Tulip festival: Ryann

This girl was all about pictures this day.  She was also a huge helper. She actually got interviewed by a local tv station as well.  

This silly girl also refused to wear regular shoes so she ended up totally muddy. Oh well. It was vacation. 

Trip home and 24 week bump

Our last night of the trip the kids had a blast in our hotel room. We ate at Denny's, swam in the hotel pool, I was able to work out, and the girls got to watch as many cartoons as they possibly could. 

We drove past mount Shasta on the way home so ryann wanted to take a picture. 

Then we stopped at Logan's roadhouse on the way home which meant I avoided McDonald's the entire trip (except for a nighttime ice cream run) 

We were happy to have a fun trip but happy to make it home to see daddy. 

Portland. Spring break day 4

Little Mac spent most of the trip tired. He always wanted his blanket and to suck his thumb. He was a pretty good sport even though he never got a real nap on the trip. 

After we checked out of our hotel we took the air tram in Portland to see the city from a distance. Mac loved it and the girls also had fun. 

Despite cara's face she did have a good time. 

Before leaving Portland we stopped at a toy store and bought some Easter basket toys. 

Second half of day 3

I took too many pictures to not blog more about the trip. Here are the kids at the outlets. It was cold and rainy while we were there but we had fun. 

I took a picture of myself to prove I was there. (24 weeks!)

After the outlets we drove up to Portland to our hotel. It was getting late so I asked the hotel the closest restaurant and it was the spaghetti factory. Sold. 

Mac loved his cup because there was a train on it. He ended up spilling it all over, but it was still a good dinner. 

Spring break day 2

Our day two of spring break started with the kids and I jumping in the car and driving north to Oregon. We made our first stop in ukiah for lunch and snow cones. 

Cara ended up puking up the blue snow cone an hour later. But other than that the ride to eureka was smooth sailing after that. 

In eureka we stopped at a little zoo for about an hour and then headed farther north to grants pass, Oregon where we stayed the night. 

The kids were mostly excited about the sushi we ate before the hotel, but true hotel was exciting too. Mac ended up sleeping with me and needless to say we didn't get a lot of sleep. 

Now on to our next adventure!

Spring break day 1!

My pretty girl had fun today when she had so much sand on her legs that it matched her freckles. 

Ryann searched all day long to find crabs and seashells. She came home with a huge bag that she shared with her cousins. 

Mac was exhausted most of the day so he spent most of the time lying down on the sand playing with his trains. 

Or screaming at me for walking near the ocean or not letting him eat sand. Poor guy. I feel like he is the only kid in the world who hates the beach.
