We drove to Tyler TX on wednesday of last week for a family getaway. The kids loved the hotel, of course..... especially the indoor pool which we used 3 times in 36 hours. The highlights were a few late nights of giggling while trying to all fall asleep in the same room, a beautiful day at the Tyler Zoo, lunch at Chuck E Cheese and a go-kart adventure. We came home exhausted but refreshed. The memories are worth the exhaustion!
I am including one of henry's wildlife pictures from the zoo. We handed the camera to him for most of the day and he had a blast taking pictures. I am including his favorite close-up of a giraffe's rear-end which is most hilarious when seen through the eyes of an almost 8 year old who is laughing so hard the camera is shaking :) There is also a picture of the kids in the sandbox at the zoo- the zoo's best feature if you ask me!! Eric and i were able to put our feet up for a while the kids made sand castles. The kids also loved the parakeet exhibit at the zoo. The each had seed sticks and at one point or another were able to get a bird to eat off of their stick.
On friday, Chuck E Cheese was Meghan's request and was made more fun thanks to a year-old gift card from Grandpa. The boys played skeeball and other video games. After lunch, we headed to a go-kart and bumper boat place just outside of Tyler which of course both the boys loved. Once we finished racing, we headed home and at least one of us feel asleep in the car on the way home. Poor girl.... that's what all that adventure, late nights and no naps can do to a 3 year old.
