Jack is starting preschool this year! I have mixed emotions about this. I know he will love it and it will be great for him but him starting means he is growing up, so that makes me sad :( Here he is on his Mickey Mouse Napmat I made him!
We went to Hobby Lobby together adn he picked out the fabric!
 We also got Haley a new backpack! Last years backpack got a hole in it!
 Haley made Uncles Marcus a sign for his birthday for his workshop. It says "Uncle Marcus' Workshop"

Mini Vacation- Grapevine

We started out our vacation at Legoland!  All I will say about it is that I thought it was overpriced adn very crowded.  We won't be going there again!
 The 4d movie was a lot of fun for the kids though!


 After Legoland we were off to our hotel The Gaylord!!!  We had a blast there!  Thursday night it Texan Appreciation night so they have all kinds of fun stuff to do!  Haley got her hair braided with beads!
 Ready for dinner!




 Posing with the golden man!  It was a real person!
 We played at the pool and the lazy river until 10:30 that night then woke up and went back in the morning! No pictures were taken because there were 3 kids and 2 adults which means no empty hands for a camera!

 Checking out!


 Lunch at the Rainforest Cafe!

 The kids loved watching all of the animals!


 Then we went to the Indoor Safari Park.  The kids loved riding the animals!


 Then it was train rides!

We had a super fun 2 days!
