We went to the Ringling Brothers Circus in February with some good friends. It was the first time that Casey, Jack or I had ever been to the circus. We had a lot of fun. My favorite part was the elephants.
Here are just a few random pictures I decided to share. Jack loves music, so while Casey studies, Jack will sit on his lap and listen to his music. He also quite enjoys playing games on the I-touch, and it amazes me how young they learn. We gave Jack a haircut recently, and in order to do this we had to sit him in front of the television, watching Nemo, and eating M&M's. The M&M's turned into a hairy mess. Gross.
It was Casey's spring break a couple weeks ago, and we filled the week with fun things to do. We took a trip to Washington DC to attend the temple and see the tourist sights with some of the other first year dental student couples. We stayed only one night, and tried to fit as much in as we could.
We also took a trip to Lancaster, PA, which is Amish Country. We visited Kitchen Kettle Village, Immergut Pretzel Shop (best soft pretzels I have ever tasted!), and the Shady Maple Smorgasbord. The smorgasbord was the biggest restaurant I have ever seen. It wasn't the best food I have ever tasted, but it was definitely an experience. We saw some horse and buggies and several beautiful farms.
I took a day trip to New York with some girls for a temple session, lunch, and wandering in the city. We ate at a delicious pizza place, Lombardi's (I think that is what it was called), which was definitely worth the walk. We wandered through Canal Street and Time Square and got some ice cream. It was so much fun, and I can't wait to do it again.
Casey had a birthday last weekend. We went out to dinner on Friday night for date night. Dave & Tracie and their kids came to visit on Saturday, and we went to Smith's playhouse and played and then to the park for lunch and more playing. Thanks for coming to visit us!
On Sunday, Casey got to open his presents and we had brownies and ice cream. Jack and I love Casey so much and are so grateful for him. He works so hard and still finds time to spend with us between class and studying. He balances his busy life very well, and we appreciate it. Thank you everyone for the birthday gifts and birthday wishes!
I love your post! You guys are staying very busy and seeing lots of great things. We are excited to see you in less than a few weeks. I will be calling soon :-)
ReplyDeleteYay! What a fun post! Happy Birthday Casey... If Lane was any kinda friend at all, he would have called you and wished you a happy birthday, but I highly doubt that happened. So, HAPPY late BIRTHDAY!! I love the pictures of Jack, he is getting so big, and oh so cute! The picture of him on that little bike is hysterical! Miss you guys, hope you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteSo Fun!! I love all the pictures. Jack is growing up so much and looks like you guys are having a lot of fun and great experiences!! I love Jack's face when he was riding the bike thing. It made me laugh:-)
ReplyDeleteHairy M&Ms... mmmm!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you guys had a good time in DC. Next spring break, why don't we have coinciding breaks and meet up? That would make my heart happy! I'm a little bit jealous of how close you are to so many awesome things. The mid-west isn't nearly as exciting!
Hey Linds! It looks like you guys are having so much fun! Miss you. Jack is so damn cute I can't get over it. I love seeing what you are up to on your blog. Its crazy it has almost been a year since you moved huh? Remember good ole rec soccer?
