Weekend Getaway

This past christmas we asked people to get the boys an "adventure", not a toy. Mom and Don's adventure was a trip to a hotel in Calgary. The hotel had an amazing pool, two hot tubs, two waterslides, and a snack shack...with booze! It was heavenly!!! We spent the day with Mom, Don and Don's girls. The boys probably spent about 8 hours swimming in the 24 hours we were there!!! Here are some pics of my four fav dudes during our adventure!
