Weekend in Syracuse

This weekend we headed up to Syracuse for some fun! 

 Tommy did not sleep on the way up.  He has completely forgotten how to sleep in the car.  Instead he just sings and talks until we get there.

We checked in for the weekend at the Oakwood Hotel. Our room was upgraded and AWESOME.  In fact, it's the show room on the website, if you look it up.

 It was nice to have a separate room for the beds. Tommy enjoyed running around in it pants-less.

 He did a LOT of running in our room.  You can't blame him! There was so much space!

 We went swimming in a lake for the second week in a row. Tommy LOVED IT.  He's getting really good at maneuvering around in his floaties and ninja turtles intertube.

 He's also good at using squirt toys too!

 This is the view from the swimming dock to our room.  Our room is on the far left side of the building, second window up.

 The swimming dock was super nice.  We even convinced Tommy to jump off a few times!

 Gaga and Pop invited us over that night and we ate some yummy burgers on the grill.

 The next day was Erin's shower.  They played a "How well do you know each other?" game.  Turns out, they know each other pretty well! I think they ended up getting almost all their questions right. Good work, Future Bride and Groom!

 The T-Burg kids posed for a pic during the shower.  Aww!

Tommy had SOOO much fun playing with his cousins.  They took him everywhere and showed him everything.  He followed and played and loved every minute.

He also loved playing with his buddy Addi who are both two and a half.  He hasn't seen her in over a year.
This next picture is from the last time they were together.

They were 18 months old at this point.  A lot less hair between the two of them!
And then the year before that, they hung out at around 6 months!

Awww, sweet babies!

So on Sunday morning, Tommy woke up at 6:30 ready to rock and roll.  We almost had him convinced to go back to sleep when the Lake Mass Church Service began.  The gospel singing and preaching was SUPER LOUD and there was no sleeping for anyone after that point.  It's a really cool thing that they do though, I do have to say.  Everyone drives their boats and they can attend church on the lake. There are people that drive around with big long poles and baskets to collect the offerings. All on boats! Cool!  But let me reiterate that it was extremely loud.  We felt sorry for the late night partiers from the wedding at the hotel the night before.

 Tommy posed for a quick pic before we checked out.  He really was king of his castle in this place. :)

After no naps all weekend and not enough sleep during the night, he fell asleep on the way home after about 15 minutes.

 Once we got home we had some cake for Dada's b-day.  Look at that chocolate mustache! Very hipster!

It didn't take long for Tommy to destroy the living room before bed.  

We had such a good time this weekend seeing everyone at the shower and playing in the water.  Lots of fun was had by all!
