Bushkill Falls

The three nights we slept at my parent's house went very smoothly. Nadia was in a bedroom by herself, and the boys shared a bedroom. They didn't have trouble going to sleep, and the earliest any of them got up was 6:45 each morning (and some slept until 7:30 some days). The first night here in the Poconos also went pretty well although Nadia and Ian each woke up (and required our attention) at least once during the middle of the night. Last night was the first time the bigger two had trouble going to sleep (I think not allowing them to nap today will solve that problem). In light of not falling asleep until 9:30pm, they both slept until 7:30 this morning. Oliver fell asleep at 8:00pm and woke up at 5:45am. If we had been at home, I would have let him fuss a little in his crib, and I am confident he would have gone back to sleep. Since he was sharing a room with his siblings, I didn't feel comfortable doing that. Nadia also woke me up at 3am so I was feeling a bit tired this morning. If this happens again tomorrow morning, I'll be moving Oliver's pack n play out of their room.

This morning we met my mom at the swimming pool at 9:30am and spent about 90 minutes there before heading back to our townhouse for lunch. After lunch we spent about an hour at the playground with my parents. While Oliver napped the rest of us hung out in our living room - playing, reading, etc. After his nap we headed to Bushkill Falls. It was the kids first time going on any kind of hike or seeing a waterfall. The weather was gorgeous (almost 80 degrees), and we had a lovely time there! We saw rainbows over the waterfall. I'll post more pictures later this week. It takes forever to upload pictures with this resort's wi-fi. After Bushkill Falls we had dinner at Dairy Queen (ate outside), and then the six of us went swimming until it was almost bedtime for the kids. Even though we wish the water was a bit warmer in the indoor pool (or that the kids were allowed in the jacuzzi), I think we're all having a relaxing time up here in the Poconos!
