Benjamin's Birthday Week-end at the Abe Martin Lodge

In the middle of Winter what better way to celebrate a birthday week-end than to pack up & head to an indoor water park! We piled into our minivan and headed down to Nashville after school let out on Friday. After we checked in to our room and took a quick tour we headed to the water park!

The next morning we slept in & enjoyed a breakfast at the Lodge's cozy restaurant and then spent the rest of the morning just hanging out & playing in the game room. Soon my sister Kari & her husband Doug arrived & we headed to the water park for round 2 of the water fun! After we played in the water for awhile we were ready for dinner!

We enjoyed Pizza King Pizza in the Lodge's large tv room & had a yummy cookie "cake" to celebrate Benjamin turning 10! Afterwards we relaxed on the couches while we watched Heidi starring Shirley Temple! Although the older kids were completely absorbed by the movie, Aiden made a new little friend and soon was begging to follow her back to the water park...so after the movie concluded it was time for water park round 3!

We stayed at the park for just under an hour or so and then we were all ready for PJ's and snacks by the fire! It was quality time together as we played games & enjoyed each others company late into the night!

The next morning after a large milk & donut breakfast we headed back home and back to our "real lives" taking many sweet Abe Martin Lodge memories with us!
