The Little Red House 2010

The little red house is something our girls talk about all year. Last year was our first family - I mean just us - vacation and we had a great time. We rented a little red house in the Poconos and the girls have been asking to go back ever since left. We finally made it back.

The girls are drawn to the house for four reasons.

First, is the bunk beds. They spend hours playing on them and swinging from them. It is a twin over full which accomadates all three girls. Lila and Savannah trade off on the top bunk and, boy, do they just love it up there. Adeline would prefer Lila up top and Savannah down low with her. We kind of found that funny this year as the two them went back and forth during their sleep.

First Adeline had Savannah squished up against the wall. And, well, what else is one to do when you are pinned up against a wall. Why yes. . . use your sister as a pillow!

The second reason to come to the little red house is because the Crayola Factory comes along with it. We spent an entire day there this year. The girls loved it even though I think Crayola could do a much better job considering they are the largest producer of art supplies for children. What is neat about the Factory is that there is a Canal museum affiliated with it (don't ask me how or why) and the girls get to spend lots of time working their boats down a large canal by operating various locks. They couldn't get enough. They also enjoyed the building center of the museum. Lila made an impressive tall house and Savannah made a puppet theater. Pretty creative. The other pictures are of the girls working their way through the Crayola stations, namely the Model Magic.

The third reason to come to the red house is because a huge indoor water park is less than five miles away. I didn't take the camera this year as I knew I had to take the lead while there because Daddy was suffering from a 103 fever. Not ideal but the girls didn't seem to notice that Mommy doesn't really like indoor pools.

Finally, the last reason we all go the red house is because we get to hang. This year, when not playing on the bunk beds, the girls played with a new Play Doh kit I brought along. The girls spent hours making breakfast food.

The best part of the trip is that we all spend hours in our PJ's, watch way too much TV and, best of all. . . hang out together.
