We decided to have a small family outing this year for Lilah's 2nd birthday instead of a big party.  Great Wolf Resort in Grand Mounds (near Olympia) fit the bill just fine.  We stayed over a Monday night and since it wasn't very busy, they upgraded our basic Family Suite room into a ginormous 2 separate bedroom w/ huge living room (50" LCD), 2 bathroom Grizzly Bear Suite.  McKenna is finally tall enough to to ride down the smaller adult slides with somebody, so that was fun because Jaime and I actually got to do some waterslides as well.  The girls especially had a wonderful time and can't stop talking about it....again (we went once before about 6 months ago or so and it seems like McKenna just recently stopped asking when we were going back, now it starts all over again!)  McKenna is enjoying preschool and learning more and more everyday.  She has also been to a few friends birthday parties, one at a kids Little Gym and another at an inflatable Jump house.

I've been staying up way too late recently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on XBox LIVE and Facebooking (is that a word yet?).  If you happen to play COD MW2 on the 360, look me up gamertag "MABEADNELL".    I recently rediscovered my old photo box and have been going down memory lane.  I befriended a few people on Facebook that I haven't talked to in 20+ years from my Riverside JrHigh & Elementary School days in Billings, Montana.   I posted some old pictures of those days and all of a sudden those few friends turn into 40 or so!  It is so good to hear from old friends and see what they've been up to.  It's hard to believe that so much time has passed seemingly so quickly.

Well, it's much too late once again and I'm of to bed...until next time.
