Spring Break Happenings!

Well hello there!

Yes, I know, I've been SO bad about posting. Please forgive me, but just as we thought everyone was healthy again, ANNA got a VERY high fever, so back to the doctor we went AGAIN and she was diagnosed with Mono! I wasn't even aware a 6 year old could get mono, but apparently they can! It took a good week for her to feel better and we are just hoping it doesn't relapse since mono can come and go for a long time. We'll see...

Anyway, thankfully Anna started feeling better just before her Spring Break. I earned a 2 night stay at the Nickelodeon Hotel by doing Kindermusik there during their Noggin month last September. We decided use the pass this past week while I was off from Kindermusik and the kids were off from school. We had the BEST time! Here are some pictures: We took the kids to the Nick Hotel's character breakfast. We met Spongebob Squarepants, Patrick, Dora the Explorer, Diego, Little Bill (?) and Squidward.





Anna took this pictures of Will and I. I think it's good!














They have lives shows also! Here is a picture of the Dora and Boots show, and we also took the kids to the nighttime show which is run similar to the old Nickelodeon game shows like Double Dare. At the end, a kid got big time SLIMED!













We spent a TON of time at the pools. Lots of fun fountains, and slides. Anna was a little fish, Aiden a bit more cautious. They have a Nick Workshop where Anna did an art project.



































I really like this the next picture. It shows the large slide structure at the Lagoon Pool. See the big orange bucket at the top? At 4:45pm each day, anyone that wants to can stand underneath and get SLIMED! Good fun!!

















We did buy one of the hotel pics of all of us with Spongebob but I have to scan it in. We had such a great time this past week. It really felt like a vacation which we all needed DESPERATELY!!!
Now to negotiate another gig with the Nick Hotel, so we can do this again next year!

Before Spring Break but after Anna's mono fever broke, Anna had to dress up in her recital costume for pictures. I took this before we left. Doesn't she look absolutely precious???

















This weekend Will's parents are here visiting. We have kept so busy because I did a Kindermusik party today. Since it was at a park, everyone came along. I did my gig and the rest enjoyed the playground. Then this evening, Will had a video gig shooting a festival to be delivered to the local news stations. We just got back from that, and he is in the process of editing and then he is off to deliver tapes. Tomorrow should be calmer though today was fun!

I'll be back soon.
Love, Holly
