This weekend we went to Dallas to hang with the Falcos. The kids played great together and had the best time! Caroline and Ali loved jumping on their trampoline.
Caroline learned what a double bounce means
On Sunday we were going to go to the arboretum but it was raining and looked like it wouldn't stop so we went to the Dallas aquarium
This place is really neat. My favorite was the shark tunnel. This was Ali's least favorite which is why I don't have a picture.
The sting rays
Ali and Jack did good.
Ali did not like the penguins either so we waited by the giant fish tank for everyone else
Caroline's favorite was the octopus
and the flamingos
(the aquarium was indoors but Caroline thought she needed her glasses)
Sam and Caroline playing paw patrol in the living room while the little kids took naps
Caroline has been saving her money for a few months and has been asking to go to Build-a-Bear. I know Amy loves us because she hates the mall but went with us to Build-a-bear in the afternoon on a weekend.
Caroline was SO EXCITED! She knew exactly which one she wanted.
She already picked the name Ella Prather out for her animal. What a fun place!
Ali picked out a colorful rabbit and when asked what she wanted to name it she said
"prinkle donut" (sprinkle donut)
so that's what we put on the rabbit's birth certificate. Dad let Caroline pick out one outfit for hers. She was very appreciative and kept telling her daddy thank you
Ali was proud to have something like her sister. When we got back we decided we needed to jump on the trampoline.
I made this hilarious video of the kids playing ring around the rosie together. Sam would swing the other 3 around. They loved it!
Caroline made Ella a bed.
Last week of school:
The last week of school is always stressful. I had a handful of students I wasn't sure were going to graduate (they all did!)
Graduation went great!
Caroline's last days of school were really fun!
Her end of year party was filled with Bahama Bucks and a giant water gun fight
For Mother's day one of my gifts was a mudroom gift card
Caroline painted herself a horse
On Thursday it was hot outside so we got the pool out.
Thursday night Ali got sick several resting in the morning.
She was excited to pick Caroline up.
