What a fun week! My nephews and niece were on their March Break this week and they spent it with us. We pulled the boys from school so that they could spend time with them also. They arrived on Saturday just after lunch. They unpacked, ate, Glenn took a nap (he did most of the driving), and then we were off. We trekked off to Sunday River Ski Resort in Bethel, Maine. All of the boys and Sydney got bundled up and headed for the tubbing hill. The tubbing hill is super fast, but the nice part about it is that there is a tow that brings you up the hill so you don't have to walk (and get tired). Sydney made it down one run and that was enough for her, it was way too fast for her. The rest of the crew stayed for about 3 hours. Vanessa and I watched them for an hour, then headed for Walmart with the little ones. The next day we went to Kahuna Laguna in North Conway, NH. This is an indoor waterpark with waterslides, wave pool, baby pool, and other water stuff. Unfortunately they only have public hours on Sunday, so we bit the bullet and missed church to be with the cousins. We also celebrated Jeremy's 36th birthday dinner at Delaney's- so yummy! Monday was a shopping day for the adults and the little ones, and a video game day for the big boys. Tuesday was St. Patrick's day, we went to Chutter's (it's a candy shop with the longest candy counter). Shopping again, lunch out, shopping, and a fried turkey dinner at home with the missionaries. Wednesday we headed to Portland, Maine. While in Portland we shopped, went swimming at the hotel pool, stayed over night, the boys went swimming in the morning, more shopping, Lobster dinner, the kids went shopping at ToysRUs, Chuck E Cheese break- with a birthday cake celebration for Glenn, and then to the beach to explore. The shopping was great, the lobster dinner was super duper yummy, and the beach was beautiful (but cold). Then we headed home. Friday, Jeremy went to work, and the rest of us went shopping- back to the outlets. The fam was to head back on Saturday morning, but we managed to talk them into staying one more day. So on Saturday the kids played around the house with their new Nerf guns and shot baskets on the driveway, we ate pizza and watched Twilight. And somewhere in there some crazy packing was done. On Sunday it was a sad morning with the Watkins Family leaving for home. It's only been one day and I miss all of the happy noise of the kids being around. And Calvin has already said his misses his cousins. Summer vacation better get here soon!

I am glad that you guys had so much fun. Once again, Collin is so cute. It looks like Jason was so excited that you took the picture of him with the food at the water park. HaHaHa.
The picture of Jeremy and Collin is precious.
