First here are some pictures of the boys helping us to make apple crisp at Gramma and Papa's house back in March. They love to help and were very eager to measure, scoop, pour and stir. It turned out delish!
Hmmmm...let's check the recipe...
They are good little helpers!
On St. Patty's Day we headed out to meet Uncle Lenny and Aunt Kyle at the big mall. We had a fun time hanging out and playing with Len and Kyle for the day. And there was some pretty GIANT food to play on in that mall, too! For 2 boys who are OBSESSED (especially Jack) with Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - this play area was GIANT FUN!
The watermelon made a great slide!
Hopping on a mushroom.
They very much enjoyed dancing around on the watermelon slice. They had a whole game they were playing with each other and singing along to a song they made up. It was pretty cute!
My little cupcakes on the big cupcake!
We had dinner at Rainforest Cafe and as always were amazed by the sights and sounds...
Trying to get jack to pose with Uncle Lenny for a picture but Jack is just way too distracted by the big stuffed frog that was walking around, the Rainforest Cafe mascot frog.
Although he was willing to take a balloon from the frog just as long as he did not have to get too close!
Aunt Kyle trying to get Quent to look for a picture too.
(notice we were all wearing our green for St. Patrick's Day
even though there is not photographic proof, I too was wearing my green!)
The best part of dinner was the end when a diver got into the big fish tanks to clean the glass.
This was really cool!
She even stopped and waved and gave the boys a high five through the glass, they were very impressed. It was a highlight when they told everyone about eating dinner there.
(and just because I want to remember it later, I am including this little story)
On the way out of the restaurant, my darling little Jackson tried to get the five finger discount on a "cadiddlehopper" (what you or I may call a grasshopper). Luckily, Uncle Lenny saw the plastic bug going out with Jack and asked if I had bought it.
Um, no.
So, that was the day we started our discussions - "you cannot take it if you do not pay for it"
Ah, milestones.

We were obviously there this week but steered clear of the giant food in the play area. I know they'd have had a blast, too, but it was dinner time, during spring break and the place was INSANE!!! I'll have to take them back down this summer mid week, off peak hours and let them check it out when its not so crazy.
What a great play area.
