Bounceland and lingering colds...

Yesterday went really good.  We had planned to go to Bounceland, an indoor inflatable playplace.  I was worried about Lilli's cough, as it gets worse with any exercise or exertion.  We went anyway and she did great.  We stayed about 2 hours.  She was just starting to cough when we left.  I'm not sure we would have stayed a lot longer anyway though, even if we were all feeling good.  There's only so long you can go down and through the same inflatable things.  LOL.  It was very busy since it's Spring Break and some kids are just plain rude. 

They had an inflatable area for Lauren called Candyland and she had a ball playing in there.  It had a little slide and a tunnel and several things she could climb on.  She had a nice time, even if I was hovering trying to keep the bigger kids from running her over. 

We met 2 girls from Lilli's acro class there, but Lilli really didn't play with them at all.  They all just went their own ways.

We impulsively decided that Lilli should probably spend that night with my parents, since we have plans everyday until school starts.  So we drove to their house from Bounceland and had a little visit and Lilli spent the night.

We watched Survivor and CSI last night.  I haven't watched CSI in over a year or so.  It used to be my favorite show, but I guess I got over it.  LOL.  It was ok, but definitely not a favorite anymore.  I did enjoy Survivor though.  I wish Amazing Race was still on, I like that even better.  Those are about the only things I watch on TV regularly.

So today we plan to go roller skating with SIL and cousin.  We are looking forward to it.  It's not until 3PM, so I have most of the day to straighten the house...of course, here I am, sitting on the computer.  LOL.  Ah well, I have to go start diapers in the wash, so I'll be up soon. 

Tomorrow we are planning to attend an animal auction.  I think we only plan on getting a couple laying hens, but it's so fun to see everything that comes through there. 

Chickens, guineas, geese, ducks, peacocks, turkeys, pigs, goats, sheep, cattle, and horses occasionally.  There are also misc vendors, like a flea market.  Several amish stands with various baked goods and canned items.  It's fun to just go and look around.

Sunday we have reservations at a hotel with water slides.  The problem is that Lilli isn't tall enough to ride them.  They have a 48 inch minimum.  What a crock.  She is tall enough to ride all the slides at Great Wolf Lodge and I can't imagine that these are much different.  We weren't going to stay, but even if she can't ride the slides, there is a nice kiddy area with slides for her and Lauren, and there is a pool to play in as well.  If we go to a different hotel with just a pool, then there really isn't anything for Lauren to do or play with.  We decided to go ahead and try this place.  We'll see how it goes.

Lilli was supposed to return to school on Monday, but she has an appt with an allergist so she'd have to miss half the day anyway.  We decided to just give her the whole day off and let her play before her appt.

I swear Spring Break is wearing me out.  LOL

Lance's dad went home yesterday.  He goes back today to have a 'pic' surgically inserted.  That's how they give his chemo.  I'm not sure of what happens other than that.

Have a great weekend :)
