Spring Break 2010

I took the week off of work while the girls had Spring Break and we had a great week together.  It really made me miss being home with  the girls.  Not only did we go to the aquarium, Rain Forest Cafe, hair cuts, dentist, pictures and out with grandmas I also managed to weed the backyard and clean out a couple of closets.  It was wonderful! 

At the Dallas World Aquarium, we got there right after it open and had a great time going from exhibit to exhibit.  It was good we got there early because when we left, the line to get in was insane.  One of Ava’s favorite things was the jaguar.  He did not seem happy at all – pacing back and forth – but Ava thought it was fun to run back and forth with him.

I didn’t realize this when I took the picture, but now looking back at it I am pretty sure the alligator peed just before I took the picture.  I guess that does make me think he was real because he didn’t move at all while we were watching him.

There were several huge manatees.  The girls thought they were pretty cool.

Then we went on to the Rain Forest Cafe.  While we were waiting for a table, the girls when on a little train ride.

Another fun activity was pillow forts.  This normally consisted of Anna and McKenna getting every pillow in the house and Ava would sit in the middle of all of them saying ‘I’m a Princess’ – this could go on for hours :-) and yes, Ava is wearing a green shirt and purple pants – It was St. Patrick’s day and once she had these pants on she didn’t want to change so we just went with it.

And what is March without one more snow stormIMG_5850 IMG_5848

This time, Ava really wanted to go outside and she was willing to dress warmly.  Anna, McKenna and Patrick played as usual.

Everything had melted by the next day, so it was actually really nice.

Easter is on the way, and here are our 3 little bunnies:

I just found Windows Live Writer and it makes blogging SOOO much easier, so maybe you will see more posts from me in the future.
