Tulip Festival


Last week I took the girls to the Tulip Festival. Jim was busy in the field so he did not get to come along. It was a fun night for everyone. We went on the ride first which was a good thing. They rode the horses which was Avary's favorite. I would of let them ride all night but the ticket prices were way to much. Cassady rode on the alligator roller coaster with Jorja and Sydney (friends) and that was her favorite. Then with the ticket we had left, they rode on the airplanes.


After the ride, we watched the parade. The girls thought the bands were the best. They would stand in one spot and march with them. It was so cute. They even pretended to be a marching band the next day at home. It was so funny!! Here they girls are watching the parade with Gracie (cousin) and Sydney (Cassady's friend).


After the parade, we headed to the Pizza Ranch for my nephew, Jax's birthday party. So needless to say, the girls had a great time - rides, parade, Pizza Ranch, birthday party and cake. It doesn't get much better then that.

Spring is here and we are loving it!!!

We had tulips in the front of the house and the girls LOVED smelling them. I am pretty sure they did it everyday. The tulips were quite pretty, but unfortunately the wind destroyed them.

The girls also really enjoy blowing bubbles. They get a little dirty and sticky, but they have so much fun. Swing is also a highlight outside. Cassady wants to go as high as possible, but Avary, "just a little push."
"Can we go play ball." That is all we hear. Cassady can really hit the ball, but Avary is still learning. She will swing 3 times and then she is done. She is doing pretty good though. Cassady is starting to think she does not need the tee. So we are practicing and she is doing great. Needless to say, mom and dad are proud.
