Greg's 40th - A Weekend Away!

So...Greg turned 40 last week.  I thought about having a party for him, but Greg's really not into "parties", especially a party where the focus would be on him.  He would much rather spend some quality time with his family.  Friends of ours went to Willow Valley Resort overnight, and just like that, I knew exactly what the kids and I should give to Greg for his birthday. 
Time away with us!

Here are a few pictures of our time at Willow Valley.
Greg took the boys to Willow Valley while Havyn took her nap.  Havyn and I came
over after her nap.  She was a little unsure of the big water (even though she loves
tubby time)  But she eventually warmed up and enjoyed being in the water. 
She was super cute in her swim suit!

Our boys have always loved water.  When they were two years old,
getting their first bath in a hotel in Russia, they put their heads all
the way in the water and laughed and splashed, and they've been part fish ever since.
They were SO excited about being able to swim for two days.

Then we went to the McDonald's, that is across the street, for dinner.
We gave the boys a choice and they chose McDonald's - I'm sure that it
had nothing to do with the fact that it had a play area there.  
Here are the boys taking turns shooting baskets.

Havyn got in on some basketball fun too.

Love playing with Daddy!

Havyn reading her book in the hotel room before breakfast
the next morning.  Willow Valley has a really yummy breakfast buffet.
Little Miss ate nothing....I actually can't remember if I ate much.
I was just trying to get her to eat.  I remember having coffee...

This is the only picture of me from the whole weekend, so this is all
you get folks.  Not the greatest and I can't even believe I'm posting it.  But
I can say that I was enjoying my time with my family and this is proof. 

This is the sweetest picture!  Josiah adores his baby sister, and as you can see,
she loves him a whole lot too!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!
We love you so much!!!

  2. Rebekah! I was so happy to read your comment on my blog just now. I just had to jump over here and see how you were doing. You've been on my mind recently, but I've been so busy with everything here...

    Anyway, it's good to see that things are going well for you. Glad you had a wonderful family time for Greg's birthday. I love, love, LOVE that picture of Havyn gazing adoringly into Josiah's eyes. Priceless!

    Your family is beautiful!!! :)
