Arbo...with Nana and Pops

Look where we are again, yes, the Arboretum. I told you it was one of our favorite destinations in the fall and spring. This week we went with Nana and Pops. They buy me the membership every year for Christmas and in return, we take them with us as much as we can.

Grammy and Grandad

We love it when Grammy and Grandad come for a visit. And they love to come visit the arboretum with us. It was a beautiful day!

I love this picture. They look like best friends just laughing it up.
Sweet grandad hugs.

Swimming

This year we took swimming lessons during the spring. I wanted the girls to start the summer ready for the water. It was a group class but my two girls were the only ones in the group so it was pretty much a private lesson. They did great and really learned a lot. Thank goodness it was indoors because the first few weeks (in February) was when we had lots of freezing weather.

Our first swimming trip of the year was on April 8th after our preschool co-op. It was a little too cold for me to get in but the kids loved it. I sat on the outside ready to jump in if needed. Thank goodness they did not need it.

Bluebonnets...a Texas tradition

I now know of a great bluebonnet field only about 15 minutes from our house. Too bad it was so windy. I love bluebonnets and my girls look great in blue. Now if only I could get both of them to look at the camera and smile at the same time. . .

Easter dresses

We went to the Arboretum (yet again). This time it was with the goal of taking pictures of the girls in the Easter Dresses that Nana gave them. It is nearly impossible to get photos of the two of them together, both looking, both smiling.





They insisted on bringing their stuffed animals and having them in some pictures.
We were there with friends and handsome Hampton joined in with the pictures.

Busy Busy Day

We had a very busy day. First we went to see the Shriners Circus. Now it may not be quite as fancy as Ringling Brothers when they come to town but we were up close and the kids really enjoyed it. We got all of the clowns to autograph our program. Or at least Katherine did. It appears Caroline is scared of clowns. Who can blame her right?

After the circus we went to lunch and then Caroline had a birthday party at the Little Gym. She loved it. She is quite a monkey. To say that she was tired at the end of the day is an understatement.
