The Bormann's: Bishop Family Weekend

We continued our Bishop Family Weekend tradition! This marks 5 years. Every year gets better and better as the kids are able to do more and more. This year we went to Arrowwood in Alexandria. It was the perfect place, esp for our families at this stage in our life.

They had so much to do and we took in a lot of it. We arrived on Friday morning and went swimming. The outdoor pool was extremely warm so it wasn't very refreshing but it was perfect for the kids so they didn't get cold. Madelyn really took off with her swimming. She was all over the pool, swimming by herself with only a noodle. Jack is our fearless one - he was jumping and basically diving off the side!

There were kid activities throughout the weekend so they decorated cookies on Friday afternoon. We had a bonfire on Friday night - it was the perfect summer evening.

Saturday was rainy and dreary but we took advantage of the indoor water park. I had visions of how much the kids would love it…..that wasn't the case. Madelyn wasn't a fan of much except going down the slide with Auntie! I tried to take her on the lazy river and she cried the whole time. Jack enjoyed going down the slides with Daddy for a bit but then he was all done. I think they were pretty worn out from Friday so it was a lot to take in. We headed back to the condo and Bishop kept swimming.

Off to the waterpark!

There was a zip line that the kids loved! They all got in on the action, even Jack! We played mini golf - now that's an experience with 6 adults and 4 kids under 5. Thankfully it was still dreary so not many people were playing!

I didn't get a picture of Bishop zip lining….guessing he was off looking for frogs!

Madelyn & Papa
Love this picture of these two!

We ended the day going swimming in the outdoor pool again after it cleared up. The outdoor pool was definitely the hit for our family!

Having a ton of fun in the water with Bishop!

And how could I forget looking for frogs! Bishop could have looked for frogs all weekend…..no lie! He just loves it and gets so into it. It's so fun to watch! Auntie, Uncle Luke, Papa and Ryan took turns looking for frogs - even the girls got into it! I watched from the balcony :)
