Where did May go?

Hard to believe it's been a month since the last post, I don't know where the time has gone. Here's just a few pictures to summarize some of what we've done.

We enjoyed going to Fit for Fun with Adrienne and Zoe

My Grandma passed away May 9th, here Caroline is helping us pack to go to the funeral. She loves to buckle things, so she strapped herself in the suitcase.
We celebrated my Mom's birthday in Smithfield and Caroline got some quality time in with her younger cousins, Margo and Brayden, while the older ones were at a movie. I think she's teaching them how to properly ride a rocking horse while drinking a cup of milk here.

Travis' cousin and family from South Dakota came down Memorial Day weekend. Caroline had her first bloody nose after meeting these cousins for the first time - she and Aspen accidentally collided while running on the beach in the dark.

For the past couple of weeks, she's reminded me of a little homeless person, loading up her most precious possessions in her shopping cart and pushing it all around the house. She'll put everything in there - dolls, toys, cups, food, blankets, clothes, etc.

And for the past couple of weeks, I've been party planning. I sent out these invitations for Caroline's 2nd birthday party coming up June 13th. I'll be gone for an entire week right before the party so I'm trying to take care of everything before I leave this Friday.

Definitely shouldn't be another month before I post again, we'll have lots of birthday pics in a couple of weeks!

We love Gabba!

I couldn't pass up this singing DJ Lance hat with glassess at Target yesterday. It's from Caroline's favorite TV show Yo Gabba Gabba. She really does like it more than you might think from this picture.

And I think it's cool too. And so does Travis!Her birthday party is going to have a Gabba theme this year too, maybe Travis can dress up like DJ Lance if we can only find a bright orange unitard in his size now...

I've also been meaning to post a few pictures from Fit for Fun with Carl and Alex a couple of weeks ago. Caroline has been there several times before but this was my first time going with her. It's a great place for her age group and she had a blast as usual, especially getting to spend time with her old pals.

Spring Break - Part 2

As promised, here is the rest of our "Spring Break" pictures.

Tuesday we went to the aquarium, which Caroline loves.

After the aquarium, we visited the battleship where Travis was teaching Caroline to shoot big guns and steer the ship

Wednesday was brunch with the Easter Bunny

Followed by some playtime at Jungle Rapids Time flies when you're having fun. We packed a whole lot of fun in a few days and before we knew it our mini vacation with the extended family was over. They left early Thursday morning for the 2 day trip back to Wisconsin.

Spring Break - Part 1

We took an unofficial spring break last week when Travis' family (Grandma & Grandpa, Aunt Donna & Uncle Charlie & cousin Hailey) came down from Wisconsin to visit. Caroline warmed up to everybody quickly and we all had a great time together. They live so far away, we don't get to see them often enough. Travis and I had to work their first day here, but Caroline stayed home and kept them entertained. She showed off her new handstand.And got to ride on Aunt Donna's back like a horse

Saturday was the Azalea Festival and we went to the circus. Caroline was proud of the flower she planted at the Home Depot tent

And she enjoyed an elephant ride with Daddy and cousin Hailey (and some other people)

Sunday we took the boat out to Lee Islands and played in the sand (and the COLD water)

We went down to Myrtle Beach Monday and ate and saw the show at Medieval Times

Spring Break - Part 2 and Easter pics to come later, too many pictures to put on one post.
