Spring Break Continued

During spring break we took the kids to Chuck E Cheese.  While we were there Madilyn spent the majority of her tokens on a game where you try to hit a button at just the right moment so the rotating lights will stop on a prize.  She won three bags of cotton candy in the process but she really wanted to hit the Jackpot (100 tickets).  The sweet thing showed Andrew how to play...
and when he randomly smacked the stop button quess who won the jackpot!
Madilyn very graciously was so excited for him.
(Maybe because she knows that I pool all their tickets together and then divide them between the two of them.  This way she gets better junk from the prize counter.)  
Papa Ron kindly sat on baby duty while we all played.
As far as the rest of spring break went, we took the kids to a kid's "museum" (kind of a disappointment) in town.  Forgot the camera but that's ok because they mainly hung out on the jungle gym of the museum and then were ready to leave after an hour.  I think they would have been just as happy at a McDonald's playland.

Mamu and I snuck out to the antique shops on Main St. and enjoyed some girl time while Papa Ron and Tim watched the kids.

Went to the park and ate out often so cooking duties were light.  

Thanks Mamu and Pops for a fun spring break.




Spring Break

  Tim's Mamu and Pops braved the serious amounts of pollen which put most people around here into allergy fits and came to play with us during Madilyn's spring break.  (Poor Mamu is just now recovering from her exposure Tulsa's spring blossoms.)

Papa Ron brought a bag of quarters which he carried with him on every outing and Madilyn and Andrew were treated to gum balls at every stop.  It was a big hit!  
I love this picture.  After a morning of running around, we all enjoyed a nice afternoon outside.   Madilyn and Andrew were enjoying time playing with a neighbor from across the street and Eliza very contentedly lounged with Mamu.
