This past weekend we went to Salt Lake to attend a baby blessing for one of Jared's nieces. It was really nice to get out of town for a couple of days. The kids have looked forward to swimming in the hotel pool for the past week, so as soon as we checked in that is where we headed.
We haven't swam since last summer so we didn't know what to expect with the kids. Ashten was a little nervous about the water. Even with her little floaties on she still didn't want to leave the steps.
Treyson on the other hand caused us a little bit of stress. He didn't have a single fear of the water. He kept jumping in whether anyone was ready for him or not. He also didn't want anyone to hold on to him. He felt secure enough with his floaties that he wanted to just chill by himself. I was a nervous wreck, worrying about him drowning. The kids were complete opposites in the water.
The room we stayed in had two beds and we just planned on having the kids sleep together, but at the last minute we were afraid that Treyson would fall off or they would wake up too many times in the night. Instead, Jared and I each slept with one. I joked later saying that instead of doing the things that usually occurred when we stayed in a hotel, now we don't even sleep in the same bed. We had a fun weekend, but are always ready to come home.

Holton and Jace are the same way about water. Holton doesn't love it and Jace absolutely loves it to the point where I don't dare leave his side. He's crazy!
You're funny about the bed thing. Ha...why is it that hotels=boom chicka boom boom????
And lastly, you should post a prego picture.
You seriously have the cutest kids! I just want to squeeze them!
yes agreeing with Crystal....I love them.
Its always fun to go stay in hotels with little ones. My kids will often ask if we can go to a hotel..silly
I think your little girl looks so much like you in the picture of her in the pool! Super cute!
Most every night, hotel or not, we each end up sleeping with one kid. What about when #3 comes along...We are in trouble...Darn kids! I CAN NOT figure out how to sleep train them. GRRR!
So you ended up going? Sounds like it was a lot of fun. My nieces are the same way about having to swim when they stay at a hotel! Max and I usually sleep in separate beds when we got to a hotel too!
I can't wait until the outside pools warm up here. I am so excited to swim! Why didn't you show a picture of you in your cute prego swimsuit? I bet you looked fabulous.
I'm glad you guys had a fun weekend. I think it would be hard spending the night in a hotel room with kids.
Looks like you had fun, sounds familiar though, one kid and one parent in each bed...unfortunately it isn't just hotels in our case either...oh well, hopefully they will grow out of it eventually ;)
I just love to see pictures of your little family!!! Your family is beautiful! I know what you mean about worrying about Treyson in the water. Water makes me nervous when Teagan's in the bath tub!
