Final Vacation Post... Finally!

On Monday, December 29th, we took the kids to an indoor moonbounce place. It was a large open area with several different moonbounces all different levels (there was even an area for toddlers 18 months-3 years) The first picture isn't that great, but it shows a bit of how big the place was and how tall some of the slides were in the background. The second picture is Spencer at the top of the biggest slide.

Miana loved the area for toddlers and we had a hard time getting her off when it was time to go. Spencer is a goof.

All of the kids had a great time!


On Tuesday, December 30, we took the Metro (subway train) into DC to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. It was really crowded and my pictures didn't turn out so great but here are a few...

After the museum, we ate lunch out on the back steps and then went back to the Metro.
The Metro, on the way home (Spencer was next to Danielle, we were in the first car so he was trying to see the driver through the glass)

Dave and I also celebrated our 9th anniversary that day by him leaving me at his parents house to go to a Cubscout meeting... Happy Anniversary!!
On Wednesday, December 31 we went back over to Dave's parents house for dinner and spent the night again. We celebrated the New Year at 6pm, Geneva time, in honor of Nana and Papa who are there and also so we didn't have to make the kids wait. Some of the adults stayed up until midnight to ring in the new year, most of us went to bed shortly afterwards. I guess we are getting old...
On Thursday, we just had fun together and we went home, saying goodbye to Donald and Christina who left early the next day. It was a great vacation and we were glad that our kids got to spend so much time with cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents!!!!
On Friday I found out that a friend of mine had a baby that morning (in her car, out front of the hospital!!). On Saturday, we took her other 2 kids for the day so her husband could be at the hospital with her. It was a great ending to our 2 weeks off from school.
