Easter!

We had a fabulous Easter! We played with friends, decorated eggs, swam, had 2 

Easter feasts, and of course did tons of confetti eggs.

I had Jason take a picture of the girls before we left, and it turned out great!

I love this picture! I love it that we're matching (not on purpose too!)

Such a cute baby girl. :) 

Swimming and eating and playing with friends 

Claire loves the water! Of course she doesn't want to be held, 

but she doesn't understand she can't swim yet!

Chase was learning how to make this dog do tricks. For a kid who is scared 

of dogs, he had a great time and was very impressed. 

Dying eggs!

Easter egg hunt!

Once the eggs were dry, we put faces on them

After dinner, the boys were testing their skills trying not to get wet

But of course we had to dump them in  :)

Then they had so much fun swimming in their clothes!

Fire and smores

The next morning we did Easter morning at our house

We had to practically hold Claire down for a picture, she was so excited to touch all the stuff!

Here's me telling her no to eating the paper grass...and her wondering if I really mean it.....

Easter pictures!

Easter egg hunt #2!

And everyone's favorite part, confetti eggs!

 We hope you had as much fun as we did! Happy Easter!

Spring Break - Kentucky

We decided (last minute!) to go to Mammoth Cave National Park for spring break. 

It was an awesome trip! Also last minute we thought to ask my parents if they 

wanted to go, and they said yes! It was only 4 hours from them. 

Luckily we found a hotel with two rooms free for 3 days. So we spent our time 

hiking around and going through caves and having a great adventure. When we 

originally looked, the weather was going to be sunny and 60. That wild storm that

 hit the east affected us though, and the highs were in the low 40's! Brrr! 

We still had a great time and the boys were excited to see a bit of snow!

The first day we did a 2 hour cave tour with 550 steps!!

It was beautiful inside though, such a cool thing to see. We were far underground.

After the tour and lunch, we went on a popular hike to see a sink hole.

I love this little snow bunny! She was so great as usual. :)

On Day 2 we went on a boat cave tour. This was the coldest day. You can see in the picture

it was snowing on the hike down to the boat dock!

 After that, to get out of the cold, we visited the Corvette Museum.

Day 3 we saw a different cave with less steps but more visual variation. 

Then we went on another hike to get out and see the park. It was supposed to be a short hike,

but somehow ended up being like 4 hours! The kids were so good, probably better than

us adults! Haha. We were tired to say the least, but it was fun and so pretty.

This stick sword fighting seems to be a trend... :)

This park was so pretty, I imagine it would be beautiful in summer and fall.

We had such a fun time and made some great memories!
