Spring Break Visit with the Cousins

Our spring break this year was in early March. It was wet, grey, and cold all week, but that didn't stop us from having a great time! The kids were so excited to make a quick trip to White Oak to visit MeMe, Grandaddy, and the Morgan cousins. We made sure to pack in as much fun as we could!


We arrived late one night in White Oak, so it was already time for PJs and teeth brushing.

Bunk bed time!

Kaitlynn and Marissa tried sharing a bunk bed.

Tea party time with Uncle Jeb and Aunt Alli.

Since the weather was so cold and dreary, we headed out to grab some lunch and take the kids bowling. They loved it!

Our gang ate lunch at the Butcher Shop, yum!

Time for bowling with the cousins!

Kaitlynn and Marissa were very protective of their bowling balls and stood guard in between each turn.

Alli and Jeb had their own friendly competition on the side.

Grandaddy couldn't resist a few frames.

On the way back to MeMe's house after bowling, we made a little detour for a trip down memory lane. We drove down Donald Drive to see my childhood home. I was raised there from when I was a baby all the way until I left for my 2nd year of college. Soon after, my parents moved to White Oak so I hadn't seen my old home since. It was surreal driving past and remembering those days long ago!! Sniff sniff.

After I took that picture, I texted it to Grandaddy and Jeb who were driving in a different vehicle. Funny enough, when they got my text, they were doing the SAME thing -- driving by the old house! So they upped the ante a bit and actually took a selfie there by the house. Love it!

Back at MeMe's house, we decided to have a tea party to celebrate the Morgan girls' spring birthdays. We used the fine china along with Butcher shop petit fores and Grandaddy's orange soda to make it the perfect birthday treat for the girls.

Ready for the tea party!

Who's ready for cake and orange soda!

Cheers!

Later that night, we joined Robin and her family for some playtime at the local trampoline place called Air U. Aunt Alli wasn't all that excited about this place because someone always gets hurt. But we braved on and managed a fun night. That is, until a full-sized male teenager jumped full-speed into the foam pit RIGHT ON TOP of Kaitlynn! She was OK but it could've been extremely bad. Maybe I'll be avoiding these places in the future like Aunt Alli!


Some of our gang stopped long enough for a quick pic.

Cousin Karlie worked on her tumbling.

The next day, we grabbed some lunch and then decided to see a movie with the cousins. We made a pit stop at Walgreens for a movie treat first. Some of our group saw Cinderella while the others saw Sponge Bob. Both movies were great by the kids smiles and expressions!


Candy time!

Marissa and Kaitlynn watched Cinderella - I LOVED this movie!

The oldest 3 cousins saw Sponge Bob and are still laughing about it!

Always the sign of a great time together with cousins.
