Oh, and a break-in
Was in bed the other night when I pulled up the cameras to just make sure the building was ok when I noticed someone looking very outta place.
Getting dressed, I went outside to catch this small woman – with this weird huge hat – taking out our vacuum.
We’d actually had two vacuums stolen in the past.
Me: Hey, can I ask why you have our vacuum?
Her: (gibberish)
Me: Not sure what any of that means. I’m gonna have to call the police.
I started to call when she took off running.
It was already midnight, and I wasn’t in the mood to give chase, so I just brought the vacuum back, made a round through the building to make sure she didn’t get into a unit, before finally crashed.
NYC always has something going on.
Barely got any sleep and the next day, we all took a trip to the Kalahari water park in Pennsylvania.
The kid was with my in-laws for Spring Break so we ended up meeting them at a Lowe’s parking lot convenient to everyone.
Soon, we arrived…
…the Firecracker got all the tix and such while I was the pack horse carrying alla the luggage.
It was ENORMOUS.
The kids had a blast.
And the food was markedly better than that at Great Wolf Lodge, the other water park we went to.
Although the kids still ate crap.
Of course.
Speaking of the Great Wolf Lodge, the main pic is actually from our trip to last time around, but the Firecracker wasn’t comfortable with letting people see her face just yet.
That, plus I didn’t get any good shots of us this time around.
Oh, like last time, we met up with the Surgeon and his family and friends there.
Everybody had a grand time.
We stayed the night…
…which meant that the kids got a second chance to play the next day before we headed home.
Me: So, what do you think, was that a nice surprise?
Him: Yes! Can we come again?
Firecracker’s kid: Yeah! Next time, we can stay for the whole weekend.
Me: Only if you’re paying, kid.
Firecracker: Yeah, this isn’t something we can do all the time.
When I was their ages, we never had the money for stuff like this.
I’m glad that I can give the kid something fun to remember.
Think that’s all any parent really wants from a trip like this – something fun to remember and an experience we didn’t get to have ourselves when we were their ages.
Location: inhaling a ton of dust in my pad
