October 2013: A Week with Gramma (& MEA fun...)

Last week, Michael was in Jamaica with his old church (a trip that he had committed to before he knew that we would be moving) and because of my crazy work schedule (lots of nights...unpredictable hours), my mom was so generous to come up for the week and stay with us and take care of the girls while I went to work (and a week of not paying for daycare for us!! yay!!!).

Well, as I mentioned in a previous post, Adelyn started rocking the whole going potty thing...(still going strong! Well, kinda...)

And Olivya just thinks this whole thing is hysterical...

I got some one-on-one time with Adelyn during the week too when I took her to the Gobbler Football game (they are rockin' it this year!! Go Gobblers!)

But one of the best parts of the week was when we headed to Brainerd to spend the long MEA weekend. We met my dad and Brady for a weekend at a hotel with a water park, and Adelyn was in her glort!!!

Of course, Olivya had to get in on the action too. She LOVED playing in these little water spouts...

And watching these two sisters play together in the water just melted my heart...

Adelyn's absolutely favorite part of the waterpark was the "red slide". Seriously...I went down that thing more times that I can even count (over 100 for sure!!). She mostly went down the slide by herself, and I would just sit behind her and go down, but it was a bit too far of a climb up to the top of the slide where I couldn't let her go by herself, and I couldn't run down to meet her at the bottom of the slide either each time, so I got the joy of riding the Red water slide over, and over, and over, and over again (except the couple of times that I convinced Brady to take her up and down the slide). 

And Olivya couldn't miss out on the fun...she officially got her first taste of waterslide fun this weekend and she giggled and LOVED it just as much as her sister did (fortunately, she can't say "more! more!" yet, so I didn't feel guilty not taking her on the slide over and over again).

Yep! It was a great weekend at the water park with family! Definitely something that we will be doing lots of this winter to beat those winter blues:)
