Mini Fam Vacation in Bismarck: the Ramkota

At the beginning of the year, Brett & I made a goal to make it the Temple 6 times each before December. Well, we had only one more time to go to meet our goal for the year- so we decided to take the fam on a mini-vacation before the Winter hits. We invited the Larsen fam to join us on our little adventure. It was so much fun!
We ended up staying pool-side at the Best Western Ramkota for the night. We got there at check-in and definitely got our money's worth of swimming. We all swam for a couple of hours before Brett and I headed to the Temple. Ryan & McKenzie let the kids swim for a bit longer and then headed to McDonald's for dinner. They said the kids were so starving they all inhaled their dinners in a matter of seconds. (The pool was quite a work-out, I guess) After dinner & some time in the Playland, they brought the kids over to the Temple to make a swap so they could do a session as well. After the Kid Swap, Brett & I took the kids to Wendy's for a Frosty and back to the Hotel for some more swimming fun! The pool didn't close until 11 PM so we swam our hearts out! We were all exhausted but had a blast! Thanks Larsens for sharing our vacation with us!

And here's what little Glory looked like (and we all felt like) around 11:00 PM. She was totally delirious! She kept walking around aimlessly with her lips shivering. Poor Baby!! I would ask her if she was ready for bed and she would walk away saying, "swwwimming, swwwwimming". It was hilarious! :

Yeah for the Ramkota!
