What a fun weekend! The two Bauer families headed up to Green Bay on Friday after lunch for an overnight trip. We arrived at the hotel and the girls were immediately in the pool until dinner time! They thought this was the greatest place! It was fun to see them have a great time and get so excited about little things like having a TV in the same room as their bed and a pool just down stairs! After dinner at the hotel restaurant, it was back in the pool before bed. All three girls slept great all night and in the morning it was right back in the pool before breakfast! After breakfast we packed up and heading over to Bay Beach for more fun. What a great family place...all rides take 1 or 2 tickets and each ticket is 25cents! The kids all had a great time and we were blest with fantastic weather. After enjoying lunch there, we packed up and headed back home. Aubrey was asleep before we were out of the parking lot! School starts for Josh this Wednesday...I'm thankful that we were able to spend a great weekend together!
