One Duck Stuck-Feeding the Ducks

I thought it would be perfect for us to go and feed the ducks today since it goes along with our book, "One Duck Stuck" and our lessons from The Itty-Bitty Bookworm.  What a perfect time to go because we went and feed them and go figure the ducks were totally in the mud.  If you have read the book before the duck is stuck in the muck and asks all these animals to help her get out.  Caden totally loved it!

Zoo trip-Plan B

We said this duck was sad because all the birds were getting to the food first.  When I showed Caden this picture he remembered and said, "Sad Mommy"!  Oh, and yes Caden was eating what he was feeding the ducks.  So we also talked about sharing.

Hannah enjoyed watching all the ducks and birds!

Our friend Ra Ra feeding the ducks!  She is a pro!

Last week we went to the Zoo with our friend Ra Ra.  When we got there there were tons of school buses and me and Liz looked at each other and said, "Plan B".  We were not about to go into the Zoo with all the schools that seemed to be on field trips that day.  So we decided to feed the ducks, go on a train ride, and have a picnic at the park.  The kids didn't know any different and plus they had a great time.  

Fun at our newly renovated Children's Museum

We had a such a nice time at our newly renovated Children's Museum with our awesome Mee-Maw.  It was very crowded, I'm sure it was because it was still spring break for others.  I was kind of disappointed in the new Totspot!  It just wasn't as colorful and hands on as the other Totspot was.  The kids enjoyed the new one so that's all that matters.  The other parts of the Museum are really neat though. 

It was so funny because when we got there all Caden wanted to do was find all the cars and line them up!  Exactly what he does at home majority of his day!  Too funny!   

Hannah enjoyed climbing up the soft little stairs in the baby area.  She loved it!  She also loved the kissing herself in the mirror!  lol  Did you see the picture of my twins!  Heeeee  How adorable if there were two of Hannah!

Hannah's first day at the beach

Friday we took Hannah to the beach for the first time!  She had a great time!  We had this blanket thing we sat on and she stayed on it the whole time.  When we took Caden for the first time when he was little he would not stay on the blanket.  He would eat sand, roll in sand and get messy from head to toe (that's what boys are supposed to do, right!).  Hannah would go to the edge of the blanket and pick up the sand and let it fall out of her little hands.  She was just fascinated to look at all the people and boy where there a lot of people (spring break).  

After about 45 min. at the beach everyone was getting  hungry.  So our plan was to take the stroller and walk along the sea wall to the restaurant were we would eat.  You know what?  The plan worked, no fussing everybody was happy!  We ate at the restaurant and then walked back.  Still everyone was happy!  Then we even went back and played a little more on the beach.  There was still no fussing.  They both did so great!  What a great time at the beach!!!!

Rodeo with Caden

We had such a fun time with Caden at the Rodeo!!!!!  I did not think we would get to see Keith Urban last night but Caden made it through and he loved it.  First we went and saw all the animals and he couldn't get enough of them.  When we got to the stadium he was a little overwhelmed with the loud stadium but when the fireworks blared he was defiantly in shock and just stared and stared.  The music came on then he was mesmerized (spelling?).  He had a great time!  Oh, and Keith Urban was awesome!!!!!!  

Zoo

It was a beautiful day so off we went to the Zoo with our friends.  We had such a great time!!!  The kids really enjoyed themselves.  I thought for sure that we would have a good nap when we got home.  I don't know if this happens to every other Mom, but my kids fell asleep right when we pulled out of the Zoo.  When we got home 3o minutes later they were up and not a chance of them falling back asleep.
