The kids were so excited that Daddy had to mow the other day. This was Megan and Elliott's first ride on the tractor. How fun!!

Spring Break 2011

We had a great time with the Peterson kids over Savannah's spring break last week. Thinking over the week we packed a lot of stuff into 7 days!! We arrived late Friday night. Saturday was Mike's birthday!! Satuday night the parents went on a fantastic birthday date to the Angus Barn for the California Wine Dinner (yummo). On Sunday Mike and Andy went on a long run. They are both training for the Illinois Marathon the last day of April (I am doing the half marathon). The kids had a great time playing in the morning then we headed to Monkey Joe's ("bouncing place" as Megan calls it) in the afternoon. The big kids (Grant and Savannah) were completely wiped. The rest of the week was filled with museums (Raleigh's Natural Science Museum and Durham's Science/kids museum), shopping, eating, and playing. We had such a great time, thanks again Petersons!!

The first 3 pictures were taken on our way home from their house at the Winston-Salem Children's Museum (which was very cool). There was a great Krispy Kreme donut exhibit. The lone picture of all of the kids facing forward was taken at REI, go figure. We heart REI and there are 3 stores in Raleigh. We had to visit each one of course. The picture of Sarah and Megan was taken at the Durham museum that has an awesome outdoor dinosaur bone digging pit. The kids could have played in that pit all day. Savannah and Grant are posing outside of the goat and cow exhibit.
