Spring Break 2009! (last ever...)

So, we had a very busy Spring break. I might have to break down my post into two separate ones in order to post all the pictures I'd like to. We started out visiting Aunt Lizzy at Asbury College in Kentucky. Brody was happy to ride on an airplane for the first time and he did surprisingly well. He either slept or ate pretty much the whole time. (I'll post pictures from this on my next post if I have time).

After that we went to Columbia and got to see pretty much the entire family. Exceptionally fun was Brody and my trip to Edventure with Aunt Carrie, cousins Maggie & Henry and Grandma. Here are some pictures to show you just how much fun it was:


First we started out our day at Cracker Barrel...YUM.



On our way to Edventure the children happily anticipated what joy was awaiting them....or they let the pancakes sit heavily in their tummies and they fought sleep (whatever)!





Here we are inside the belly of Ed. He, too had eaten pancakes for breakfast.




So, Brody absolutely went bonkers over the giant fire-truck that they had set up for the kids to play on. They had little fireman outfits which I of course put on him.

He wouldn't really stay still for a picture... too much excitement.
Brody was happiest driving the truck I believe.

Which, in turn, made Maggie a little nervous.

As you can see here-Brody was pretty much happiest driving anything they had set up with handles. He also drove a car, tractor, and a moped.
Maggie's wintery tail included making friends with a penguin.
Here we are in the desert:

In Africa, Aunt Carrie, AKA (to some) Mommy, whipped out some of her mad tribal skills and lead the group in a tribal dance. It was really cute. The room had a TV monitor and you could see everyone dancing in it. The green screen behind and beneath them made it look like they were dancing with a bunch of African tribal members. It was great. My personal highlight of the day.



This next picture captures why I loved this room so much... so cute.And of course, how else does one finish the day except by riding in Papa's "tractor"?
We really had a good time on our trip! :)
