Spring Break

We are always thankful that Clayton and I are both in education when Spring Break comes around.  It is so nice to both be home and enjoy fun activities together as a family.  After our trip to Austin, we came home,  relaxed, and enjoyed some fun activities.  We intended to enjoy the new science museum, but it was WAY TOO crowded so we changed our plans and went down to the Stockyards and took a train ride.  I think Camille's favorite part was having her ticket punched.

We also enjoyed the beautiful blooms at the Dallas Arboretum with our friends, April and Dan.

We all enjoyed a picnic on a blanket when we first got there.  It was SO crowded that I was completely exhausted when we left just from keeping up with Camille and making sure she didn't run off, pick the flowers or run into the people around her.  She loved every bit of it and was completely in her own world.  I can't believe April and I didn't even take a picture together!

Happy Birthday, Papa!

In March we went to Austin to celebrate Papa's 60th Birthday!  We had a great time at Saltgrass enjoying lunch.  The kids were so excited when Bubbie and Papa walked up that they all ran out the front door of the restaraunt yelling, "SURPRISE!"  He's a pretty lucky papa to have so many cute grandkids!
We also went out to Bubbie and Papa's house and took a walk down to the lake.  The kids enjoyed throwing things into the lake, skipping rocks and long, meaningful talks.
