We took a mini vacation with the Blade side to Starved Rock in June. The hotel had an indoor water park with an indoor amusement park across the street. It definitely came in handy on those brutal hot days. Papa and Nana's DVD player was right up Brody's alley in helping make those long hours in the car fly by. It didn't take much time before Liv was out like a light. The drive was actually smooth with two kiddos under two. Obviously, we had the occasional hiccup here and there with Liv needing to eat and Brody wanting a different movie. But, all in all, it was a nice start to the vacation.
This was Brody's first time riding on carnival type rides. He was only tall enough for one, but he didn't seem to mind. He had the time of his life with his cousins while it spun around. He was clapping while he rode the ride because we kept on yelling, "Yay Brody." He loved every minute of it. It was too cute!
We spent an afternoon hiking on one of the trails. It was quite a sight hiking a trail with five kids under five with a stroller, a diaper bag, and the whole caboodle. Boy, were we brave (or stupid, its still up to debate). Despite the conditions, we were able to take some beautiful pictures and explore a cave and a waterfall (well it would be a waterfall if it would rain one of these days).

During all the different things we did throughout the trip, it was nice just to relax and hangout in our room before bedtime. Brody and Sissy love wrestling with their Daddy. However, the boys might get a little too rough for mommy's liking. Boys will be boys no matter how old they get.
