Introducing Benjamin Li Beresford!

After a long, fun weekend at Zehnder's Splash Park and Hotel, and a family discussion that included our two girls, we have chosen an American name for our newest Beresford member!  Introducing:  Benjamin Li Beresford!  "Li" is pronounced"Lee" and it is, by Chinese definition, "strong".  We thought that to be very fitting for our little guy, who has already endured so much.  Little Ben, we already love you so much!

Charlotte really wanted to name him "Diego" but we had to exercise our power of parental veto on that one. 

We had a lot of fun at the water park.  We played from open to close, which was at 10:00pm.  It was the first time either of the girls has stayed at a hotel, and it was so fun to watch them explore our room.  Charlotte, the master of hiding spots, was thrilled to find that the night table had a spot just big enough for her.



Madeline was a bit hesitant about the three-story water slide, but after trying it once on Daddy's lap, she was in love.  She must have gone a hundred times.  It was so fun to see her confidence rise, and her smile and laugh all day.  We needed that one-on-one time with each other more than we realized when we made these plans.  It was a GREAT weekend!
