Wear 'em out....

We took the kids up to a local park to let them run.  It was a picture perfect morning.  The sun was out, it was warm out and lots of giggles.

Hangin' out with Grandpa Divine

The girls are really in to posing lately....

I just can't get enough of this kid.  He is the sweetest thing on the planet, he has the funniest facial expressions and he makes us laugh all of the time.

"If the girls can do.... so can I"

The girls were playing McDonalds drive through and they charged me $4.99 for diet coke and Dad got 2 burgers, fries, a pie and a drink for $4... I got jipped.

Charlie just got pooped out.  He got his cup and had a seat on the pavement.  I think the girls are good at wearing him out!

The day turned out beautiful.....

After all of the rain, the day turned out to be gorgeous!

Elise reading Charlie a goodnight book.

Then Charlie got up later when Bridgette came over to say hi.... he didn't want to miss the party!

Whatever they are watching.... it must be good.

Charlie gets really excited when they bowl.

The trees were in full bloom.  Matt and Mollie have a beautiful Crab Apple Tree in the back yard.

Lauren talked Grandpa into a wagon ride.

Dad bowling on the Wii.... Elise and Lauren kicked his booty, it was hilarious!

A visit to the Plaza

Most of the fountains were on while we were there.  They have a ton of fountains and statues all over the place there.

Elise wanted her picture taken on EVERY single statue we saw... I have only posted a few but there are lots more.  This one was so cute because the stork's mouth has a hole in it.  There was a family ahead of us with a little baby and they put her in it and took her picture... it was sooo cute.

The tulips were in full bloom down there.... on March 23rd.  Crazy!!!

Lauren didn't really have a good time.  She was tired, bored and whiny... perfect for a day of looking around.  She would much rather be riding her bike, running around at a park or just outide playing.

I think I will just take a little nap right here.

A trip to Matt and Mollie's

We went down to visit Mollie and her family for the end of Spring Break.  Dad and Lucy flew down from Minneapolis on Friday morning.  Once the rain stopped later on Friday, it turned out to be a gorgeous weekend.
