guys!! we just took our THIRD trip with these crazy kiddos their mamas we just have more more fun EVERY year!! i think it also gets easier every year because these angels get more more independent. american airlines arena miami detailed seating chart so where did we go this year?? SCHLITTERBAHN!! wahoo!! we went on a friday saturday american airlines arena miami detailed seating chart started out by heading to austin. after dropping off my wondertwins at grammy's in round rock, we headed to lakeline mall. we thought they were still young enough to have fun at the mall for the afternoon, our predictions were correct! we started american airlines arena miami detailed seating chart with lunch where 3 of our kids chose panda express, which for some reason i found comical?? you can tell our kids are growing up when they chose orange chicken lo mein over chicken nuggets :). sophie LOVES this machine at lakeline...a cotton candy machine!! she was telling everyone it cost a quarter but it actually cost EIGHT quarters so we only got 2 servings american airlines arena miami detailed seating chart let the kids split. no one looks bothered by having to share :). another attraction at lakeline is this train that goes round round the mall :). sophie i did it once while her friends were trying another attraction it was SO fun!! i think because no one else was waiting in line they drove us around the mall for what felt like forever. we giggled had a ball! before we left we let the kids pick one more thing to do it was a no-brainer for them...the TRAIN!! (and how much do i love that they want to ride the train around the mall instead of trying on skimpy clothes fighting over boys??) (and by "they" on that previous statement of course i was excluding hudson :)) after a little more drive time we arrived at our "home," the hampton inn!! oh how these kids looooove a hotel!! we initially had 1 room for the 8 of us but were quickly realizing american airlines arena miami detailed seating chart all 8 of us trying to get some sleep share 1 bathroom was maybe a little ambitious :). so kylie i left the kiddos in mandy carly's capable hands and got another room for bedtime. we ended up in a handicapped room which was HUGE to be fair, we called our friends to see if they wanted to switch. as the kids were already snuggled into sleeping bags, they declined. and if you are wondering how kylie i got so lucky to have our own room for sleeping, we rode in the car with the kids to from new braunfels while mandy carly got to ride alone :). i thought my girl looked so cute getting all settled in on the floor! and yes those are my feet standing right next to her while i took the picture ;). we woke up bright early to eat us some hampton inn breakfast!! i love a good hotel breakfast american airlines arena miami detailed seating chart it was probably the one time being gluten-free on this trip was a big bummer. sophie seriously ate SO MUCH has told me a hundred times since it was the BEST breakfast she has eaten in her life, ever! ha! time to head for schlitterbahn this was the only ( obviously not good) picture i got in the park. i was not willing to risk my camera so it got locked up in my locker :). after a day full of LOTS of waterslides, freezing cold river water, a quick rainstorm, dippin' dots, lots of sunscreen application, and too much more to name...our 4 kids were wiped out. we got into dry clothes snapped a final pic... EXCEPT...carly's car was DEAD!! merciful heavens. luckily carly had some jumper cables even luckier carly mandy knew how to USE them!! note to self--MUST get shane to teach me how to jump a car. kylie jumped up to disconnect them from my van in this pic but truth be told i was eating cheetos she playing on her phone while super-mamas carly mandy did all the work :). (love you khak :)) after a somewhat ridiculous ride home which included 2 kids telling us they were carsick 2 truck drivers holding up innappropriate signs to us, we were HOME. one funny "last pic" that cracks me up... and one "last pic" i absolutely love. these mamas and kids are among my biggest blessings. i realize i am blessed beyond measure to walk through life with these mamas and for my girl to have such precious friends to grow up with. we are so blessed to be able to take trips like this. thank you Lord for how gracious you have been to me!!
