Koops family weekend away

It was a long week last week. Everyday(at least 3 times a day) I had to answer the same question, "can we go to the hotel now?" My boys were just a little excited to spend the weekend at a hotel. And what made it all the more exciting for them is that their Koops cousins were going to be there too! Finally Friday came, and we packed up while Jason was in school, ready to leave when we picked him up. So off we went to Splash Universe in Shipshewana. What a great weekend. It was wonderful to see our family again, and to spend a weekend together was fun, especially for the boys. They love spending time with their cousins, and with 10 kids all under 9 years old, it was a busy weekend. My boys were on the go, constantly. It was so much fun for me to watch them in the water, trying new things(Ryan so proud of himself), sliding down the big slides all by themselves(even Lee=), Jason going down the tube rides with Jacob(still shocked about that one), I can't believe how fast my children are growing. Thanks again for the Christmas gift Grandpa and Grandma Koops, it was a great weekend.

Koops cousins, minus Hana(sleeping) and Ryan(being crabby)

It was so hard for me to get pictures, with 3 boys on the go, you can't just walk around with your camera all the time. Here are some shots I got.

The kiddie pool was always busy!

Grandpa and Jason, Grandpa sure got his workout taking the older boys on the tube ride!

At the ice cream shop, yummy!!

Hangin with the fam

Jason and Jacob, they got along so good together, what a blessing family is

Lee asked to hold Hana, he still talks about "baby girl"

The ride home. Any other child would sleep for most of the 4 hour ride, but not my boys! Exhaustion set in for them 10 minutes before home(not kidding)
