Weekend Escape

A couple of weeks ago we went to visit Uncle Kent, Aunt Julie, Marla and Grandma Nola in Joplin. It was Marla's birthday, she was turning 2 years old, and we decided to make a weekend out of the visit.
We stayed in a hotel so the kids could enjoy some swimming. Check out that super cute profile and white tummy!


At first Isaiah wasn't so sure about this. There was a lot of people in the pool and so it was noisy. He clung to either Adam or I the entire time. Though by the end he started loosening up and would splash some.


Marla and Isaiah loved to jump on the bed. Isaiah says jump and thinks he is doing something even though he never actually leaves the ground.


Here they are wrestling and pretending they are asleep.



We had 2 beds in our room, so Isaiah slept in one all by himself. He thought he was pretty cool.

The birthday party was a lot of fun. Here is Isaiah enjoying some of the party food.



Julie had a great idea. Since it was an ocean/under the sea theme, she blew up a whale-shaped swimming pool, put raw macaroni, shovels, buckets, etc in the pool and let the kids go at. They loved it.






Isaiah had fun until he started tasting all the macaroni and then putting it back -- got to love my little germ-spreader. He had to be removed from the pool for a while!
Over all it was a fun weekend away!!
