This year we were able to go to Texas for Jared's Spring Break! We arrived in Spring last night and we all enjoyed a wonderful night's sleep after 2 crazy days of driving. We have been planning this trip since January-ish and had finally come to grips with the fact that Douglas, Nikki, and family just weren't going to be able to make it this time. So, we were shocked and pleasantly surprised when Linken and Grayson ran around the corner this morning. Douglas and Nikki drove all night long to get here in time for the day's festivities- and then the went to get some well earned rest!
This morning started out with Grandma and Grandpa's neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt! Tori and Linken were all ready to go!
Garrett was more than content with his two Easter Eggs!
Garrett and Linken in action- what pros!!!
Jared and I had thought Tori might be a little shy during the hunt- not so at all! Check out this girl in action- and note that her basket is almost all full!!!
So, we thought it would be great to have a picture with all the kids and the Easter Bunny. Yeah- not so great! Even though it wasn't what we expected, I still love this picture! I love that Linken and Grayson are both just chillin' while Tori and Garrett are having major meltdowns!
At least the traumatic event didn't slow them down on the playground! Garrett had a ball climbing all over the place!
And Tori found all of the really fast slides! (Thanks for helping Grandma!!!)
Our next stop was a place called Bouncing Bears- basically a big bounce house place. To get there we decided to test Cam out a bit. And voila- she can fit 4 car seats!!! (Another fun cousin shot!)
Bouncing Bears was so much fun!!! Tori and Linken hit the ground running and we were lucky to keep up with them as they ran from bounce house to bounce house!
Daddy and Garrett had to tackle this slide!
And Tori showed us she could do it all by herself!
So, Tori is the one in the yellow that is scaling that wall with ease! And Garrett is the one at the bottom- trying so hard to keep up with his sister!
And there they are again- they had a blast!!!
By the end, even Garrett was going down slides by himself! What a big kid!!!
After our bounce house fun, we went to McDonald's for a yummy lunch. You may think the kids would have been worn out by then. Perhaps a bit, but not enough to forgo playing on the Play Place! Our fun first day ended with a wonderful dinner outside at Scrappn' Savvy! I so wish I had captured a few pictures- it was so fun to be together as a family enjoying the amazing weather and the even better company! Hurrah for a fantastic first day in Texas!
