Ballet Recital

Isabelle is on the far right end, I was on the wrong side but I think I got a better view.

Ready for her performance!

The Zoo!

The zoo had member's night. They open the zoo up at night to members only and all the rides are free. There are music stations and a few other fun things, but we chose to focus on the rides. First we went on the train. This was Parker's highlight. He would have been content to ride it all night long. Spent the whole time with a huge grin on his face.

Look at the delight on his face!

Then we went on the carousel. Isabelle, the big girl, got to ride all by herself!

Parker got to ride with mommy, but I don't think he minded.

Then the kids got to ride the boats. The true joy was ringing the bell. Each boat had two bells. I felt so badly for the girl who was running this ride. Can't imagine how long it takes her to get that ringing out of her ears.
Finally, we rode the spinning ride. This was the "craziest" ride and we weren't exactly sure how the kids were gonna do with it, but they had a great time!

Catchin' Up

So, it has been a while since I have posted so I will do a pic post. As you can see, we have done a lot of water play. Pics are in descending chronological order because I am too lazy to reorder them. Enjoy!

Easter Morning

So, I completely forgot to take a "completed" picture of the kids in their Easter best, but I thought the bare chest pics more than made up for it. Besides, these pictures are much closer to real life. :)

Parker not sure if he is still dreaming or that loot really is for him.

Philip convincing him it really is okay to dig in.

Isabelle making sure that Parker is finding everything all right. (Really, making sure he didn't get anything she wants)
