Mini vacation / 15 th Anniversary Celebration / Birthday Parties

My nephew Andy turned 5 yrs. old and had is birthday party at PUMP IT UP (bounce houses).  It was out of town (about 50 miles away), so we decided to make a weekend out of it because Alex and Adrien are also having there party in the same town the day after my nephews.  So day 1 we went Shopping and to Andy's birthday party and then to the hotel.  We actually had reservations at another hotel, but changed our minds after arriving.  We have always wanted to stay at this hotel.  It was kind of our Anniversary away(with kids). Pics below. . . . .

PUMP IT UP . . .  there are 2 big rooms like this and the kids had a great time.

OK. . . . . now you may ask why show this pic. . . . GOOD STORY. . . .  Nic went running to the balcony and didn't realize the door was shut and ran right into it and fell back on the floor and I think the whole hotel heard us laughing.  He kept saying over and over, I DIDN'T KNOW THERE GLASS THERE, LOOK DOES IT LOOK LIKE IT TO YOU.  Really it was hard to see the glass, we were the first ones to use this newly remodeled room, so maybe the doors are new and very clean. Sounds good reason enough, right. And I caught Malia almost running into it.  The kids want to sleep on the balcony tonight. UMM, NO.  But right now, they are sitting out there with chips and drinks having a good time.

OK. . . .  ANOTHER FUNNY STORY. . . . WELL (not really). . . . This is the elevators and we were on the 4th floor and when we first went to use the elevator, we all went to get in and Malia and Nic were not in yet when the door shut right on Malia and pinned her in between the doors.  Nic was helping her in, when he jumped back, but she got pinned.  Megan started screaming and we all had our hands full of stuff to take to the room, somehow Jason managed to drop it all and pull the door apart to get her out, and it seemed like an eternity, but was only seconds.  She was not injured or even bothered by it, but right after we got Malia out the door shut again leaving Nic out and he was screaming WAIT. . . .  well somehow Jason managed to get his hands in the door and got them pinned in and could hardly pry the doors open with his hands in them but he got Nic in who had a look of horror on his face watching his dads hands get closed in the doors.

They are looking at the elevators, talking about how this time they are gonna make sure the doors stay open. 



The pool changes colors, blue, purple, red.  Megan and Nic in the pool.  We watched them from the balcony.

This hotel was very nice and I highly recommend it, the Holiday Inn at Evansville Airport.  Tomorrow we have another big day ahead.
