The Keene's take FUN CITY!!!


“Hey there pretty lady, I am four!” Yep, Justice is going to be a ladies man. The Keene clan spent the night at Fun City and Justice was mackin on the girls in the pool. Over heard this little remark, from our fabulous four year old, while he was waiting for his turn on the water slide. Honestly, Fun City does live up to its name. We needed some time away from home and this was close enough to cure the itch. Dinner was at a hibachi grill and JUST like I had anticipated, Justice was totally in to it after the first five minutes of bewilderment. “Dad, you done with that fork?” Chef Justice wanted to chop the two forks onto his plate for a finale. He loved it, and so did Coach Keene! Cameron, not so much. After dinner Justice and Daddy went to the water park and Cameron and I headed out for some retail therapy. Cameron usually only has about 1-1/2 hours of shopping patience in him. Upon our return to the hotel, I found the boys splashing and playing. Looked pretty fun, so I geared up Cameron, little swimmers and all, and took him to the pool. Yet, another Keene who attracts all the pretty ladies. Cameron just smiled at everyone who walked by as he splashed around. The family left the water park, after 2 hours and hit the games for awhile, along with a late night snack! BOTH KIDS fell fast asleep swiftly, not to mention Coach and I passed out just as rapid. I had pictured in my mind Cameron’s ear-piercing scream waking up the entire hotel. Thank goodness Cameron surprised me! Breakfast and back to the water park, followed by a quick trip to Tar-get and home. Totally need to get our friends on board and go back. I need to hit that Spa and Coach was foaming at the mouth to hit a table or two at the casino. Isn’t it funny how our trips change as children enter the picture? Wonder where we would be if we didn’t have two little ones nipping at our feet? I think a tropical Easter would a nice change of pace…Wait, I am dreaming. Coach informed me today that this year’s summer trip to North Carolina would be 7 days long, Yeah; I better get something “tropical” out of being home, for an entire week alone, with the chit-lin! I won’t hold my breath…
