Last year during our winter break from school in February, I took the kids to Center Parcs in Port Zelande for a break from our day to day life. For our last Hoorah with my mom, we did the same thing during winter break this year. I always feel bad when Ryan doesn't join us, but he reminds me that it is a relief for him to be able to plug in really long hours without feeling guilty for not being home enough. That is his busy season mind set I guess. Here's a look at our week:
The Water Park
 |
| My mom and I took turns taking 2 kids at a time to the water park while the other person stayed home and did crafts with the other 2 kids, and also took care of Bennett. B is still in newborn mode a lot, eating & sleeping all day. |
 |
| Ready for a swim! |
Hanging out in the clubhouse
 |
| There are so many neat things to do here. |
 |
| The girls loved the bouncy houses! |
 |
| These race cars were a hit! |
Spy Kids
 |
| Kaydree and Carver took a class to learn to be spies. It was all in Dutch with other Dutch kids, but they understood pretty well and really enjoyed it. |
 |
| It's nice to see them working together! |
Hanging out at the condo
 |
| I got some fun dress-ups for Carver, Elsie, & Ava. They played when it wasn't their turn at the water park. |
 |
| I found tons of selfies on my iPad from this dude! |
 |
| I made a fire and we roasted marshmallows and made s'mores every night. They also played games and did puzzles and crafts too. |
Princesses
 |
| Elsie & Ava took a class to learn to be princesses. It was a good chance for them to use their Dutch. They absolutely LOVED it! |
Everyone had a great time and the whole week went really smoothly. I definitely could NOT have done it without my mom though. There is no way I could have watched everyone at the water park AND taken care of Bennett. I wonder what our plans will look like next February when Ryan is too busy to travel and I won't have an extra pair of hands. Hopefully Bennett will be a lot easier then.
