Friday... Family Fun Day!

Last week to round out a wonderful spring break week we loaded the kids in the car and took a little drive East. A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine visited a near by arboretum and she said it was absolutely beautiful, and since the littlest munchkins would get in for free it seemed like a delightful way to spend our afternoon.

So, here are some pics from our recent visit to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum... such a gorgeous setting! This park has a rich history and it was great exploring around and reading all about the creator, Boyce Thompson, and his desire for and interest in things botanical, horticultural, and natural.

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Another before and after... this one is not so dramatic...

Before: 4 bandanas (2 zebra print & 2 pink polka dot) After: 1 very ADORABLE bandana dress and 1 super STYLISH bandana shirt Now I know this is not a new concept here, but I am really quite proud of my little sewing creation. So proud that I'm sure the girls are going to be screaming and chanting 'put down the bandana and just walk away'. These were oh so (and sew) easy!!! I'm seeing one in every color and pattern for the girls... oh the possibilities!!

Our prima ballerina!

Miss Sammy had her 2nd dance recital with Miss Annie's dance class. I was beaming ear to ear watching her dance her heart out. She was absolutely beautiful, graceful and completely poised. I'm so glad she enjoys dance class and can't wait to start up the next session.

Juggling it all...
