March Madness is over
















............Although I've survived countless hours of basketball games at home this month , I've still not managed to post anything new since January!

We spent spring break relaxing--riding bikes, seeing Bridge of Terabithia and Charlotte's Web. The highlight of the week was going up to Waco with Andrea and her girls; Casey and her girls along with Casey's friend and her awesome son who wanted to be the "wagon puller and kid watcher" most of the afternoon! We arrived in Waco safely only to get lost at Baylor University due to my lack of writing ALL the directions down! What a gorgeous campus! Finally after Casey directed to the "right side of the highway" we made it to the Dr. Pepper Museum.


We had a blast touring the Dr. Pepper Museum and tasting the "real" soda out of the fountain! What great artifacts they have and who would have thought such a "small town" like Waco would develop such a cultural icon such as Dr. Pepper Soda!

After our fill of Dr. Pepper floats, we headed over to Cameron Park to spend the afternoon with the animals! WOW! What a gem of a small and beautifully landscaped zoo! The kids spent a leisure afternoon running all around, playing on the playscape and sliding down a tube slide that was in the otter habitat -the tube went through the water so the otter's swam over the tube with you inside! It was very cool!

The Texas Bluebonnets have begun to pop to life! Look for pictures coming soon!!!! Plus, David has worked hard on the backyard building the retaining wall, so I'll add updates soon!

We are looking forward to April as our good friend's the Haviland's will be coming on Sunday, April 1st. Lauren and Davis will play "hookey" on Wednesday to spend the day with Courtney and Nathan! I am sure I'll have cute photo's to show of our "Minnesota friends". We head to Houston for Easter! Another great photo weekend with the Prijatelj grandkids!
