Spring Break?!

Our Happy Easter...Spring Break week was wonderful as you are about to see. I thought I did a great job of planning some fun activities with the girls during Spring Break, but I did not do a great job with taking pictures at some of the activities. Oh well, at certain points, a narration will have to suffice!
But first of all... Siennas' art work keeps us up to date on special events. Do you like the Easter egg explanation point?

The girls helped me make Bunny Cakes for Easter dinner, they were pretty darn cute and very yummy!

The weather was lovely and we got to enjoy some jump rope and fun on the playground out back.
Pop Pop gets a love from Lila who can't figure out what all the hub-bub is about

Spring pictures wouldn't be complete without some of Kinsey. We miss them so much!!! But here are a few precious ones they sent. To see more check out their blog.

Too cute....
I love this one with her Bunny Foo-Foo.... how funny is that!?

Our week of spring break activities began on MONDAY with a trip to the State Museum... forgot the camera...there the girls learned about SC history while following a treasure map. Good fun.
On TUESDAY the girls came here for science experiments and crafts day. I got so involved in the volcano and sponge paints that again I forgot the camera. But it was a great day.
On WEDNESDAY we drove to Charlotte, NC to the Discovery Place and had a great day there. Here are a few highlights:
Sienna lays on a bed of very sharp nails and doesn't feel a thing!! Miya tried but frieked out.

Sienna is able to keep a ball in the air and direct it's movement through a hose


The girls had a blast making pricess castles with light-glow, magnetic shapes on a light table. So fun!!


Sienna pulls her weight up to the top of the post by pulling herself up with a rope and pulley system. What a muscle-girl!!


The girls get set to view a 3-D movie about turtles. What movie stars!!


The girls wanted pink cupcakes at the snack bar sooooooo bad..... guess who had a pink face the rest of the day?


We had a spashing good time at the water station. I think Lila liked the water....


Sienna works on a hexagonal shaped tower...

While Alisha and Miya build another structure:


Back to the water, it was one of their favorit stations:


So fun to discover and play... we'll go back. Kinsey, come join us next time!!!
On THURSDAY, I had a funeral luncheon to prepare so the girls had a fun day at home and then we enjoyed Chuck E Cheese for dinner.
On FRIDAY we joined the millions at the zoo who made up the biggest crowd on record. We enjoyed and got home w/out incident.
Saturday ended a great week w/a very very busy day at the temple and a good LONG nights sleep.
What a great couple weeks. We love our family!! Thanks girls for sharing it with grandma.
