Spring Break 09

Why spend spring break in San Antonio when we can go to cold Indiana?  That's exactly what we did.  We were really needing a break from all this nice warm weather.  Rob and Carrie were so kind to fly us home for the week and they had all kind of fun things planned for us to do.  Cadynce got to spend a lot of time with her cousins.  She had fun growling at Robbie every time she saw him and she learned very quickly how to upset Aubrey. I think those were her two favorite things to do.  Uncle Chase and Aunt Cat came home the weekend we got there and brought their new dog Rex.  Cadynce wasn't quite sure how to handle such a little dog, but he did a great job putting up with her.  

We kept busy all week and one cool thing we did was a trip to the Fair Oaks Farm.  We got to see a baby calf born and then we took a bus tour of the farm.  During the tour we got out to see where the cows were getting milked. Cadynce was very tired at this point and not acting nice.  We went down by the bus to have a timeout.  Soon everyone started getting on the bus and Cadynce started yelling "wait for me people."  She was so worried the bus was going to leave us there.  Next, we had lunch right there at the farm and we also bought a stuffed cow.  Cadynce still talks about the mommy cow pushing out the baby cow.

Rob, Carrie, and the kids stayed the night at a hotel one night in town so we could use their pool.  It was so cool; they had a big pool, hot tub, and a kiddie pool with a big frog slide.  Cadynce had so much fun on that frog slide.  We took a break from the pool and the whole family had dinner at Bass Pro Shop then it was back to the pool for more swimming.  We eventually made it over to the big pool and all Cadynce wanted to do was jump in.  I got quite a workout that night.  We went back one more time the next morning.  Cadynce really loves the water.

The next night we went to Jump Zone.  Cadynce was a little young, but we did find one she could do on her own.  She had a blast climbing up then going down the slide.  The last thing we did was a trip to the Children's Museum in St. Joe, Michigan.  The kids had fun and Cadynce got to touch a turtle, snake, and an alligator.  

The weather actually turned out to be pretty nice most of the week until it snowed one day.  Right before we came home we got to see Uncle Jeff and Aunt Julie and then Grandpa and Mimi.  It was a nice long trip, but we were ready to get back home and see Daddy.
