a weekend to remember

As a family with young children I feel like there are many weekends spent in running in the backyard, picking up after Play-Doh & projects, in-between preparing breakfast, lunch, dinner and many snack breaks.

But every once in a while, there is a weekend where your calendar is filled with fun, so much fun that the schedule and the naps get put aside and you focus on making some extra special memories.

We just had one of those weekends.

We kicked it off with a trip to the zoo with some friends. We rode the carousel, fed the giraffes, and fought the crowds of students on field trips. And the mamas were rewarded with tired little darlings who were out before we pulled out of the parking lot.







On Saturday we took our love of all things Disney to another level and attended Disney On Ice.
We weren't sure what to expect, but both girls did great and Mom & Dad were pretty entertained by the performance as well.




Our Sunday started off with an Annual Easter Egg Hunt and visit to the Easter Bunny.


Caroline was a little unsure of the bunny this year,
which is a bit ironic as her lovey is a bunny and we've become a bit obsessive with all things bunny.
As I attempted to put her in the bunny's lap, she immediately started shaking her head "No".




After a costume change, we were off to Minute Maid park to see our favorite team, Royals v. Astros.
While this wasn't Caroline's first time to the ball park, this was her first Royals game.

She's a busy gal and our climber, but she did a great job helping us cheer the Royals on.

And cheer them on, we did. We lasted 9 innings, but had to call it quits as the game went into OT
(for 12 innings and the Royals lost...)

A long weekend.
A couple firsts, a couple traditions, and a lot of family memories.
