Indy Weekend - Spring Break '10

Well went spent most of our weekend in Indy spending time with our kids!  This past week has been spring break for our boys, so we thought we should try and do something fun with them.  Jerry got on Priceline and was able to get us a family suite at Stay Bride Suites, in Fishers.  This suite was really nice;  it had a full kitchen, a living room with a full-size table, a bedroom for the boys (with 2 full beds), a bathroom for the kids, a pull-out bed for Kallee, a bedroom for us and a bathroom for us.  This normally would cost around $350/night, but thanks to our dear friends at priceline, it was only $50, YEA!!!  We couldn't believe all the dishes and the extra blankets/pillows and misc. items it had in it.  Kallee thought it was SO great that she got her own bed and her own t.v. so she could watch her own cartoons and not share with the boys, ha!  There was a little sign on the counter with a bottle of Coke on it and she wanted to know what it said.  I told her it said that if you need anything (food/drinks) and you are already in your bunny slippers, call the front desk and they will bring it to you.  She said, that is so cool!  Later on she asked, "can they bring us our food now and our bunny slippers too", LOL!  When we first arrived the kids wanted to head right to the pool, so off to the pool we went.  We were the only ones in there most of time we were there, so that was GREAT!  After our pool time, we headed to Ben & Ari's an arcade type place with putt-putt golf too.  We got there early enough that there was hardly anyone there, so the kids could go from game to game without having to wait.  After pizza and playing games there, we headed to one of our favoirte stores --GOODWILL!!!  I was able to find several shirts and skirts for going to Internationals in May and Jerry was in "book Heaven" finding several books he wanted, for .99cents!  Talon found some nice casual shoes and some running shoes with spikes (@ 50% off = $2.00), something he needs for Internationals!  Keegan didn't find anything and Kallee found a pair of sunglasses and a pair of tappy shoes (tap shoes : )  She was SO thrilled to find those tappy shoes!  This morning we enjoyed a full continental breakfast at the hotel, what a great spread they had;  eggs, sausage, french toast, waffles, cereal, yogurt, fruit, bagels, muffins, toast, etc.  After breakfast we headed to the IMAX to see "How to Train Your Dragon", it was a really cute show!  It was so much fun to see the kids grabbing for the things coming at them from the screen, ha!  After that we headed to Burlington to see if we could get the kids Easter clothes and I am happy to report, we got Kallee a beautiful dress for $20, yee haw!  I wanted to get a suit for Keegan but they didn't have his size and he wasn't thrilled about it anyways, so he decided "I just wanna wear something I already have in my closet at home", so...I guess that's what we'll do.  Our day ended with a lunch/supper at Steak-N-Shake and another trip to GOODWILL : )  Thanks so much for the fun weekend babe, we really enjoyed ourselves and it was something we have needed to do for a LONG time!

Pool time!
Kallee hit the jack-pot on this game, she earned 50 tickets!
Kallee wanted to play this game really bad, but since she couldn't reach the pedals or the handlebars...she allowed her brother to help her : )
Kallee and her beloved "Tappy Shoes" as she calls them!  She watched another little girl try them on and that little girls mom said, "NO WAY, they would drive us nuts"!  Kallee ran over and tried them on after that little girl left and asked if she could get them or if they would drive us nuts, LOL!
