I can't get over that we actually made this happen!

It is 3 minutes in the car and we're at this hacienda type place with a splash pad and kiddie pool and a big pool that is 80 degrees! We dragged 3 bags of gear for an hour, and like ALL of our outings it was a bunch of work, and there was fighting. But the kids were so thrilled. Pickle doesn't remember snow pants.  His life is running out the back door in his diaper and playing "tackle ball" with the brothers. And if Liam asked me every minute what time we could be done with snack, at least there are palm trees. And if Mr. Apples wants cry because there are no goldfish crackers well, I just look around at the other bratty kids and realize that we're not doing such a bad job.
