A few weeks ago I received an email reminding me that summer is about to end. But, have no fear, it claimed... we can still benefit from one final sizzling hot summer deal before the sunscreen is tucked away for good. Jake and I took the bait, and booked a weekend trip at a local resort that houses an indoor water park and shares parking space with a museum and aquarium.
We didn't tell the kids where we were going, and they were super excited when they woke up from their naps and realized where the car was parked.

Me and the kiddos.
Two kids both looking at the camera is overrated anyway. |

On the other side of the tank was a
pretty amazing (camera shy) octopus |

LARGE American Alligator.
Big. Really big. |

Looking at...
The bottom of this water display with her nose? Not sure. |

I went on the slides too, but we don't really need to see pictures of that. |

The trip was fun and the kids were unusually good. Jake and I ditched our diets and pigged out on pizza. So all in all, it was a great summer weekend get-away.
Rachel looks so much like your Mom in these pictures. It was so good to see you again. You are a super-hero mom!
