We had trouble deciding where we wanted to go for Leevi's 4day weekend in October...it's always a struggle to find something exciting for the kids, not too expensive, and not too far in the car! Leevi heard about Room Pot Parcs from a friend at work, so we looked into it and found one less than 45 min from our house. It was a great "Staycation" weekend with lots of family time away from the household chores that glare at us every weekend! :) The Kent family was able to join us which made it even more fun for all! We went to Ferienpark in Hambachtal and basically it was a bungaloo apartment with a kitchen and two rooms...on site and included in the fees was an indoor waterpark! We arrived Friday after school and swam Saturday, Sunday, and Monday until a late lunchtime and then spent the afternoon at putt-putt or a hike. It's always nice when we can pack our food for the weekend and not worry about eating out for every meal...we brought lots of food, games, and other comforts from home. We did dinners together with the Kents and then the adults played cards while the kids played....late nights, but lots of fun!!!! We found a great place to take Leila (a military couple who opened a dog business)...they are reasonably priced and the dogs basically have free reign of their 3 story stairwell and all day access to a big yard! We could have brought Leila with us, but she would have been a wreck locked in a new place all day alone...she had her own little vacation too! Now that we've found a place for her, we plan on doing lots of traveling during the 4 day weekends that Leevi gets each month!

Lots of fun inside and out!
Goofy girls!
German putt-putt was pretty crazy! (And it was pretty cold that afternoon!) The bottom left photo was one of the holes...basically like a Par 3!
This was Luke's first time in water other than a bath! He loved it and learned to splash...now he splashes everywhere...his bath, Leila's water! and he always wants me to pick him up and hold him to splash in the girls' bath (they love it!!)
Fun action shot of David!
A random lookout tower we found on a hike!
The hotel had a mascot named Koos (a bunny)....Kai loved him!!!
On the left is the drive there and on the right is the drive home....fun weekend!!!! It was nice to have just a quick drive home on Monday with plenty of time to get unpacked and ready for the next week!
