Weekend Escapades

OK - I know it's Thursday, but I'm just getting caught up on things, and finally have a minute to recap our weekend.

Last weekend we took off and visited Chris' sister Heidi, and her family in Harbor Springs, MI.  The weekend started off well as we tried our new Nexus passes and whizzed past all the cars sitting in traffic on the bridge.  We probably saved at least two hours by using the Nexus pass.  The boys were hysterical - as we were passing all the 'parked' cars they were yelling:  "see ya suckas!!!"

As usual we had another great visit with Heidi, Robert and Robert.  Saturday we went to Thunder Falls waterpark, despite the overcast skies.  We had a great time hanging out and getting drenched (both by the water at the park, and the rain that fell from the sky!).  Aidan was a crazy man, and went down the MASSIVE speed slide, not once but four times!!

See that huge blue slide?  That's the slide!  Aidan kept asking me: "Mummy, do you want to go down the slide with me?"  To which I responded:  "Are you crazy?  No way!!"  But the little monkey just gave me his toothless grin, and climbed up the stairs to rocket down the slide.

The weather cleared up perfectly for an evening BBQ and campout.  We had some serious badminton games going on between Chris, Robert and I, and the kids got into it to and had some impressive rallies.

A campfire wouldn't be complete without s'mores:


And the boys slept in the tent with Chris and couldn't have been happier about it:

We spent Sunday visiting a park, and then we hit the beach to do some boating and tubing.  This is Aidan getting ready for his first tube ride:

Quinn screwed up his courage and went on the tube with me.  He's so funny - he was giggling the whole time, but he held on to the tube as though his life depended on it!

I love this picture of Shannon - she has a goofy expression on her face, but the lighting is just perfect:

All in all it was a great get-away, and we loved spending time with the Hagen's.  As you can tell from this picture, I think Shannon enjoyed snuggling with little Robert and Robert!
