| I'm free! |
 |
| Making a sand volcano with Claire in it. |
 |
| Thanks for the sand in the face Claire! |
WHAT?!! Those beach photos were from a camping trip???? YES! We live in a cool place where you can drive an hour or so and go camping with a walkway to the beach. This spot was in Dauphin Island, Alabama. We do have a beach a mile or so from our house, but it's cooler to go on trips to really nice beaches somewhere else, and not bring the sand in our house!
 |
| huge tent! Blair found an amazing deal on a big ole tent. |
 |
| yes, a playground at the camp too! |
 |
| Looks like the mountains. You wouldn't think the beach is just beyond those trees, eh? |
 |
| Had to stop at the BBQ place with the pig out front. |
BATON ROUGE, LA
So where is the nearest temple to Biloxi, MS? Yep, 2 1/2 hrs away in Baton Rouge. We visited and then hit a children't museum there to make it a day.
 |
| Xander & Will making lotion, fun! |
 |
| walking around Baton Rouge a bit |
NEW ORLEANS
 |
| Another fun place is New Orleans, just an hour and a half away. We tested out the Children's museum with Claire on a day that Blair had off. |
NOLA Zoo
 |
| We went twice within the last month. It's such a great zoo! Here was a cool Pelican walking around. These things are everywhere down here-not just at the zoo. This was the closest I've been to one though ;) |
 |
| Love those pretty fountains |
 |
| Will making a face for the camera. |
 |
| Where are all my pics of the animals? I don't know, but the kids loved the leaves. |
 |
| Oh, here's a monkey ;) |
EASTER
 |
| Yes I know this was a few weeks ago, it shows how often I post. The kids were lining up for one of the egg hunts here on base. |
 |
| great weather! |
 |
| the loot |
 |
| Check out the ultimate jello I made for Easter dinner with some friends! |
LASERCRAZE
 |
| The boys have been begging us to go to Lasercraze and play some minature golf and laser tag. We finally obliged during spring break, and found out they have a great family deal, so we can go more regularly to Xander's excitement. |
 |
| I'm going to miss my friend Sabrina. She's AirForce & has been a member of the church for a year and a half or so & hangs out with us. Moving to UT in a week or so for BYU, so hope she has a great time! |
 |
| RANDOM: Do you find treasures like these in the wash from your boys' pockets? I could start a rock collection! |
WHERE DO WE HANG OUT FOR A FUN TIME?
Maybe the mall.
 |
| Check out this sand sculpture at the mall by our house. |
 |
| To say that Claire LOVES the carousel at the mall would be an understatement. |
 |
| The boys doing the jump tramps there. |
 |
| We found a frog in the parking lot on the way home. |
THE PRETTY PRINCESS...
 |
| has started tea parties and dress up. |
 |
| Here she saw that her shoe broke. |
 |
| NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! |
