Spring Break has Begun

That's right! Spring Break is here and Eli and I have been trying to make the most of it. We've already been out for a couple of play-dates. It is nice not having school or tutoring to keep us from scheduling fun outings.

Today, we headed to the Junior Museum with Eli's buddies, Lexie Kate and Kent. Of course, the mommies and baby sisters came along too.

The three kids were just adorable and played pretty well together.

They loved looking at and calling to the farm animals. Here they are yelling and "moo"-ing at the cow in hopes of getting her to turn around.

Off they would run and then stop at each bench for a break. This bench seemed particularly interesting as it was over water.

Great photo op, but try getting three 2 year-olds to look and smile at the same time. A nearly impossible task...

Before leaving for lunch, we hit the playground. It is a great one with so many different things to play on. This was a rare moment when all three were playing in the same spot.

Call us silly, but the moms decided that we wanted lunch before heading home...and not fast food. So we braved Applebee's with our exhausted toddlers and the two babies. We survived despite loud music, spilled drinks, chair hopping, and crying. Thank goodness they sat us on the porch! :)

Eli crashed on the drive home and napped for over 3 hours!!! I guess we sufficiently wore them out.
