A couple weeks ago, (totally not keeping up on this blog!) we had a mandatory retreat for Chris' work. Luckily they paid for us to spend the night at this great resort in San Diego and we took advantage! Abby and Chris had the little girls, and even thought it was in the 80's Abby was cold so they went in the hot tub!
The resort had 3 water slides! Charlotte acted very concerned every time they went down...
But she would get right out and head to the top again!
Charlotte decided that she was done with the pool/hot tub and sat on the chair and put her shoes on for about 15 minutes. She is determined!
We decided it was time to go back to the room and get ready for dinner so we got the kids changed out of their suits and gave them a snack while we packed up!
We had adjoining rooms with Abby and Shane, but our room wasn't ready so we went and hung out with them until it was! Charlotte was so happy just sitting on the bed with Syrus and Lilly and eating snacks!
Joe and Lisa's room wasn't ready yet either and they joined us. Joli and Syrus loved the curtains!
We finally all had our rooms and were ready for dinner! Lisa and Joe ended up with a suite with a separate living room and their own private yard! Grandma made the girls these adorable hawaiian dresses for the event! The kids were so excited to see each other again after our two weeks of leave!
Getting a group shot is always interesting!
In true fashion, all the guys decided that since it was a Hawaiian retreat, they would wear flannel shirts and hats....
Lynsie came up to the retreat and stayed with the kids so the adults could enjoy ourselves! They provided childcare but Charlotte and Lilly wouldn't last until midnight with strangers! She was amazing and had all the kids asleep by 9... we love her! We had a pretty good time, although we didn't attend any "mandatory" sessions that didn't include food... we all agree there is much less stress to sit by the pool and have cocktails!
