Spring Break Week

While most of the metro area headed to Florida, we stayed here for Spring Break last week. I initially had no real plans for the week but to relax but we ended up doing lots of fun things with the rest of the Metro that stayed in town. One day, Pam and Von (my aunts, kids great aunts) took the kids, myself and Grandmama to the zoo. We haven't been to the zoo in a loooong time, so long that I couldn't even remember ever taking Lorelei to this one! We had a great time looking at all the animals and it was so nice to have some extra adults on hand to help wrangle the kids on a very hot April day!

Another day, we ventured out with Grandmama and Grandaddy (daddy had to work all week) to the Georgia Aquarium. Once again a place we have visited but not in quite some time. The rest of Atlanta that did not go to Florida were at the Aquarium this day as well! Lorelei loved the seahorses and Paxton liked the eels! I love watching the kids faces as they discover new animals and what they do!

Later in the week we went to a Minor League Baseball game with Grandaddy and Grandmama, and daddy got to come to this one. The kids had a blast jumping in the inflatables before the game. Paxton has his Tomahawk and Foam Finger and really got into the first part of the game. Grandaddy entertained Lorelei and eventually Paxton who lost interest after a few innings. It was a really nice night and we had a great time altogether.

Other days over Spring break were spent watching a couple of new movies, Alice in Wonderland (I had forgotten how strange that movie actually was!) and the Princess and the Frog movie. Lorelei got to take home Libby the Bee for a whole week from her Preschool class because she was the star kid! We had to make a poster and do some scrap booking pages of Lorelei's and Libby's adventures together. Libby even helped bake cupcakes last week! The kids could not wait to make them but then neither one of them ate them! I had to throw them all away today. I wish I had that much will power to withstand baked goods too! So here are the pictures from our fun filled week over Spring Break!

Paxton helped with decorating too.

These poor yummy cupcakes never got eaten! I thought they looked good!

Oh yeah, here is Lorelei's one bite and then she threw away the rest!

Maybe Libby wants a bite?

Libby and Lorelei enjoyed eating at PF Changs.
