Spring Break

Over spring break, Aubrey came to visit us. We also took off for a family vacation! We found a great deal on a bungalow in a "Center Parc" resort in the Netherlands. They even let you bring dogs!

So, Monday morning we got ready and headed out. It was a 2.5 hour drive north to De Huttenheugte center parc.
Our bungalow was right on the lake, with gorgeous views. It was also right next to a playground, which was great for Brady, Keira and Aubrey.

Center Parcs are laid out as a village with a central area called the "market dome". This area has a large playground, little marina for paddle boats and canoes, petting zoo, mini golf, and climbing wall all outside.


Inside the market done is a large indoor water park with slides, wave pool, and kid pools. There are also four restaurants, a food market, bowling alley and live entertainment area. While we were there, the kids played bingo, Aubrey and Chris saw a show, we went to a kid's disco and of course we all went swimming!
Aubrey got to go "wild water rafting" on Thursday morning.

We had a really good week at the resort, swimming every day and getting some good family bonding time. I absolutely recommend a center parc vacation to families with little and big kids, they are all over Europe and UK, and totally worth it!
