Trip to NC/SC

 
 We spent a wonderful relaxing weekend with Aunt Jan and Uncle Bert at their lake house in South Carolina.  It was a much needed get away for all of us and we can't wait to go back!

 Rhodes loved being behind the wheel of the boat and begged to go again and again.

We were able to make a quick trip to the NASCAR Hall of Fame before heading to the airport to fly home.  Rhodes loved playing in the kids area while Drew test drove some of the race cars.

Fun in Texas

We made a trip to Gigi and Papa's house to see Aunt Cathy, Uncle Brett, Kenadie, and Zachary.  It was so good to see them and wish they lived closer so the cousins could play more often.

Pictures were attempted in their new Easter outfits that Gigi bought but that didn't really work out too well.   They decided to play with bubbles instead.

 Papa took the kids to the park to play on all of the toys and to run off some energy.

Zoo Day

Since Rhodes loves animals and trains we decided to take him to the Memphis Zoo for a family fun day.

Riding the train was the highlight of his zoo trip.  If we could've bought a season pass for the train we would have.  He did not want to get off.

 The other favorite of the day was riding the carousel.

Pops was able to join us for our family fun day at the zoo!

War Paint

Rhodes and Daddy got a little crazy with the markers in the bath tonight.

Bubbles

Playing with bubbles has become one of Rhodes' favorite things to do in the afternoons.

Another Snow Day

 We are yet again experiencing snow.  We feel like we are living in Colorado with the amount of snow we have had this year.  It is still like a blizzard outside with no sign of the snow stopping. At noon we already had 6 inches.

 Ready to play with Rebel in the snow.

nice and warm inside!
