A Day Out with Thomas

Lily loves Thomas the train so when we found out it was coming to a town kind of close to us (I think it will come closer in October, but who knows if we'll be able to go then) so we decided to take the girls

This is what our last train ride on Thomas was like, so I really didn't want to pay the $20 a person to ride, so when we got there we asked about the $5 tickets to just do all the activities. The guy told us those are only in case the train rides are all sold out, so basically we could just do everything for free!

The girls loved the little petting farm

Ella with hers

Lily wouldn't stop to smile, she was too worried that her coat was covering her tatoo!

Ella and Thomas

Lily was a little nervous to get too close! But she loved him from a distance :)

After we went to eat at Rainforest Cafe

Pictures didn't really turn out very well inside since it was so dark...we sat near the elephants and monkeys which kind of freaked Lily out..which was nice because she would stay in her chair :)

Pershing Park Skate Party

13 weeks

Not sure if it looks like a baby bump or too many trips to McDonalds... :)

BBQ Time!

The weather is starting to warm up, a little too hot for March I think! Our friends(they live in the same housing as us, just up a few blocks) invited us over for a BBQ the other night. They made this yummy green marshmallow, pineapple, pistachio pudding salad..usually that would totally gross me out, but it was SO good..i've been wanting some since! Anyhoo...

We played goofy golf...

Becky and Sam.

Becky and I were on a team..I think between us we scored 5 points the whole game! ha

The kids loved running around and playing with their dog

The End!

Shamrock Sprint

Joe and I did a 5k this morning! Joe did awesome, he pushed both girls in the stroller (and our kids are heavy!) and his time was 30 min. I had one of my worst times yet, but it's been awhile since i've been running so I walked a lot of this one. I was doing really good keeping up with my friend until I noticed my shoe lace was undone..after i bent down and then tried to stand back up I knew I was in trouble! haha So I came in at 38 min which sadly is not my worst time!

Joe and I after the race

We didn't stick around for the awards, joe said since there wasn't a costume categorie we didn't have a chance! haha So instead we went with our friends out to breakfast which was even more fun then standing around waiting to hear we didn't win!

I'm wearing Ellas shirt, we switched since mine was a little too small!

We signed her up to run, but we were up late last night and had to get her up early this morning and she didn't want anything to do with it! ha, I dont really blame her! I would have gladly taken the stroller ride!
