Easter Art

This past week flew by...

Traci, my best friend, is in from Florida. She has a couple photo shoots to do. I was excited to have a running partner. The weather was so great that we were able to run over 30 miles together. Yesterday, we ran all over Muncie in our "Hoosier Hop 20 Miler!" It was a treat to do some training with her before our race next month!

Today, Lily and I have done some Easter art. I decided not to color eggs (truthfully, I just couldn't handle the dye mess today-next year though!). We did some coloring and cut-out activities I found online. She enjoyed them just the same. We also went to the library and played there for a little while this morning.

Holy Week has been a busy one. I really enjoyed Good Friday Mass. I know it sounds a little weird, but music during Lent is my second favorite church music (next to Christmas). I know it is solemn, but it is also comforting in some way. I am excited to celebrate Easter at Mass and with family tomorrow!

she placed on the eggs on the tree by herself...she was even bossy about which colors I should cut out!

Great Wolf Lodge

We just got back from a weekend trip to Great Wolf Lodge in Mason, OH. It is an awesome indoor water park about 30 minutes from my sister's house in Dayton. My parents had the idea to go. We were able to get everyone together and make a fun trip of it. Lily and Ty were troopers! Lily had no fear and loved every minute of the water. She even went down the water slides they had for kids. They had a really neat toddler play/craft room that the kids enjoyed. Stephen, Sarah, Hannah, and I sat down by the pool and played cards last night. It was nice to getaway for a little bit before going back to work. Here are some pics of our trip...

ready to go!

best buds!

we could see the roller coasters at King's Island from our balcony

here are some pictures of some of the slides and water parts

Lily LOVED going down these blue slides. After flipping and going head first the first try, she figured out how to balance her weight and went down the rest of the time like a pro! She would always get done and say "again!"

this was the HUGE fireplace in the lobby...Lily would say "big bad wolf" every time we were down here!

Friday night, at the Clock Tower, there was a little sing-a-long PJ story time for kids

Lily and Ty met the wolf and gave him a hug!

so great to spend time with all my siblings!
