May Outings

Here are some highlights from our past few weekends.


The rain has not been keeping us from having fun! Last weekend we hit the butterfly house and the kids loved it! Brady chased the butterflies and Kaitlyn had fun finding all the different types on her "butterfly map".









Kaitlyn was invited to a very special tea party, given by her friend Grace. 2 other girls were there and they had a blast! Dressing up, decorating cupcakes and drinking "tea" (or apple juice)...they were so cute all dressed up! She had a great time and made some new friends.










This past week we took our first trip of 2011 to Grant's Farm. We love Grant's Farm and are so glad that it has stayed in St. Louis. We were the only people on the first tram and the first people in the park! Kaitlyn got to feed the very hungry baby goats. We will definitely be making many more visits to Grant's farm this summer!










This Sunday, we decided to venture into Illinois to Eckert's - a family run farm and country store. This weekend was their strawberry festival where they had all sorts of things to do for the kids inluding strawberry picking and pony rides. This kids had a blast and I got 3 1/2 lbs of strawberries for all sorts of yummy treats (already made strawberry mini-muffins!)

A weekend in the city...

Kaitlyn has her first Irish dance feis here in downtown Atlanta. We decided to make a weekend of it (she dances today and tomorrow) and spend the night at the hotel where the feis is being held. We started very early this morning with Kaitlyn dancing just before 9am! She did amazing and placed in both her dances (second in jig; 3rd in reel). After she finished dancing we headed to the children's museum of Atlanta. The kids had a blast trying all the cool things to do. Then we grabbed some lunch in centennial park (it's 65 degrees here so we ate outside!!) and then hit the aquarium. The kids are excited to swim at the indoor pool later and then it's more dancing in the morning!

Kaitlyn's first ATL Irish Dance performance

Since moving to Atlanta, the kids had to get involved in their activities down here. Kaitlyn started Irish dancing at Mulligan School back in August. She competed in her first Southern Region Feisanna in November. Tonight, she performed at her first community event with some of the other girls from the dance studio. She did fantastic. I took several pictures as well as a video of her dancing with the other girls. She will be doing many more performances as she made the Tara Dance Company (which is a handpicked dance team that travels the city in the Spring doing performances). We are quite proud of our little Irish dancer and can't wait to see where her dancing takes us! Here is the video...
