Texas State Aquarium

We took the kids to the Texas State Aquarium while in Corpus.  That is the best aquarium I have seen.  There was even a splash park there.  Too bad we did not know that or we would have taken swimsuits and towels for the kids.

They had a great time feeding the stingrays. 

 
This turtle got stuck in plastic and lots one of it's flippers.  We got to watch them feed this turtle.  He liked to eat shrimp.  I would not want to have this guy mistake my finger for a shrimp...he can do some damage.

 In front of the dolphin area.  We had to convince them this was not a real dolphin.

We got to get an underwater view of the dolphins swimming.

 Glade's favorite...the shark!

We had a great time!  Thank you Grammy and Pappy for taking us to the aquarium!

Seagulls

While at Port Aransas we fed the seagulls. You know the scene from Nemo where they are all shouting Mine, mine, mine?? Yep that is what it was like!

We just threw the bread up in the air and the birds would catch it.  We were surrounded!

 Mom had some come take the bread out of her hand.

Thankfully no birds made a mess on us while we were feeding them!  They had the perfect opportunity too!

Our First Trip to the Beach

We met Grammy and Pappy a couple weeks ago for a stay at their house.  They decided to take us to the beach.  Here we are on our way!

 The kids had such a good time playing in the sand and running in the waves. Addison let Pappy bury her in the sand.  She was buried up to her shoulders after I put the camera away...of course!

 I took them out a little further into the water.  Addison loved it until she saw the fish jump right in front of us.  That is why her legs are sticking straight out.  She did not want her feet anywhere near the water!

 Glade enjoyed letting the waves come up over him!  Needless to say they had sand all over them!

 Here we drove to a different beach in Port Aransas.  We rode a ferry to get there.  The kids had so much fun but would not get out of the car while on the ferry.  It was super windy!!

SpLaSh DaY

We were splishin' and a splashin'

Slippin and Slidin'

First we had lunch outside!

 Then we started with the water fun!  Of course the first thing Glade did was squirt me with the water squirter!

 Such sweet friends!

Addison wanted Ms. Erin to go with her, but she didn't wait for her to slide down with her!  Glade wanted me to go with him and I said no. (I did not have a change of clothes) He said, "but Ms. Erin did it!  Sorry bud!

Graduation

Last week was our Preschool program and Graduation.  I cannot believe I am posting about graduation.  It seems like just yesterday we started at preschool and the kids were babies in the nursery.  I am having such a hard time with our chapter of preschool closing.  I have to admit I have shed a few tears.

The kids perfomed a couple songs and played some instruments to show all they have learned in music this year!

Then we got all dressed in our caps and gowns and they walked across the stage to receive their diplomas!  We are so proud of these two.  They have grown into some really special kiddos!  We pray that God will watch over them as they start a new chapter in their lives. (Mommy could use some watching over too as I watch my babies walk into to school on that first day!)

Spring Pictures

Oh how I love preschool pictures! They always turn out so great, thanks to the Bradshaw's at Picture Perfect. I will so miss these pictures, school pictures just aren't the same!

Zoo field trip

We went on the annual preschool field trip to the zoo and this year Tim and the kids went too!  It is hard to believe our preschool days are coming to an end.  It was a great day for our family.

 This picture brings tears to my eyes!  This group has grown up together.  I cannot believe they will all be going separate ways next year and starting Kindergarden!  Seems like just yesterday they were in the nursery together.

 Addison's favorite animal was the giraffe.

 Wrestling the gator

 Baby and mommy chimpanzee

 Glade's favorite was the rhino

 The new koala's.  They were sleeping in the trees and so cute!
