical. Inside was surprisingly pleasant- not warm, but comfortable. 
\"\". \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\". \"\"
For dessert, we had a fondue platter. It was SPECTACULAR!! I wished my stomach was bigger! 
\"\". \"\"<\/p>\n

On Saturday morning, breakfast was a buffet, and the boys ate EVERYTHING. Xander had a donut, a muffin, a cinnamon roll, eggs, sausage, and fruit. I laughed when he came back with everything, but he ate almost all of it, so I think either our full schedule made him hungry or he’s growing. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
It was a fabulous few days of fun activities, mixed with a lot of relaxing. We were totally spoiled to go mid-week so everything was quiet and mostly private. Everywhere we went, there were just one or 2 other families at the same time. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A few other photos from the week-<\/div>\n
Monday and Tuesday were regular days at school for the boys. <\/div>\n
<\/a>. <\/a><\/div>\n
On Thursday, Hudson turned 8 weeks old! 
\"\"<\/p>\n

I made some cookies 
\"\". <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
We got a rug for our living room (and then promptly covered it in toys!)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
And today the boys spent the day with Grandma Debbie. I think they were happy to be back to a normal routine. Our vacation was super fun and we had time to relax, but anytime we are out of our normal routine, it’s a little exhausting. <\/div>\n
<\/a> <\/div>\n
A regular week awaits…<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
