A Day At Kennywood

 

We recently took the kids over to Kennywood to spend the day. It is just a short drive from our home in Ohio over to this great park in PA. This was the boys second trip to Kennywood and Sweet Pea's first and everyone seemed to have their favorite rides. I love that Kennywood is geared toward family fun. Other theme parks have just a tiny kids area with only a few things for them to ride or play on. That is not the case at all in Kennywood. We spent the whole day in the kids area and only left it when we were getting ready to leave.

Family Thanksgiving in Myrtle Beach 2017

 My family was given the wonderful opportunity to spend our 2017 Thanksgiving in Myrtle Beach at the Crown Reef Resort through Vacation Myrtle Beach. With us being such a large family it is hard to find hotels and resorts that can adequately fit us all in one room. I was very pleased with our Oceanfront Suite at the Crown Reef Resort. The room was very spacious as it had a fully equipped kitchen, 2 queen beds, a sleeper sofa, a Murphy/wall bed, in room-safe and more which made it big and perfect for my big family. Our room also had a balcony that over looked the ocean where we were able to sit and watch dolphins play one day. I liked that they had protective covers on the beds to protect against bed bugs. With so many people coming in and you never know what they bring with them I liked seeing the protective covers. 

Our Trip to Hershey, PA

 

In April my family took a trip over to Hershey, PA for their Springtime In The Park Event. But when we got home I ended being hospitalized twice with complications from my pregnancy so I am just now getting to post about our trip. This was I believe was everyone's first trip over to Hershey, PA, even for my in-laws and brother-in-law who went along as well. 

Hideaway Country Inn Review

 

Recently Jake and I went on a overnight getaway to the HideAway Country Inn in Bucyrus, OH. We were very much looking forward to a nice quiet evening away from the kids. Don't get me wrong, we love our kids, but we also love to be able to enjoy just each other as well. I think it's good for all couples to be able to find some time to enjoy each other.

Escape The Winter Cold with Castaway Bay

 .

When it's cold outside and you just can't bring yourself to go outside to play what do you do for fun with your family? We play games and do puzzles but after awhile we get bored with them and start looking for something entertaining to do. I dislike cold weather and typically find myself closed in during the winter going crazy with the kids that have a bunch of stored energy. Luckily for me Ohio has some great indoor water-parks within a short driving distance from our home. So we surprised the kids with our annual weekend getaway to Castaway Bay.
