Curious George

I can guarantee each and everyone of us know who this is? It's fun to see that a character I liked as a little kid is still around for my daughter to enjoy!

Since 1941, Curious George has made all of us laugh with his silly adventures. There are books, dolls, socks, clothes, toys, etc. all about George but, now there is a MUSICAL! George and all his friends, including the Man in the Yellow Hat, sang and danced for an entire show.

With George in hand, looking over the main lobby of the theater.

We did happen to catch a quick photo with George. If you know Dawson, you know she's not keen on dressed up creatures unless you are CINDERELLA! Notice the expression on her face!

And the finale...George and the Man in the Yellow Hat...friends for life and another good lesson learned!

Easter Pics...

Better late than never! I've had these pictures ready to go and just have not had time to post in the past week! So here's a little Easter, a little late!

The hunt begins....

One in the tree.

HMMM...nothing in this egg.

Look how many I have!

And some after Easter fun...back to the swingset!

She just flies down this slide......and laughs the whole way down. Another good investment on my part...the swingset!

Friends...

Dawson and I are both so lucky to have such good friends. Throughout the past few years we have really met some amazing people and developed some new friendships. We have so many commonalities amongst us it's almost scary! The more we get together with Lynn, Kyle, Grace, Aimee, Andy and Mayna, the more the girls interact and laugh together. I love the way the girls are having so much fun laughing and being silly!

Going Home

We are on our way home. It was not too hard for Dawson to wheel her own bag and carry along her shopping bag. I am so in trouble when she's a teenager!

Taking a long needed rest on the airplane! It got very quiet for a moment and I turned around and here she was....crashed! It's been a lot of fun and a lot of play for the past week. Time to get home and recover!

Still hanging out at the beach

Just one more day left but, today we were still......

Talking to the alligator telling him to come over...she was trying to avoid the waves that kept moving him out into the water.

digging....

Making sand castles...

Just one more day of this relaxing beach vacation. We are looking forward to coming home to coloring our eggs and seeing our friends for an Easter egg hunt.

More beach fun...

Our third day consisted of.......

We started out our day at the beach burying our feet....

Running in and out of the water....

Wrapping up in towels.....

Going to the pool to swim like a mermaid..... Dawson was in the water for four straight hours. She did not even get out to eat!

Just walking around in the water and loving life!

My Castle:

Yesterday was our first full day at the beach and pool. When I say full, I mean we were there from 10-4 without ever leaving. When it was time to leave the beach, we left kicking and screaming! We took shifts for lunch so that she could stay and play! (I brought her lunch to the beach since she has been so excited I can hardly get her to eat anything at all!)

We spent hours running in and out of the water. Dawson was laughing and wanting everyone to chase her all around. I think she wore about 4 adults out by the end of the day!

Next, comes castle building. These two were hard at work building a deep and large castle for Dawson. If you look carefully, you can see she is in the middle trying to help. I like how focused everyone is...and if they knew I put this picture in, I would be in trouble!

This girl did not stop helping until the castle was done! I made her take break and smile for a picture!

And finally a quick lunch break! She was starving after all that hard work! Off to bed so we can hit the beach again tomorrow!
