Annual trip to the Botanical Gardens

This picture gets better every year!

Sometimes when I tell Lukey to put his arm around Anna he ends up putting his arm around her neck.

Anna found a lot of snails.

Anna put her snail on a map.  Then she put it back in the wilderness because we wouldn't let her bring it home.

We saw a wild turkey!

The kids wanted a picture in front of the turkey.  You can't see the turkey in the background at all but the picture turned out nice because they were so happy about the turkey that they were smiling good.

Tulip time

We went to Holland for the tulip festival a few weeks ago.  We saw Maeve do her dutch dance then decided it was too windy to walk around much so we went back to the Morgan's house and drank mint juleps and watched the Kentucky Derby.  The tulips we did see were lovely.

The kids had their usual tulip time cotton candy.

Easter

Oops forgot to post these.  They're not good pictures anyways.  The kids had fun finding Easter eggs on Easter though.

Rubik's cube

On Good Friday, Da took the kids to U of M's campus to see the world's largest Rubik's cube.  It was not solved yet.  It was only the second day it was there.  Da thinks that the girl in the picture is one of the people involved in the project.  

OBX

We spent Spring Break in Duck with cousins and Nana and Pa.  The sea looked better than ever!!

The area was even more empty than usual.  There were times that we could look at both sides of where we were on the beach and not see anyone else.  Once, we were out at the beach and it was about 75 and sunny and we had the entire beach to ourselves.  This is about 4 miles one way and 2 another way so it was pretty cool.  

The girls.

The siblings.

The big kids.

The boys. 

I put just a squirt of shower gel in Anna's whirlpool bath and this is what happened!  She was very excited about it.
