We had a great spring break and if you still get a spring break we hope yours went well too! We took a few day-trips and got to see some of our favorite people in some of our favorite places. First off...the zoo with the Pakizers.
Charlotte wanted to match some of the animals so we set her up with a giraffe print onesie and she fit right in.
Here she is taking a look at some monkeys. We often make comments about how Charlotte resembles a monkey, so once again she fit right in.
Obligatory family shot.
Great silhouette of Charlotte peeking at some bengal tigers.
Besties enjoying the beautiful weather we had for our zoo trip.
Next stop, down to the outer banks for a few days with 3/4's of the Smith family. The kids as usual, having a great time together.
Kaleb and Kathryn's aunt Amy picked up some of those colored bubbles and fun ensued.
It appears that Charlotte is bleeding, but nope, just some purple colored bubbles!
The next door neighbors had a great little dog named Ally, that Charlotte absolutely adored. I like this action shot because it looks like both of them are running
The three of us went for a long walk on the beach (which Charlotte can now add to her eHarmony profile of things she enjoys).
Because the Smiths are midwesterners like us, we decided to make some Cincinnati style chili and Charlotte was not shy around it whatsoever.
If you're still with us, we rounded out our spring break week with a trip to Northern Virginia and Washington DC to visit Akim, Meg and Baylor. The kids are only 6 months apart, so they loved every minute spent playing together even though Baylor is much older and more mature than Charlotte :)
Great shot of Meg and Baylor playing in the tot lot in their neighborhood.
The kids romping around the equipment.
And finally, we stopped by the National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade. It was the centennial celebration complete with all of the parade elements you would expect.
The kids didn't take morning naps, so by the time we got to our spot on Constitution Avenue they were zoned out. After about 45 minutes they got interested and started to check things out.
Charlotte deep in thought...
Like mother like daughter. We wonder where she gets her hairstyle from?
President and First Lady 2055.
After the parade a quick diaper change that ended up being a few minutes of pant-less fun.
And thats our spring break. It went by quickly, but we had a great time. Big thanks to both families for letting us crash with them and spend a few days together.
