Great Wolf Getaway.. Relax.. Ahoooooo

Fathers day weekend for the shannon's was such a blast! Sunday through tuesday was a nice slow relaxing-less ( just from how busy our boys are.. it's all good though..) The coolest thing the boys loved was after breakfest there was story time in the lobby - clocktower, and again at nighttime before bed. There was a little scene including a moose, dancing trees, funny racoon, and little boy that pop's up and down from a tree stump, ( because he's scared of the wolf sounds..) and then the sweet lady that comes out and sings, all in animation. The boys got down and danced with the trees, and then ran back when they heard the wolf sounds. At Great wolf, they do the call, when you go, " Stomp.. Stomp.. Clap.. Clap.. Ahoooo" to this day the boys have to do this each Am, and evening! We really had a blast, kids... kids.. and then MORE kids. I love kids, though I found it only a little hard when some kids were a little bratty to mine in the water park, Pushing and hitting when in line at the kiddo slide. I say it's just kids being kids, no harm no fowl. Our room was super cute, we stayed in the Kid Camp room, the boys loved their own room, including their own bunk bed & TV, though short-lived when they again came into our bed in the middle of the night. Fun times, We are hoping to go back before school starts. I am in need of a camera, So.. If you have any suggestions, These are all with my phone, and I am bummed that I did not have a better one, capturing this fun time. It's OK, I have plenty of little movies of it.. Fun Times..

School Out, Respite.. And Great Wolf LODGE!!!

So much has been going on.. I am actually sitting in our hotel room, waiting to go into the water park... So much to update, and upload, I am a little bummed as I can not find our Camera charger.. so It's up to our lame cell phones.. uggg.. Anyways.. Great Wolf lodge is Amazing!! The kids love their own little room with Bunk beds, and cute wall theme's... I am loving that We are not getting kicked at night by them.. Fun Fun... Will upload pic soon!!!

Awesomely Awesome!!

Lately, this is all I have been saying.. I LOVE my new place. Pictures to come for sure. This move, I was So excited that I hired a moving company to do it all. 9am, movers were at the old house, loaded everything with 2 hours, then drove over to Vancouver, unloading the 26ft truck in only 45min!! With recent back issues again, lifting, pushing.. anything with force.. was OUT of the question , orders from my surgeon. Move was on Tuesday, Wed Am seamed like a fog, though waking up in new surrounding was nice. Thursday, I have a high impact fitness class, in which

(I believe now) caused my recent back issues. I am not a spring chicken anymore, though I like to think I am, when in our Yoga segment, I heard my back make a awful sound, failing down immediately in pain. Friday Am, was my lovely MRI at the hospital, with lovely Blue dye in my arm. ugg.. I am too freaking young to have bone disease I thought, though I am glad this is my only illness. It's Tuesday afternoon and I am on needles waiting to my doctor to deliver the details of my MRI. I truly Do not want Surgery again, though.. I can not keep up with my boys in the amount of pain that I am in. I was a little annoyed when leaving the clinic, they wanted to send me home with a butt load of drugs, ( this will not HELP!!) I need the bones to be fixed people, not to feel loopy.

This post is pretty much a Vent post.. I am Positive, and Happy with my new experience ahead of me, I am grateful for what I have and the wonderful boys that bless me with warm hearts everyday. Thank you friends to send me emails of encouragements, and wonderful thoughts.

This Truly will be my LAST move until I build/or buy again. Moving is So So hard on kids, especially kaid.... I have a awesome treat in store for him next week.. I have re-decorated his room , ordering a wonderful Blue bunk bed! ( Hard to find..) This time I really will upload pictures, I love the space, it's a little hard to compare every house to the house in Gresham, Though this house is for sure our new special home, and we are So So blessed. Thank you to my parents, putting up with the loud, annoying US, for 5+ months.. ( wow... long..)

We live out in the country.. Well, sort of... We walk to get farm fresh eggs, the boys LOVE this!!

Also, with in walking distance is a cute dance studio, I am thinking about getting back in to dance.. I remember how great I use to feel. Life is really going great!
