Spring Break

We headed north to Michigan for Chad's Spring Break a couple of weeks ago. Here are some pics of the fun we had.



Brielle LOVED hanging out with her cousins. Here they are in their fort. This picture just cracks me up because you can see Brielle's smiling face peering through the two blankets at the top of the fort.

Thanks to Brookie, Brielle is starting to find her feminine side as they are sporting their little tutus and dancing all around.


Brielle had a great time at the Children's Museum playing with the bubbles...


...and playing in the car by the drive thru bank window...


...and going grocery shopping




The following night Kim and I thought it would be fun to have a "girls night out" and take Brooke and Brielle to the Disney Princesses on ice (my emphasis is on THOUGHT here). Well...do you all recall the blog post where I had mentioned Brielle was afraid of the grass? She has since overcome that fear, but we must now add Disney Princesses on the list of scary and horrendous things. Yes, you read correctly...Jasmine, Belle, Ariel, Snow White, Cinderella...all of them...scary.

Here we are before the show begins...Brielle is having a good time checking things out...but then

...out skates Tinkerbell and this is Brielle for the ENTIRE first half of the show (I am not exaggerating!) She had her head in my shoulders the whole time!

And here we are at intermission...sweet thing eating her Smarties...having a good time.

And the 2nd half of the show...this time she even got bored with the girls sitting behind us and decided to take a snoozer!
Needless to say, we still had a great evening. It was so fun watching Brookie enjoy the show and screaming hello at Snow White from 20 seats up. Brielle just made it a little more memorable for us. (As you can see, this picture was taken while the show was still going on...she wouldn't turn around for anything!)

Thanks for all the fun...we had a great time!

It was great to see you :)
I can't believe Brielle didn't like the princesses...at least it will give her something to laugh about if she starts liking them someday!

Okay, I just laughed out loud...REPEATEDLY. The end of the post about the ice show is HYSTERICAL! Sorry you have something else to add on your traumatizing list (although, truth be told -- she'll probably encounter much more grass than Princesses, so you're probably good-to-go...). ;)

Cute pictures!

Clare had the same reaction to a 4-D Elmo show at Busch Gardens. It was in a dark theater, and she was fine until the seats started shaking and bubbles fell from the ceiling. Panic set in, and we had to leave.
