Hang with me!

So...it appears I have run out of storage space on blogger!

I am in the process of possibly switching to WordPress. I'm hoping to get organized and be up and running by this weekend.

Waterpark!

I've been wanting to take Drake to an indoor waterpark for a while because I knew he would love it. Last weekend, we met my college friend, Janell in Utica at Grizzly Jack's Resort.

We got there on Friday afternoon, checked into our "villa" and then headed to the amusement park for dinner and to let Drake go on a few rides.

On Saturday morning, we grabbed some breakfast and headed for the waterpark! We stayed there for a couple hours and then went back to the room for lunch and naps.

 

 

 

After nap, we went back to the waterpark until we left for dinner and more rides at the amusement park.

 

(Yes...I was horrible getting pictures - maybe next time!)

We stayed in their villa which was 2 stories with a master bedroom (king bed and pull out couch with whirlpool tub) and a 2nd bedroom with 2 queens. Both rooms were good size, so you could have even brought an air mattress for additional people. There was a full kitchen and living area, too.  I think we will definitely do this again, but not for a while.

I was a bit over budget this week and more than I typically like out of pocket at CVS. I got a little surprise at CVS though - when I bought 2 Robitussin, I got a $3 ECB! If I would have known this, my OOP would have been a little less because I would split the transactions, but I'll have it to spend next week now. :-)

Halloween!

We had a nice Halloween - we ate an early dinner and then Drake went Trick or Treating for the first time. We just went to a few houses in our neighborhood, but he got plenty of candy.

 Our little lion!

 Our big spider!

 Ready to go!

Colin fell asleep in the Ergo which made for a rough night. Between a stuffy nose and this "accidental" nap, we were up A LOT last night!

 I was a little surprised at how quickly he caught on to actually saying "Trick or Treat". He had a great time!

 Checking out his candy. :-)
