Spring Break In Photos
On Saturday night the kids and I returned from a week of visiting my sister and her family in Charlotte, North Carolina.
We went to parks, to swimming pools, to kid's museums, and ate out at kid-friendly restaurants. We went to story time at Borders. We celebrated Gabrielle's second birthday with a really great party. The kids ate a ton of popsicles. We had lots of hugs and kisses and "I love you" with a few "my toys" thrown in for good measure. We ate popcorn and watched Sesame Street and in the evenings Jessica, Simon and I hung out on the couch watching TV and playing on our computers. My sister and I did a bunch of high-5's as we passed each other on our way to retrieve our respective kids from their car seats.
We spent a good amount of time just hanging out on my sister's couch.
It was just right.
Wow, Simon is getting so big and grown up. It looks like you had a great time. Family time is awesome. :-)

It looks like you and the children enjoyed a wonderful visit to Charlotte - which is a great area to be in!
But I loved your comment about the time spent hanging out on the couch! When I'm visiting my best friends (whom, as an only child, I consider my sisters), the "doing stuff" is always fun...but there's such wonderful value and satisfying blessing in the low-key, "hanging out at home," too. =)

I love the photos! I'm so glad your trip went well. It's no easy task to fly alone with two kids! Glad you're back home safe and sound. As always, thanks for sharing the photos with us! ~Jen

Love it when you share your weekend in photos.
I live in your sisters neck of the woods. Which museums did ya'll go to and would you go back to them again? Looking for some fun summer activities for the kids.
We went to Discovery Place (downtown) and Discovery Place Kids. Would definitely go back to both - they were great.

Sounds like a ton of fun was had by all Ali. No mistaking you two for sisters either.

Popsicles in the living room!! You are either very brave or you have very neat kids!

Love the girls in their matching pajamas. So fun...and brings back memories of all the matching outfits my one-week-younger cousin and I wore. And that just sparked an idea for a layout!
