Spring Break Fun

This week the leprechauns came by our house again to wish us a Happy St. Patrick's Day. We love seeing what they have done each year. This year they brought new shirts, headbands, bow ties and of course a box of Lucky Charms cereal. All of it was a hit!
Connor loved his headband!
Travis enjoyed it for a bit.... only to get a few pictures. Then it all came off (well, at least he kept his shirt on all day!) He's a party pooper sometimes!
On Friday we went to the Phoenix Children's Museum again. This time we took some good friends of ours. It was really fun because they had never been there before. The last time we went it was super crowded. This time was less crowded so the kids got to do more things. Here they are going through the car wash. Travis took pride in being able to pedal these two around!
We gave him a boost and off they went!
Maddie took a turn at the wheel too. At first it was just Connor and then suddenly Travis hopped on board too. She was a bit shocked at first (who wouldn't when you suddenly have an extra 60 pounds on the back of your bike!) but she did a good job! She has some strong legs!
Travis still takes the grocery store quite seriously. I love watching the kids in this area because you can tell they are imitating how their parents shop at the store. They are just so funny!
Here they all are after a day of fun. We were smart this time and brought our own lunches so we could eat outside. It was a beautiful day. Connor enjoyed chasing the "birdies" while mom cringed at all of the pigeons running this way and that way. I was so afraid he was actually going to catch one at one point! Thank goodness he finally found the water bottles and pretend windows to wash and squeegee. That worked... until he found out he could squirt those birdies with the water bottle!! UGH!
The only problem with this place is that it needs to be closer to our house! The kids have so much fun. It can be hard for me to find things to do that entertain both of my boys since they do have a five year age difference. This place is perfect! I am so thankful we still have one more week off. I still have some serious spring cleaning to do around here. Hopefully I will find some time to get it all done!

Looks like a lot of fun!! It seems like Travis is growing up so fast, and Connor is a happy little guy. Beautiful family, Lisa. Sharing with friends is the best.
