ICE SKATING!!!
We went to the outdoor River Rink at Penns Landing on Friday evening; the day when we reached a high of 68 degrees!
Daddy and Bella skated together all night.
I have a feeling we'll be back again.

Spring was in the air. . .
but we did a very un-springy activity.
We went to the outdoor River Rink at Penns Landing on Friday evening; the day when we reached a high of 68 degrees!
Bella sustained a few falls, one that left her in tears. But she got right back out there and had a blast. At the end of the night, there were more tears - only this time because it was because she didn't want to leave.

Sesame Place!
We met up with our friends at 2:45 pm - which meant that we informed Bella about our outing around 2:00 pm. A few weeks prior, she went to Sesame Place with these same friends. We didn't go - it was just her. Her first big outing without us. She talked about all of the fun she had and wanted all of us to go sometime. "You will love it!" we heard over and over.
Upon arrival, she became the unofficial tour guide; pointing out all of the highlights from her previous trip.
The day was so HOT! A quick dip in the wading pool was just what we all needed.
With the little guy attached to me, I just got my feet a little wet.
With the exception of the one time I woke him up to eat, Curtis slept on me the ENTIRE time! 
That night, he slept for 8 hours!!! It was his first time sleeping through the night. (It was unfortunately very short lived as the past two nights he's been up every hour).
Andy took Bella on all of the rides. It was a pretty crowded day which meant lots of lines. Here they are in line for the lazy river.
Graydon watched the parade of Sesame Street characters while Andy and Bella were in the water.
Here they come!
The evening ended with a roller coaster ride.
Bella was one happy little girl!

The carnival came to town. . .
Over the course of Bella's life, we have learned a good lesson:
Do not inform her of fun upcoming plans until it's actually time to go (or you will be asked every five minutes for the next several hours if it's time to go yet).
So on this Wednesday evening, it was very fun to answer Bella's daily question of "what are we doing tonight?" with "we are going to the carnival!" The only potential glitch was the cloudy skies and forecast of possible rain. While Bella was changing in her room, Andy overheard a little prayer escape from her mouth:
"God, please let it not rain tonight. But if it does. . . I forgive you."
We wasted no time upon arrival. First stop: Ferris Wheel. I have to admit, I got a little emotional when I saw Bella up so high in the air. I have no idea why.
I blame it on the pregnancy hormones.
Graydon, too, was pretty captivated by how high they went.
Next ride: Carousel
We ran into some friends, so Bella had a ride buddy for the rest of the evening.
The Dragon: Bella's first roller coaster!
Graydon looked on. 
I started to feel a little bad for Graydon, stuck in the stroller. Too little for most rides. One ride that he could do was the carousel.
So we headed back.
It started out great, but our little guy got a bit nervous as the ride progressed and slowly began to grip onto Andy pretty tightly.
He had his fill of rides after at.
And was completely content to sit in the stroller for the rest of the evening.
Old-fashioned cars. 
The huge slide called out to Bella all night. We kept putting that one off and yet she persisted. This one made me the most nervous. She just made the 42 inch height requirement. If she had worn different shoes, she may not have. The slide was so big and she looked so little as she climbed all those metal stairs with the potato sack draped over her shoulder. I had visions of her falling down the stairs or flipping forward while sliding down the long track.
Bella, on the other hand, felt nothing but adrenaline and exhiliration.
Our little thrill-seeker at the bottom of the slide. . . ready to go again.
Before our night ended, both kids got their first taste of cotton candy.
And Bella got the answer she wanted to her prayer: no rain!

Take me out to the ballgame. . .
Daddy's ballgame, that is.
Tuesday night was the first game of the season and we all came to watch. I use "watch" loosely as my main watching was on this little guy, trying to keep him OFF the field. I did manage to see Andy catch a few balls though.
The guys lost the game, but they did have one of the cutest fans.
