Spring Break with Preston & Triston

Preston and Triston are on spring break so George and I picked them up yesterday morning to come spend a few days with us.

Here's Michael when

we picked them up.

We went to Olive Garden for lunch

and then dropped by Barnes & Noble.

Next, we went to see Alice in Wonderland

in 3D. It was good and the 3D was awesome!

After that, we stopped by a carnival that's temporarily set up in the mall parking lot.

George and Preston rode the kamakazi.

Triston didn't want any part of it!

Then, it was on to the

bumper cars for the boys.

When we first arrived at the carnival, Preston wanted to ride the swing but Triston said no. He was quite apprehensive, perhaps a little afraid. After they rode all the rides mentioned above (and a rather lame haunted house ride), we watched the swing for a little while. After observing and with a little coaxing, Triston finally decided that he wanted to try it.

Apparently, they saved the best ride for last because they both said it was their favorite! I love this picture!

George took the day off yesterday to spend time with the kids but he's back to work today so it's just the three of us. It's 55 and sunny at the moment and on the way to the mid 60's so we're headed outdoors to walk the dogs and absorb the pretty day.

Smilin' in the Sunshine,
