Yes, we are glad winter is finally behind us.....
That means baseball games in the front yard......
playing at the park.....
and Spring Break!
For Spring Break we took a little road trip to St. Louis and had a fabulous time. Part of what made it fun was meeting up with some old Bechtel friends. We went to the zoo, the City Museum and the St Louis Science museum, and checked out the Gateway Arch. I just have to put a good word in for the City Museum......it was amazing! If you have active kids who love to run around and climb (I guess that's just the definition of "kid," isn't it?) then this is somewhere you need to go. We had to drag the boys out of there at closing time :) "Museum" is a misnomer, it is a huge indoor/outdoor play area with, among other things, a ten story slide (yes you read that correctly.) Tons of fun. I didn't, however, get many pictures as we were too busy keeping track of the kids. Here's one of Connor climbing in the skate park (no skateboards there, it was just a place for the kids to run around...)
So I guess I just took a break from picture taking that entire weekend. Oops. Anyway, for the rest of spring break, we slept in, went to the park and the Wonderlab, had friends over, and just relaxed. But I'll have to admit that I enjoyed the calm of a routine once the kids went back to school....
OK so this wasn't during spring break, but last week Kate, Owen and I went to the Indianapolis Children's Museum for playgroup. This is Kate at the Dora exhibit. I think this is a byproduct of having two older brothers, but she is pretty much obsessed with Diego and wouldn't even let me get her picture next to Dora. But can you blame her? Rescuing endangered animals is just SO COOL.
