Maggie's Turns 2!
Since Maggie's birthday fell on the same day as Brett's wedding we decided to celebrate with family while we were in Atlanta. That meant the Braves' game on Friday night and then the Atlanta Zoo on Saturday after the wedding festivities were over. Turned out to be a fun plan even if it was exhausting for all of us.

Easter and Spring Break trip
Our Easter and spring break all rolled into one trip. We were able to spend Easter with Aunt Melanie and UNC this year and then traveled on to the Great Smoky Mountain Railway for a fun train ride and some other mountain activities.
We started our mountain visit with a fishing trip. We found the perfect fishing plan for small kids with short attention spans. It's a trout farm so the pond is VERY well stocked and we caught six fish in 20 minutes, and it only took that long because we were teaching Mac how to cast without hooking his little sister.
Next was our train ride:
The train ride was really fun although I don't know why a train ride designed largely for children is 4 hours long. We fairly quickly went from this:
to this:
And no there were no naps taken AT ALL.
Our day finished up with a short hike to a pretty waterfall. I think the kids were really excited to be out running around.

Okay, trying to catch up...
So it's been a REALLY long time since we posted. It seems that things have been extremely busy lately, which also means that there are alot of things to post about so I'm going to try to catch up on the last few months.
Let's start with Mac's birthday (a mere 3 months ago...)
Mac has been crazy about Legos so we knew that a Lego theme would be perfect. It turned out great and we all had an awesome time.
We had several Lego themed games, but I think the boys had the most fun when they went outside to play. It was really a little cold, but they played football and tackled each other. We were pleased that no one had to go to the ER after that.
It's been so long since these pictures were taken that I hardly recognize these kids. :)
