The Homestead

Last weekend Dan had a work conference at The Homestead Resort in Midway, so we all went up with him. My sister Melissa was also nice enough to come and watch the kids while Dan and I went to the dinner. It's the first time that we'd been to the resort--it's a nice little place for a getaway and I wish that we had planned to stay another night.

Friday we got there just in time for dinner, so we didn't have a chance to look around or anything. However, we did fight Mason until about 12:30 am. For some reason he just wouldn't go to sleep. We took a pair of PJs that he hadn't worn before, and even though they are 3T, they were a little snug. He and I were both laughing just trying to get them on. Sneaking into the EL Fudge cookies probably didn't help them fit any better!

Saturday morning after breakfast, we fed the ducks and fish for a while. It was fun to see them all sworm around.

Yeah, I know I look like an idiot in this photo. I was just trying to get Mason to look at the camera and smile. She caught me with a cheesy grin. As you can see, it didn't get Mason to cooperate.

Melissa always has cute poses for the camera. She wanted me to stick out my butt for this one, but I really wanted to do the opposite.

Since we had the big stroller, Tristyn and I stayed and read the Homestead Crater sign while Dan, Mason and Melissa climbed up all the stairs to check it out.

There's cute Melissa again. Mason kept leaning out away from the stairs and wanted Dan to hold him up. It looks like he's dragging him down the stairs, but I promise he was just playing around.

Since we were all tired from not getting much sleep, we didn't swim for very long. Mason was pretty upset about that. We could hear him screaming from the gift shop when Dan was changing him in the locker room. He liked going back and forth between the 'cold' pool and the hot tub. I just enjoyed staying in the hot tub!

Dan stayed out with Tristyn, other than just dipping their toes in the warm water.

And with a pound of fudge, we were off! Although it was a quick trip, we had a good time. If you haven't been to the resort, I'd highly recommend it.
