Logan Getaway

Over Martin Luther King Day Kris had to be in Logan for work so we headed up with him on saturday and stayed until tuesday (he had to stay until wednesday night). It was SO much fun just to be away cozy in a little hotel (which was really nice because it was a suite at the new marriott there) with our little family with no outside distractions....well at least not for the first day and a half until Kris had to work. THere was no internet, laundry, chores, school work or any of the other distractions when we are at home so we just played and relaxed and enjoyed being together. THe girls LOVE hotels...no matter where they are. They have this little "hotel ritual"...when they get to a hotel they first check out the phones and unplug them from the wall so they can use them for pretend play, then they check out the fridge and microwave set up, then a little jumping on the beds and then check out any little nook or cranny they may have missed.
Bree joined in on the "hotel fun" this time.

We brought the wii with us and the girls had a great time singing and playing it




Bree's favorite place to hang out was the closet!




And of course the best part of the hotel....especially in the winter....is the POOL! We went swimming mutliple times each day and most of the time we had it to ourselves.


















" What am I doing wrong mom?"

Along with the two beds to sleep in, the "living area" had a pull out bed where we could have movie and popcorn night.

Bree figured out how to maneuver and stay afloat in the tube and her floaties and it was great because she would just toodle around the pool on her own, happy as can be!

Ky and Adrie played lots of games together

Adrie was really excited because she figured out how to jump in the deep end and stay straight so she could touch the bottom of the pool

The girls LOVE swimming with dad! They missed him the two days he was at work

Bree wanted to swim again the minute we were back in the room

One night we went to the yummy Firehouse pizzeria....wish there was one here! They have the best pizzookies EVER! Another night we just got Cafe RIo take out and watched a movie in the room!

It was such a nice little escape together! There is just something I love about being cozy in a hotel room with my whole family close. It was nice to spend time together....especially now that busy tax season had started for Kris!


Random side note....... Luckily after Bree's misshap with teh zhu zhu pets stuck in her hair, it didn't take long to start playing with them again. She totally thinks they are real and squeals in delight when they start tickling her feet.

What a fun little getaway! It's always nice to get away from all the distractions of life!
By the way, when did Bree start walking? I don't really know what to expect.

Oh Bree - that picture of her in the floaties nearly made me pee my pants! There is NOTHING cuter than that!

What a perfect family get away. I love the Firehouse restaurant, now I'm craving a pizzookie. And what a great idea to take the Wii. Glad you got to get away despite Kris's crazy work season.

So fun to get away! And especially with the craziness you guys will get for the next few months. We should hang out when Scot is gone. I go crazy in the house all day.

That looks SO fun! I had no idea Logan had a Marriott now!! They've come a long way since we lived there. This post really is making me want a vacation - even if it is to Logan! Good times.
