I scheduled a family weekend for Mother's Day. We first had a cotton candy event. This event is very small, so the kids could come. They watched the parade and got a bag full of candy. Then they each got to play carnival games, ride inflateables, eat junk and help sell cotton candy. The only purpose of this event is to make enough money to justify a fun weekend.
After the event we headed to Ashley's Home Furniture. I had scoped out a new couch set and entertainment center. I just had to get the bosses approval. It was a go. And we added 4 barstools to the purchase.
Finally, it was off to the hotel. The kids love to swim. And that is where we spent our time. They loved having Dad throw them in the air, well everyone but Courtney. Courtney made big progress at the pool. She got her eyes wet all by herself. We had to clap each time she did this.
We had our traditional dinner, Olive Garden-2 orders of chicken scampi and tons of breadsticks. The whole family eats like pigs. Justin can't get enough. But he wants to hurry and stuff it in his mouth so he can go back to swimming.
It was such a fun relaxing weekend. I have decided to make it my annual present to myself.

Looks like a lot of fun!! The only swimming we've done so far is the little pool out back. We had two days last week that were over 100 degrees and then it dropped to the 60's and 70's. Tomorrow is only supposed to be 83. Crazy, huh?
