"Jay"cation!

Hooray, it's vacation week, and it's been great so far! We started with a relaxing Saturday and then hit the road Sunday for a short stay in Jay, Vermont (home of Jay Peak Resort). The draw was a brand new water park at the resort called The Pump House. It's HUGE and totally awesome. It just opened in the middle of December, so it's practically brand new. Justin snuck away Sunday for a day on the slopes to take advantage of some long-awaited POWDER! It finally snowed and Jay reportedly got 47" of snow. I packed the car and kids and made my way to the fabulous rental house--we met up with our great neighbors, the Crafts and McCleary families. As always, my photo taking could have been better--you'll have to imagine the fun times and yummy meals that happened in the house both days we were there--but I did manage to capture some of the great moments we had. I'm SO glad it's vacation week!

Front of rental house--it was such a gorgeous day when I drove up on Sunday.

The boys enjoyed running around the big, open spaces when we first arrived (especially after being in the car for almost 2 hours). We arrived first, which was nice. They ran around, I unloaded the car. 

Still a gorgeous house, even on a cloudy day.

Life jackets were provided--YAY--and it was bright, cheerful, and WARM inside! 86 degrees!

The largest lazy river in the country, apparently. 

We all spent a lot of time in the lazy river. I couldn't get photos when it was all of us together, though!

View from the 2nd floor entrance. What you can't see from this angle is a great area for small children...fun but totally impossible for me to take photos there--too much splashing water! :-)

Contemplating our next move. 

Justin signed a waiver and bravely took on the surfing ride...

This pool had a basketball hoop and climbing wall. So cool!

Love.

Snowshoeing with the ladies. We saw a MOOSE!
