This year we packed our bags and headed to Orange Lake resort. My parents and I own timeshares here and it has been a tradition since Luke was a baby. Last year we skipped it due to legal woes, but since this was to be Dania's first vacation with us, we headed there. She desperately needed to get comfortable in the water, she about grows wings and sprouts a beak when she gets near the water. I am happy to say that by the end of the week (thanks only to Nate) she was actually swimming a little bit.
It was very nice to get away and sit by the pool. All three of the boys could pretty much disappear and report back to us at intervals. Austin pretty much stayed gone taking in all the sites on the lazy river. If we were not in one of the giant 3 pool complexes we were playing miniature golf. We were there for only 5 days but that was enough, the boys are getting to the age where we need to have some activities planned. The resort is right behind Disney, but we have never coughed out the dough for the theme parks, except one year we went to Sea World because we had two free tickets. I am not a fan of theme parks. The amount of money they cost and the lines are enough to make me have a coronary, but someday I would like to go to Disney one of these days. I think we will have to wait until 2 of my children overcome their fears, otherwise it would be a huge waste of money.
My children are growing up so fast, which means so am I. It is getting harder to age gracefully. I still feel so much younger than I look and hopefully act. I am thankful for the wisdom I have gained over the years, 20-30 was a huge learning curve, but 30-40 has been more of a Plateau and I am missing my 30 yr old arms and legs. All is VANITY.

Really? Because tomorrow I turn 40. UGH.
What great pics!
I love your bathing suit by the way the print is so cute and I think you look as lovely as ever! Oscar took over swim lessons with the girls and they are both little fish. I think Dads have to teach girls to swim. The girls love to be 'rescued' by their big strong Dads and the Dads have so much patience and tenderness for their girls : ) : )
Glad that you got some family time together looks like it was a very nice time.
I love the pic with Nathan 'bringing Austin down to reality'. We all need this kind of humor to survive adolesence. Looks like Austin was taking it pretty well : )
