spring break - day 1

This week was our Spring Break. We even managed to get away for a few days... not far away, but away. We packed up and headed to New Orleans for four days. Jeremy had a conference, so we tagged along and booked the hotel for a little longer to really make it a vacation. we took lots of pictures, so I'll take it one day at a time...

Day One: City Park

We headed out early and took the girls to Storyland. The last time we went, Grace was about Marion's age.

Grace hanging on an Oak

Marion says, "Stop stealing my limelight! This is MY picture!"

Ready to go in... Grace was so excited!

My sweet baby!

You know Jeremy was all about the ship!

Water really is Marion's favorite thing! It always gets her excited. I can't wait to see her in the pool this summer!

The girls checking on Snow White...

...and Marion decided she needs CPR! I kid, she was giving Snow White BIG kisses!!

Trying to get walking practice for Marion every chance we get!

Last time Grace was in this carriage, her face was just over the rope!

Marion in the Oaks!

Grace got to the top of the slide and froze up! I think the kid behind her ended up giving her a push!

... the parachute!

Marion had a little lamb :)

Again, my kids love to play in water.

This is the stage of the children's theater. Music was playing and Grace was dancing! She loves to perform!

After Storyland, we went to the amusement park. Wow, they have tons of rides now! We had a blast and stayed all day.

Grace and Jeremy on the rollercoaster that PawPaw picked out when he worked at the park!!

Mommy and Grace! Notice me holding on for dear life and Grace with her hands in the air! I was so proud of her!!!

The girls loved the Carousel! PawPaw oversaw the renovation of the Carousel when he was at the park.
