More Of What We Did On Spring Break

Here's a few more pictures from Spring Break.  We went to the zoo on Thursday and the carousel was running for a change.  We had to ride of course.  

Austin stayed busy the rest of the time so I didn't get many more pictures.  But he was sacked out on the ride home.

Friday evening we played with some chalk on the sidewalk in front of the house.  This was a HUGE step for me since I absolutely despise the texture of chalk.

Naturally, we had to have a bath after :)

For Sam

Well, since Sam gave up Facebook for Lent, I'm finally getting around to updating the blog.  We had a playdate at the park today and there were so many sweet pictures to share.

 Lisa brought tennis rackets and a ball.  It was a miracle that no one got whacked by one.  Austin was of course the most coordinated :)

Then we moved onto sliding the ball and I would shoot it back up to him just like in ski ball!

All the kids used the slides to climb up instead of the steps or the swirling stair case of doom!

Austin and Owen of course had this mastered while Sarah and I stood there cringing but not saying a word.

Best friend, Owen.  Owen and Austin are in the same class at school.

Best friend Allison.  Allison's daddy is in the Air Force and used to be Sam's squadron

Austin being sweet.  This only lasted a few minutes.  Allison will grow up to be an independent woman who doesn't need a man to lead her around :)

My sweet and happy boy!

Sweet Paige!  I get to take her picture next weekend!

Sweetness!

That's about it!  We've got a few really good friends here in Little Rock that make things bearable while Sam is away.  Anything that gets Austin to play with his friends for a bit is a welcomed distraction.
