This past weekend we got together with a bunch of our friends who went to college with Dana and their families at Arrowwood Resort by Alexandria, MN.
First we stopped at Grandpa & Grandma Obergs' for a visit and so that Dana could provide some computer tech support. We went out to eat with them in Milton and then went on our way to Alexandria.
The girls were squirrely at Grandpa and Grandma's. They got a hold of my phone:
Dana and Brynn went to the water park after we got settled in on Friday night, but I stayed in our room with Clara to put her to bed. After Dana brought Brynn back, the guys got together for some drinks. At about 11:30 Clara woke up crying and I spent the next two hours trying to get her back to sleep. Daddy was surprised to walk in about 1:30 AM and hear "hi" from Clara. And then he spent the next two hours after that trying to get her to sleep. Finally she crashed in our bed just after 3:00, I think it was. And of course beat us up with her feet the rest of the short few hours we slept that night. Sometimes she seems to get out of sorts when we sleep somewhere other than home. This was one of the worst instances! We were all pretty tired the next day, as anytime Clara got loud or would start crying Friday night, it would wake Brynn up, of course. We did go to the water park in the morning for a bit. Brynn was pretty cautious of anything spraying water in her face, so that limited some of the activities for her! It was very busy (and loud) in there and I think with Clara being so tired from such little sleep, it was too much for her. She clung to me and cried about half of the time we were in there. :-( So, we came back for lunch in our room and naps for everyone.
We headed back to the water park later Saturday afternoon and Clara started to warm up to the water fun. She loves to play ball anything, so we got her going with her little purple ball.

No one had stellar experiences in the resort restaurant unfortunately, so we all loaded up and headed to Zorbaz for supper Saturday night. We were able to close our troop off in a back room where their bar/dance floor was closed which worked as a great play area for all the kids to run around.

We made a point to head out as soon as we got up and ready this morning so we could take full advantage of the awesome weather we came back home to today.
Clara was outside a bit before her nap and got *really* mad at me when she had to come in to lie down. I took her hat and sunglasses off when we got into the house and she then proceeded to try and get them back on herself. I got her downstairs to her bedroom and she lay on the floor, face down, crying. Poor muffin. She fell right asleep though and had a nice, long nap. And then we headed right back out after she woke up.
Brynn got out her basketball hoop and t-ball set. She always insists on wearing her helmet when she plays t-ball. I about fell over laughing at Clara trying to swing the bat to hit the ball.
