Ringing in 2016

Well, it's been quite a few years since we have rung in the New Year.  This year we decided to rent hotel rooms with a  couple other families and let the kids swim and have fun.  Well, after doing so, we aren't so sure we'd like to spend New Years like that again.  There were about 100 kids (not really, but probably not far off), inside of the little bitty swimming pool.  Once the kids swam for about an hour we got them talked into going up to the room.  The kids watched a movie and ate a lot of junk and the adults played games and ate a lot of junk as well.  All the kids got cranky about 11:45 so we all broke off to our separate rooms and called it a night.  Maddie was asleep before I even got my teeth brushed.  About 11:50, someone pulled the fire alarm and it got LOUD!!!!  Maddie slept thru it all.  The big kids and I got up and went out on the balcony.  The kids loved being in all the chaos.....at New Years lots of people started throwing confetti off the balconies and they thought that was great.
Shortly after midnight it got a lot quieter around there.
The next morning we got up, ate breakfast, and let the kids swim for an hour or so.
When Mike went to pull the car around, we had a little surprise.....a nice $1,000 hole in the side of our car.  Awesome way to ring in the New Year, hopefully it's not a pre-curser of what the year is going to bring.

Getting ready to hit the pool.....











Lights out!!!!
