Hello Monday

Hello Weekend Staycation!
We picked the kids up from school Friday afternoon and instead of going home, surprised them with a little vacation. They were SO surprised and so excited! Since we have not been able to do much this last month because of Katie's surgery, and because she got clearance to go swimming again, we thought it would be fun to have a little weekend away at a local resort. 

Hello Hyatt in Huntington Beach 

We found a great deal online (thanks to my friend Megan who told us about this awesome place and how to get an awesome deal on hotwire. Thanks Megan) and drove fifteen minutes up PCH and were there! We stayed at the Hyatt Resort and Spa in Huntington Beach. I give this place five stars and we will for sure be going back!

Hello to even more fun by the pool! 

Hello to officially being those parents who can lounge by the pool and watch their children instead of being in the pool holding their children! 

Hello to three water safe kids! 

Hello to not being able to lounge very long because we get bored and breaking the rules by going down the slide on our stomachs until we got in trouble by the life guard! 

Hello gorgeous afternoon at the beach! 

After we checked out around one, the day was too gorgeous to go home, so we headed to the beach for some more fun in the sun!

This guy got to sneak away for an hour or two and go ride some waves. It was so fun to watch him.

Hello to my heart bursting with happiness seeing our Katie girl having so much fun and feeling so great. It is incredible to me what a difference a month makes! She said that this was the best day of 2013 so far!

Happy Monday!
