Nephews!

Last weekend I spent the morning with my oldest nephew Carson.  We had a very time planned.
It started with stopping by our local police station for their open house.  He got his finger printed, played basketball and jumped in the bouncy house.

Then we went to the spray park which was the coolest place I have seen for young kids.  The best thing about it was that it is FREE!

Later on after naps we met up with my brother in law and his family with their 2 boys to go fishing.  The boys were so excited and had a great time even if they only pretended to catch fish with their plastic poles.

National Zoo

My sister is in town visiting with my nephews.  Since I had a week day off we decided to take the boys to the national zoo.  I was pretty excited since I have only been to this zoo once before.

We started out in the visitors center to use the restrooms and get a map to know where we were going.

We saw the slothbear, otters, pandas, elephants and turtles.  What a long and tiring day with two small boys and only one stroller!

 

 

Bahamas

We are very fortunate that my in laws have a timeshare on Paradise Island, Bahamas and invited us to tag along for a few days.  My husband has been there several times growing up and I have also been to the island twice before but only a day trip while on a cruise, this time was nice being able to relax and enjoy the sights.

Free drinks on the plane from our awesome airline attendant = vacation mode!

We had lunch at my favorite place Señor Frogs, the atmosphere always puts you in a great mood.

The view from our balcony of the beach was just what we needed to get away from reality

Most days were spent at the pool and beach!

We went to Atlantis a couple times to the casino and doubled our money on the nickel slot machines, we are not big gamblers but it was fun.

The time always goes quickly but it was great to get away for a few days!
