The week before school started, we went for one last "hoorah." My mom had meetings in Midway and invited us to come stay too. Lynn was right in the middle of chopping hay, so the kids and I left on Tuesday with my mom and Lynn came up Wednesday night.
We stayed at the Zermatt Resort. It was incredible! I've never been to Midway before....I could live there. It is so beautiful! And the homes were awesome!
The first night we were there, we went bowling. I know, I know.....bowling? We live so far away from anything, that we don't get to do some of these "ordinary" things at home. We had a lot of fun together. It was so cute to have Kyle in those little bowling shoes!
Afterwards, we went swimming. I wish I would have taken a picture of the pool. It was indoor/outdoor - the kind you swim through a little tunnel to go outside. But the cool part was the hot tub. It had a huge, rock waterfall that flowed into the jacuzzi. It was all I could do to keep my boys in the pool and not the hot tub!
The next day we slept in (now that's a vacation!!!!) and then spent the day looking around the resort. It was so nice to just relax and not
have to do anything!
The grounds all around the resort were so pretty. The boys even saw some goats on the hill beside the resort! That made them feel more at home!
She may not look like it, but Hadley is having a good time! She's wanting to go to the pool!
They even got a ride on a carousel. Thanks Mom for taking us with you to Midway!!
That evening, my brother John, his girlfriend Kae and her cousin and sister came up to play with us. We played some miniature golf, went swimming and had pizza. It was great. We were really excited that Lynn got there too.
The next day we finished up our little trip at Seven Peaks Resort.
We all had a fun time playing in the water. Hadley had the most fun with her newfound favorite snack....licorice.
Mason took a "dive" off the rope swing. Way to go bud!!!!
Here are the boys going down the SLOWEST slide in the whole park. We were laughing so hard when they had to push with their arms just to get to the bottom of the slide!
Kyle liked this little slide too. But the water in this part was FREEZING!
My sister Nina, her husband Jon, and their little girl Maya, joined us for a while at Seven Peaks. It was so much fun!!
There was even a rare sighting.....
Lynn wearing flip-flops! Take a good, long, look...you will probably NEVER see that again!!
It was a great end to summer!
I purchased Photoshop Elements a couple months ago and have finally decided to give it an honest try. It's a lot different than My Memories Suite and takes a bit longer to do a page, but you can do some extra fun things with it. This page of Hadley is kind of corny, I know, but it was still kind of fun to do. I love that I can cut the background out of pictures. I really need to get me a pen, though, because it's really hard to do with a mouse!
This was another fun thing I tried...a clipping mask. I was able to "cut" my set of pictures out in the shape of a "4." The possibilities for this are endless!
