CoCo Key Water Resort




We just got back from our mini-vacation to Omaha. We stayed at the Holiday Inn that has the CoCo Key Water Resort included. We had a lot of fun! The first night of sleeping wasn't very good, but the second night went smooth. Most of the times we went to swim there weren't many people there. The one time it was really busy we took advantage of the regular pool in the hotel. We walked to the other end of the hotel and had the whole huge pool to ourselves. It was great! Madi's favorite thing was the Lazy River. She liked riding in the tubes, but mostly she liked just swimming in there. Ethan just likes to play with water. He doesn't know how to swim yet and is still a little scared of the deep water. We would highly recommend going, but I think the best time would be during the week. I guess it's pretty packed during the weekend!

Earrings


Madison got her ears pierced on 11/5/2007!!! Papa Joe was going to get his one ear done and asked Madi wanted to and she said yes. I figured that once we got there she wouldn't go through with it, but she did. She cried at first and then got over it. They have been sore the past few days, but they seem to be doing good now. We've been keeping them cleaned and turned. The earrings she picked out are really pretty pink sparkly stars. Oh, and Papa didn't cry when he got his ear pierced!

Trunk or Treat

Above our Little Mermaid and Chicken. Madison and Ethan couldn't wait to wear their costumes. They looked so cute and everyone like their costumes at the Trunk or Treat. Below is a picture of Trunk or Treat. We had a lot of fun and the kids received a ton of candy. This was the first year for Trunk or Treat at St. John's and it went over really well. There were over 60 cars that participated. Some people went all out decorating their trunks.

Pumpkin Painting







I felt bad because we didn't have time to carve our pumpkins, but the kids ended up loving painting them! They had so much fun and were so excited to use all the colors. Madi went for more girly colors while Ethan went for every color!
