Traveling with 5 girls has increased not only the noise, but hotel accommodations. Most hotels will not allow over 5 people per room. Yes, we could fudge a little and sneak in a couple of girls, but then that makes for 7 people in one room with one bathroom. Not my idea of a vacation! I am also not the camping out kind of girl...not that I can't or won't do it....I would just rather have more comforts of home and more stretch room!
We have decided that when we travel it would be easier for all of us to get two rooms. Yes, it does cost more, but Mom and Dad get their rest that way and less grouchy parents=happy girls! This is our home sweet home for the next 5 days. And it is divided up...Dad with ZoraLin and Tessa in one room, Mom with Rae, Jordis and Kendalan in the other. Not saying that is how it will be the whole trip, but for the first couple of nights it has worked.
We arrived in Green Bay mid-afternoon after a stop over in Oshkosh to visit with Daddy's family. The girls were chanting "Can we go swim?" "Can we go see the water park?" So after a very quick job of unpacking things and getting reorganized...it was off to Splash!
I was thinking that because I don't tan...just burn, peel and repeat...that an indoor water park right at the hotel would be a great idea. Unfortunately I was not thinking how hot and humid an indoor pool/water park would be! If I don't sweat off a few pounds on this trip something is seriously wrong! But the girls had a blast for an hour at Splash and since it is just a short walk from our room there, I am sure that they will be spending quite a bit of time there! Guess Mom will have to break out the swimsuit that I have a hate/hate relationship with!!
We are anxiously waiting for the rest of our travel group to arrive! There were five other families who traveled with us in 2000 to China when we met RaeAnne. This was our first trip to China and first baby for each family and we have bonded so well with these families. We have had a reunion every other year since we arrived home with our beautiful girls, but life happens and this will be our first reunion in four years. We are so HAPPY to meet up with them this year again....FINALLY!!! Bring on the reminiscing!!
Tonight we were impressed that "Jimmy Johns" delivered our supper in 20 minutes and it was WONDERFUL!!!
Now bring on the sleep!!!

Yum! I love Jimmy John's. The first one was in Charleston, Illinois. The water park looks like great fun for the girls. We can't wait to see you on Monday.
