Santa Fe

We got back this week from a fabulous visit to Santa Fe to see Nana Suzanne! We were hopping for sunny warm weather...it being the desert and all. But it was partly cloudy, cold, and it even rained! Despite not being able to wear the shorts and short sleeved shirts we brought we had a fabulous time!!

Our two big boy travelers!

Our first day there we walked to our favorite place in Santa Fe...the Children's Museum.
Our favorite things to do there were being a construction builder...
...playing with big bubbles


...and our most favorite was the BIG sand box with 'real' shovels that were, in the boys words, 'just their size'. They could have stayed there all day.
Walking back to Nana's house after we finally convinced them to leave the sand pit.

Nana also took us to a really cool climbing gym. The boys got to wear special climbing shoes and harness. They loved saying that they were wearing 'gear'. Dylan is ready to climb to the top of the ceiling.
Cole's not so sure he wants to go to the top.
Nana made the boys so happy by providing just the right toys!!
We all liked going for hikes to search for new things to look at. Big ant hills were usually a highlight. Here Cole found a soft mullen leaf.Taking a snack break from one of our hikes.

Nana also took us to a dairy goat farm where we got to feed baby goats with bottles. We were all helping and having so much fun that we really didn't get any photos of feeding the babies, but we also had fun playing with the little ones after the feeding.
Thanks for such a fun and adventurous visit Nana! We can't wait to head back to Camino Cacto!!

Wacky Wacky

Dylan was invited to a birthday party at Wacky Bounce...so we all decided to go and play. I think Daddy probably had the most fun. Because Rob would go in the bouncy things and play with the boys all the other kids were intrigued and would follow him from one bouncy apparatus to the next. Then they would all tackle him once he was inside. I'm surprised no one ended up with an elbow in the eye!

Cole catching air.
Dylan liked to just fling himself on animals within the different scenes. Here he is about to pounce on the alligator.
Once the bouncing ended Daddy took Cole out for a treat and Mom and Dylan stuck around for cake. How did Dylan manage to get this seat out of about 25 other kids??



Later that day we headed out for some contra dancing that some friends band were playing for. The boys participated in the group dance until we had to switch partners...then they wanted nothing to do with it. So we danced on the sidelines while listening to the music.
Cole made a little friend while we were there...she was a cutie! Here she is putting something in Cole's pocket.
Dancing boys!

Happy Happy Weekend

We had a fun weekend of bunny tails and rain storms.

We started off the weekend with good oral hygiene...

It's the best sitting on your brothers lap while brushing!

Daddy helped us start the weekend off with a blast by making pancakes with blueberry sauce (we are almost out of our frozen blueberry stash from last summer!!).



Dylan and mommy made sure to do our sit ups...with Cole as the task master.
Of course we had to do some work in the yard...I guess Dylan was expecting more than just rain.
And the Easter bunny came and hid some eggs for us to find!
How did the Easter bunny know we LOVE animal crackers and dried cherries???
And thanks to Grandma and Grandpa, Mom and Dad got to go out on a date!! Yeah for date night!!!!
