Springbreak week...

Last week was the first Springbreak for the boys and as usual, I was unprepared. For some reason, it did not dawn on me to plan things to do until the last minute. Some of our friends went to Sea World and I don't know why I didn't think to do something like that. The weather was absolutely beautiful.


On Monday, we played outside and went to Chick-fil-a for lunch. Chick-fil-a has a great toddler play area and it is very clean.

Carter climbs up in his swing and tries to buckle himself in.

Yes, the weather was so nice, Carter ran around in just a diaper. Also, he hates getting his diaper changed or clothes on.

Tuesday, we drove to Tyler, Texas, and met Brandy, Trace and Griffin Antunes at Chuck E. Cheese. We spent about 3 1/2 hours there letting the kids play and eat pizza. The kids had so much fun. Unfortunately, Brandy and I both forgot our cameras, so I don't have any pictures.

Wednesday, I took Bryce and Carter to Jump N Jive (an indoor jump place) in Rockwall. They had an hour and a half blocked off for preschool age kids. Bryce had fun and Carter did too once he overcame his fear of the inflatables. Then, we went to Ihop (Bryce's favorite) to eat lunch. On this day, my camera battery was dead, so no pics.

Thursday, we went running errands and then ate at McDonald's for lunch. The kids played in the playland and had a great time.

Friday, we took the kids to the Ft. Worth Zoo. I must say that everyone must of had the same idea. It was so crowded. I had not been there since I was little and neither had Shawn. We had to park really far away from the zoo and hike in. Thank goodness we took our own strollers and did not wait to rent one in the zoo. Once inside, it was very crowded. It was lunch time and the kids were starving. The lines for food were extremely long, so we bought popcorn to snack on until we could get in a line and get real food. Next time, I will pack a lunch. I did not know that you could take food and drinks inside, but next time we definitely will. Bryce got to see many of the animals and we rode the train around. It was fun, but we will have to go back on a day that is less crowded.
