From the moment that Will and I decided to have Brooke, I have kept a journal for her. I started one for Caleb when we decided to have him and then one for Clare. Keeping up with three journals is proving to be too complicated. I find myself writing the same adventures in each journal. This along with the fact that I never got around to making our photo book for 2011 has led to the decision to start blogging our events. I will still continue their journals to document their individual escapades and personal moments, but I will save time and blog our other adventures. So here goes nothing.
Shrek the Halls:
For our after Christmas trip we went to the Gaylord Texan for the Shrek the Halls ice event. We stayed two nights and had a fabulous time. The first night we got checked in and did the swimming thing. (I gracefully bowed out due to Clare;))
The next morning we had breakfast with Shrek, Fiona, and Puss n Boots. The meal was complete with swamp juice to drink and Ridonkulous Eggs plus a meet and great with the Characters.
Full size Gingerbread House outside of the restaurant for Breakfast.
In order to earn our Ogre ears we had to solve the world scramble. With a little help from mommy and daddy it is done.
After Breakfast it is time for the Shrek the Halls Ice exhibit. Really cool to see once. Lots of ice sculptures. Really cold. No pictures of Clare. She is hidden under my parka. No pictures of Will, he is taking them. Kids loved the ice slide.
The nativity scene out of ice was breath taking. The pictres can't do it justice.
Back to the room for a rest and then the Kung Fu Panda snow tubing! Skadoosh!
Kung Fu Panda got the best of Will.
Wonderful couple of days escaping the world and having fun as a family. We had a lot of fun and if anyone asks, we weren't tired at all. No not at all.
