Frankenmuth

For Mid-Winter break, we decided not to venture too far from home. We went to Frankenmuth and stayed at the Bavarian Inn Lodge. Our first night there, we went to dinner at Oma's (a recurring phrase we kept repeating was "OMA Goodness, service is slow! And it was! But the food was excellent). Then we took advantage of their indoor miniature golf course and huge video arcade. Here are a few photos of the kids:

Saturday, we got up and went to breakfast and then headed over to world-famous, Bronner's, a HUGE Christmas store. Seriously, you've never seen anything like it. Rows and rows of trees and ornaments and trimmings...it's awesome.

Well, Lyndsey suddenly wasn't feeling very well and had to sit down several times. Which, by the way, is SO not like her. She's my shopper and I had been looking forward to browsing Bronner's with her jumping around by my side. But it wasn't happening. Although, in between her belly aches and grimaces, I did get a few shots, including one of Lynz taking a rest:

We had planned to spend the rest of Saturday in the hotel pool(s). But, unfortunately, Lynz only got worse and when we got back to the hotel, she got sick. Poor thing ... We felt so bad for her! So she and I stayed in the hotel room while Rob and Zach went swimming for a bit. We had pizza for dinner (well, three of us did, anyway) and just hung out in the room. Not a fun way to spend a vacation, but it's all good. Gave us some nice bonding time. :-)

Sunday morning, Lynz was feeling a little better, which is a good thing because it was check-out day. Can't imagine what it would have been like if she'd still been puking. Ugh. We grabbed a bite to eat and did a little shopping. We ended up at this cool Mirror Maze, which we all enjoyed:

We finished up our trip with some fun. LOVE these...
