I&#8217;m so sorry it&#8217;s been a week since my last post!  We&#8217;ve been out of town, and I&#8217;ve been tired, and I&#8217;ve been a little nauseous, and I&#8217;ve been wrestling maniacs.  There&#8217;s my list of excuses. :)  I&#8217;m so thankful you haven&#8217;t given up on me.<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nA few weeks ago I asked my wonderful facebook friends where Brad and I could take our 7, 4, and 2 year old maniacs for family vacation.  I received several wonderful suggestions of places I had never heard of, and we choose one of them for our destination.  We went to <a href=\"http:\/\/http:\/\/www.latorrettalakeresort.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">La Torretta<\/a> in Conroe, Texas.  It was WONDERFUL and PERFECT for our family!\u00a0 I highly recommend it for families of young children.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The resort was clean.\u00a0 The room was clean.\u00a0 The hotel employees were friendly and helpful.\u00a0 The basic room is a 2-room suite with a hide-a-bed, so it was great for our family of 5.\u00a0 There was PLENTY to do at the resort, so we never left except to eat dinner, which made this vacation very affordable.\u00a0 Our children loved the water park, and there was something for everyone.\u00a0 La Torretta is probably better for younger kids, such as ours, but it kept them busy and happy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Water Park Attractions:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Baby area (about 4 inches deep)<\/li>\n<li>Children&#8217;s area (less than a foot deep) with a huge splash area with water sprayers and slides.\u00a0 That&#8217;s where we spent most of our time.<\/li>\n<li>Big kids area (5 feet deep) with 2 great water slides that Preston, Brad, and I enjoyed.<\/li>\n<li>Lazy River (3 feet deep) and we spent a lot of time there, too.<\/li>\n<li>Pools<\/li>\n<li>Hot Tubs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Other Outdoor Activities:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Putt-Putt<\/li>\n<li>Fishing<\/li>\n<li>Tennis<\/li>\n<li>Golf<\/li>\n<li>Chess\/Checkers<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Beach&#8221; Volleyball on the lake<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>(La Torretta has no idea who I am, and they did not ask me to write this report.\u00a0 It&#8217;s just that when I, as a mom&#8230;as The Real Housewife, find a great family place I feel it is my duty to share it with all of you! :)<\/em> <em>You&#8217;re welcome.) <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Now for the pics&#8230;lots and lots of pics&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We drove to Conroe Thursday afternoon, and we were fortunate enough to meet some dear friends for lunch on the way.\u00a0 We always love hanging out with the James family!\u00a0 (We missed you, David)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Sweet Jemma loves Pinky.\u00a0 They are just 2 (or is it 3?) months apart.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a
