Spring Break

Updates on Clifton -
Has a hard time doing activities that are for his sister to brother.  I knew he would outgrow the little kids stage and fun but didn't expect it so quickly.  Makes me sad.

Updates on McKay -
Loved spring break.  She is such a home body so she has loved the extra time at home.

Updates on Stanley -
Got a nice new do.  His hair was getting very long.

Monday began Spring Break.  We had no plans to leave town so we planned some fun staycation activities.  First Seattle and what a beautiful day for it!

Our first visit to the Troll under the bridge.

Then we rode the monorail for the first time.

It was a lot of fun.  The driver even let the kids honk the horn.  I love when people do small things that mean the world to a kid.

We then decided to play at one of the coolest and scariest playgrounds around.

Such a fun day in Seattle!

Stanley kept calling the Space Needle the Space Noodle, so cute!

Tuesday we played with friends.  First at the park.

 Then we went on a hike with other friends and got to mark off a cub scout advancements.

We have some awesome friends.

That night we met Alex after work and went to see Sherlock Gnomes.

Yay for 5$ Tuesdays and family time.

Wednesday I had some errands I needed to run.  The kids were being so good letting me run around that we stopped half way through at the Gnome home.

 They also had the worlds largest flower in bloom...

But we got there too late.  It had died already.  Mom fail!

That afternoon we ventured to Bainbridge Island with friends and went to the aquatic center.

A lot of fun.  And they slept well that night!

Thursday we headed to the Washington State History Museum.  Clifton went about a month ago for a school field trip and enjoyed it enough to want to go again.

 Part of the Tacoma bridge that collapsed.

They had the Toytopia exhibit there too.

Friday we headed to the zoo.

And the weather actually turned out nice.

The weather was so nice that we headed out for a walk and park fun later.

And catching frogs by our ponds.  Nights like these get me excited for summer.

Saturday Clifton had district pinewood derby.

His car didn't do great but he had a lot of fun with his friends.

That night we went out to dinner with friends, then we danced and played games.

I wasn't feeling great that day but good friends always help.

Sunday McKay and I busted out another matching dresses.  I got them for Mother's day but we were too excited to wait.  I think we have an addiction.

Other fun from the week...

 Doctor Stanley checking on baby.

Fun art and crafts with McKay.  She's creative!
