A little of this and that

As usual, I forget the camera and take pictures with my phone when we go fun places. Here we are at Museum of Natural Curiosity. We spent many hours exploring, reminiscing (it's been a while since we've been here), playing and having fun with our cousins.

Jack built this giant Lego tower...to show you how tall it is Lilly is standing in it.
Outside the kids were able to pet a lizard.

We spent a lot of time outside, we feed giant coye fishes. It was so fun to see them, they'd probably eat or suck on your finger if you feed it to them. Bill brought the girls over, we had a great time.

That night, the kids had a flashlight egg hunt at the Jones' We all brought 12 eggs for each kid to go find. It was so much fun! A new tradition to look forward to every year.
Saturday night, Maddy and I went to the Women's Conference. We sat By Rachel and Becca Ferre who she had played with that day. I loved the song they sang. It brought tears to my eyes.
After the conference, we enjoyed a frozen yogurt. We weren't the only ones who had that idea! It was yummy.

Click the link for the video if you were not able to go to the conference. It's amazing. 


Sunday, we celebrated Lilly's birthday. See the post "Look who's 3"
Monday we went to Trafalga Fun Center. It is included on our POAP, we have only been one other time 3 years ago. It was crowded and hot but it was so fun this time. 

We arrived early and had the place to our selves. They were opened extended times for Spring Break. The kids loved the rock wall. 

Here's the birthday girl! 
This ended up being one of Lilly's favorite rides but the first time she was so frightened!
They raced in bumper cars

Even Lexi was tall enough to drive. Actually if you were too tall you couldn't t ride it was only for children.

Lilly loved the swings! And the airplanes and the carousel. 
After lunch Karsyn and Ashlyn came over. Kamryn joined us later after school as did the Wakley's and Tullis.  During the afternoon, Trafalga got a little crowded but never too much that it wasn't fun to be there! We enjoyed 4+ hours here today.
They even have a #mobilefreefall that Jack was the first one of the day to do. You climbed the stairs and jump off into a giant air pad. The first stair wasn't that bad.

But the 2nd set of stairs...was really high. Jack is above the sign that is located on the freeway and above Trafalga building.
But all 3 kids and their cousins and friends were brave and all jumped off. I would have peed my pants! It was really high.

Mr. E Bunny was even there to say hi! These girls walked right over to him and gave him a hug. It's safe to say they've both been to Disneyland and seen lots of characters dressed up and it was ok then so it must be now too!

The kids all got to do a glow in the dark egg hunt. They hide eggs in the laser tag room, turned on the black light and let the kids go find candy filled eggs. It was dark!! But candy was the prize so everyone loved it.
The kids did laser tag later with the whole group. I heard it was a hot sweaty time and fun by all!
They even had bunnies and chicks outside to pet. The water ride left the kids soaked but they didn't mind it was in the 70's and March.

We left Trafalga and headed to Firehouse Subs for a quick dinner before heading to baseball practice for the night. After practice the kids played outside and then we came inside and sang Happy Birthday to Lilly and enjoyed leftover cake and ice cream.


It was a great day! Lots of fun at Trafalga!! Kids are already asking to go back. We may just have to hope the spring break crowds aren't too bad! We are officially on Spring Break now...track break ran into Spring Break we head back to school Tuesday!

Oh my gosh! That platform is so high. Brave kiddos!

The pic of Maddy and her friend at lazer tag looks like it belongs in an ad. So cute.
