Jellystone

This year we took our first family vacation.  We packed up the kids and headed to Jellystone for a few days of camping and fun.

We had a great time grilling up our food and eating outside.

Claire and Oliver a great time playing together the whole trip. 

Jellystone was so fun!  They had soo much to do there!  Not only was there a spray park with water slides but there was also a beach and a pool.  And on top of that, there was all kinds of events for the kids to do.

In the evenings they had a "Hey, Hey, Hey Ride".  It was super cute.  The trailer rode around the park and sang camp songs, it was great.  Claire was so excited to see that Boo Boo was going to join us on our ride (even though she was a little let down that Yogi wasn't going).

 This was her face when I let her know that Yogi wasn't coming.

Oliver had a quick drink while we waited in line for the "Hey Ride".

Then Oliver practiced his walking.

And then finally it was time to go!  And no Oliver is not crying in this picture.  He is laughing because he LOVED Boo Boo.

He would laugh really loud and reach out for him.....

And then get shy and flirty.  It was hilarious!!!

We all had a blast on the ride!!!

One of Claire's favorite things to do was to go to the big pool to swim and have some snacks.

Oliver discovered juice boxes on our vacation.  He gets a little messy but he loves them!!

Seriously he loves them.

Oliver also discovered whole pieces of watermelon.  As you can see, he really enjoyed it.  Have I mentioned that Oliver moans the entire time that he eats?  It is hilarious!

Mmmmmm......mmmmmmmmm....mmmmm!!

Mmmmmm.....mmmmmmm....mmmmmm!!

Claire loved this trip and was so excited the whole time we were there.  She did not stop talking from the minute she woke up until the minute she went to sleep.

 One of the nights there was a Caribbean band.  It was so fun to listen to the music and dance.

My family.

Claire went up to do the limbo while Oliver and I cheered her on.

My man givin' me some smooches.

Claire loved doing the limbo.  She had a few tricks up her sleeve.

Work smart not hard.

After the limbo we walked up to get some ice cream.

Which Oliver enjoyed.

And so did Claire.

Then Claire burnt off some of that sugar by running around on the playground.

Then Daddy caved and bought Claire a Cindy Bear Doll to remember this great trip.

My boys.

On our walk back from getting ice cream Claire saw the "Hey, Hey, Hey Ride" and was NOT happy when she saw that Yogi was on this ride.  She really wanted to see him!  She just kept saying "But we only got Boo Boo"  and I couldn't have that!!

So I pushed my baby up front in that line.

And she got to meet Yogi!  I didn't get a shot of it but, he gave her a big hug and she was thrilled!

Mark even snuck Oliver over too!

On our last night, we let Claire stay up late and join us at the campfire.

 

Claire loved roasting marshmallows and watching the fire.

And of course, she just loved being with her Daddy!!

 Hands down...best family trip EVER!  We can't wait to go back next year!!!!
