Back From Vacation

Earlier this month, we went to the Unschooler's Winter Waterpark Gathering. This was our second year attending. Just like last year, it was GREAT! We can hardly wait to get there again next year.

Again, we shared a suite with our friends, the McQueen family. We had so much fun. The kids all got along great (as did the adults), and we celebrated Rylan's 6th birthday. Oh, AND Mrs. McQueen and I got to indulge in an hour of adult time at an outdoor swim up hot tub bar in the SNOW! How cool is that?

Mr. GQ

Roughhousing

Play Area Fun

Raining balls

Gator attack! SWIM AWAY!

Best Buds

Mini Vegas, this picture does no justice to show the size of this acrade

Brayden chose to play only one machine

And won Big. See that little green line to win 1,000 tickets? He won the jackpot! It printed a receipt, not 1,000 actual tickets. He used his winnings to buy each of his best buds a bear and clothes for the bears. :)

Mr. Luck also won the resort coloring contest- an arcade gift card!

The McQueen's appetizer, isn't it pretty?

Ry's 6th Birthday!

For the talent show, the kids did "Hard Knock Life" from Annie

They all did great at body boarding! (I tried it too, and it was fun)

Obstacle course

Like last year, Rylan stayed mostly in the basketball pool

My most exciting part of the week was going to John Taylor Gatto's workshops. He's an amazing man and a great speaker.
More about him and his philosophies in another post.
