Spring break

Last week was spring break. The boys and I left on thurs the 18th to go see the 1st rounds of the NCAA tourney in OKC. We were able to see both KU and KSU win. It was a long day, from around 9am till 10pm that night. We decided to make the 3 hrs drive to Dallas instead of getting a room for the night. Steve and Steph are in Los Colinas and we wanted to get there asap. We arrived around 2am.
Fri the 19th, we hung out with Mia at the apartment. Went out for some dinner when Steve and Steph were home from work, but were still recovering from the tiring day before.
Sat, we all just hung out, watched the KU game. Had to watch via computer cuz they were playing the Baylor game instead. KU lost and it was a horrible game. This was supposed to be their year, but they seemed to play less and less like a team toward the end. Anyway, we were pretty depressed for the rest of the night.
Sun, after Steph got home from the hospital, we went shopping at the outlets in Allen(sp?). The weather was cold and windy with some snow/rain. I guess Kansas got hit pretty hard with lots of snow. We also made a stop at IKEA where we got Mia an easel. She had a great time with the chalkboard.
Steve and Steph had to work all week, so it was just us and Mia. Mon we took a picnic to a nearby park, fed the ducks, and blew bubbles. Mia quickly caught on and was blowing bubbles everywhere. Temps were in the 70's! Tues we took Mia to the Ft Worth zoo where she rode the carousel, petted an armadillo, and saw lots of animals. The weather was awesome getting into the upper 70's again. We spent 5 hours there and were exhausted, but had a great time. Mia and I had to sit on a bench on the carousel cuz she wasn't too sure about the horse. Wed, we decided to go to Chuck E Cheese for lunch and some fun. Mia had to do a little warming up to Chuck E, but eventually gave him a fist pound. She refused to ride anything automated, but loved running around looking at all the games and rides. Of course, Caden and Kobe were able to use up all the tokens in a timely fashion. I think, Kobe even refilled his game card once. After we got back to the apartment, the boys took Mia swimming in the non-heated pool. She loved it. Caden about froze to death, but it was fairly warm outside. We spent half the day on Thurs playing with Mia. We left around noon, and Mia was not a happy camper. Neither was aunt kimi. Anyway, we had a wonderful time with them. Mia is getting so big, and is still a very happy child. She will be going to daycare part of the time, which I'm sure she will love. We missed her the minute we drove away. Thank God they are closer.
