happiest wannabe walker
this week was chillier but still nice (40s and 30s).
Friday, we headed to Wausau. Grandpa Peter gave us a gift certificate for the hotel + waterpark down there that had to be used by the end of march. so we picked the Friday of Jodi's spring break (which was also mom's birthday) so that Shane, Jodi & Luke could come with us. mom came too! also, our friends Derek, Sarah and their 2 boys: Chapman & Channing, live about 7 miles from the hotel so they came over too.
Friday we got to the Wausau about 11, dropped the dog off with grandpa peter and made it to the hotel about 1230. we checked in early, had lunch in the room, and went down to the water park. first thing when we got in the place, Trevor and I were checking out some of the fountains when we got a huge blast of water fall on us. it was all down hill from there for trevor. he was so cold (and we also found out later, tired) and so he was just not happy in the water. he spent most of the time curled up in towels on our laps. eventually, I took him up to the room to nurse and try to nap; well, he was super tired because he fell asleep nursing (which he never does anymore) and slept for an hour & a half.
mom came up after a bit; we played cards and then I went back down to the waterpark for a bit before supper. we tried out the hot tub and the water slides! the water slides were great! they were ride on tube ones and we all went down them with different people and in double and single tubes. these water slides were too big for the babes, but there was a smaller one in the kids area that we took the boys down.
Friday night we went to "the bar" for supper and it was way better than we expected! mom got free drinks all night for her birthday, and for the first 2 hours, the boys (shane & Al) got 2 for 1 drinks. Jodi and I had to take the little boys back to the hotel about 7 because they were getting fussy & bedtime. Sarah, Derek and Channing showed up right as we were leaving so they hung out with mom and the boys for a while. apparently, they really whooped it up! :) tried to buy beer for the room at a grocery store but were too late, then had more drinks at the hotel bar before coming back to the room (a bit drunk) around 1030.
Saturday morning after we had breakfast that we brought, in the room, we headed down to the waterpark again with every intention of not putting more than Trevor's feet in the water. well, after a little while I tried him in the swings and he loved it! i'm so glad he got a good experience in the water park after the first day. we did some more water sliding and stayed in the pool until 1030ish (check out was 11 :]). we packed up, said bye to our friends, picked up the dog, and trevor slept the whole way home.
it was a fantastic weekend away with friends! then Al had to work two 12's again sunday and Monday. :( so Trevor, Beeker and I went up to the cities on sunday. Saturday til Tuesday (maybe beyond) Trevor was whiney and drooley. I'm pretty sure it's his 1 year molars moving again, and I think they're getting close because I can feel them under his gums and see white on the sides. so I was thankful we got to go up to mom's to have some relief while al worked.
Monday, mom went in to work and Trevor and I went up to meg's house in hugo to visit. it was so good to see her and I hadn't been up there in a long time; was weird to be there without any of her kids, but we hope to get up there this summer when they're home. then Monday night we went up to mom's bowling so the ladies up there could meet him instead of just seeing his pictures. :)
then Tuesday we came back home to eau Claire only to learn that Al had to go in at 3 again so we had very limited time with him (thank goodness track practice is on spring break this week!). he gets to be done at 11 instead of 3 am tho which is good because he has an interview in the cities Wednesday morning and has to be back to work after that.... there's a bunch of first round of interviews coming in from the cities for Al so it's going to be super busy and lots of driving for him. hopefully, something comes up and one of these is right for him/us!
wearing dada's work boots :)
he's a climber; climbed on all by himself
he loves his bunny ears; wore them around for like 15 minutes.
and every time he'd pull them off, he'd want them back on.
