Over Memorial Day weekend my nephew graduated from high school. Since he lives 9 hours away, we had a serious drive ahead of us. On the way there we stopped at Independence Rock. It was a much needed break and worth it.
Buddy brought about 10 million toys with him and had to have them in the hotel room with us. Good because he had something to play with, but bad because he is very possessive of his toys. Plus he knows exactly which toys he had, so we had to make sure we got every single one.

The hotel had a water park attached to it. The water was freezing in the lazy river, the kiddie pool, and the slides. They had one medium sized pool that was warmer and then a HOT tub. We had fun freezing and playing in the different areas. Buddy went back and forth between the freezing kiddie pool and the warm pool. He loved it. RB commented on how the lazy river wasn't very lazy. The water pounded you as you went under it, and oh yea it was freezing water you had to go under. I shouldn't complain though because we had plenty of laughs and still had a lot of fun. Plus at the very end of the night MJ decided to go down the slide. We were so proud of her for doing it. She was scared but went down TWICE. Yea MJ!
Ashton's graduation went well. We were all color coordinated too. The lunch after was good, and after Ash-Bear had walked the older kids went outside to play. That was good to keep them entertained.

On the way home we stopped at Martins Cove. RB had never been there and we decided this summer we will be going back! We just did the Devils Gate walk. Short but worth the sight at the end of the trail.
The snake that had RB and MJ freaked out.
MJ was supposed to help push. She is doing a great job letting daddy do all the work.
It was a great weekend, even with all of our travels. Congrats Ashton! We are very proud of your accomplishments!!
