break to the lake.

it's spring break this week for the kiddos, so with limited funds we traveled 40 minutes to Lake Las Vegas. The Lowes Hotel has a cool slide, pools, and a beach where we could kayak and paddle boat. They were offering a "locals deal" for rooms and kids eat free. (quite a savings when you have 4 of them) everyone got a little burned, despite my sunblocking efforts. {everyone except for taylor that is, she must have some inidan ancestry somewhere in her... lucky.}

levi enjoyed his first experience with the sand and ate enough of it to fill up Newport Beach. he also had another "first" in the pool... i don't know that i have ever seen anyone enjoy water that much. he was laughing, splashing, trying to dunk his head under, and kicking his legs a million miles a second trying to swim; quite a site. chad and i were exhausted from trying to keep him alive and eventually had to pry him away from the pool.

all in all, good times were had. i love being with my little family.
