Clark's first field trip!

Last week Clark went on his first school field trip. Since Grandma and Grandpa were in town they hung with Dexter while I got to go with Clark to the pumpkin patch... SO fun!

DINO WORLD!!!

In Florida there is this cool place called Dinosaur World... and, as you can imagine the boys love it there. We went last time we were in town and they were beyond excited to go back. This time we met a couple of my "girlfriends" from a board I go to. It's a spin off, of a spin off, of the nest from back in the day- and these are girls I've talked to for years. And as dorky as it sounds, I've watched their kids grow up online and it was so fun meeting them in person.
Clark and Dex were digging for fossils. These two pics were taken by my friend Haley.


And almost all the kids together...
Brother hugs, LOVE!
All our kiddos digging for dino bones. Most of the time we were at Dinosaur World it felt like we were the only people there-

Random Florida Fun

When we were in FL the boys seriously loved playing baseball (sometimes twice a day) in Grandma & Grandpa's backyard. Clark takes BIG swings...
Bella learning to play
Dex has been making silly faces lately- I love them!

Cousin Charlene who just passed her medical boards and is officially a gastro doc!
And sometimes we'd have glow stick parties...
The boys helped Grandpa was his car...

And fed the horses often...

We went to Blizzard Beach one of the days with the boys in the morning and Joe and Traci. Grandpa picked up the boys for naps and the four of us adults got to hang out the rest of the day and play... Dex LOVED the "doughnut" slides.


Clark got to "drive" Uncle Joe's firetruck.
And both boys played with the fire hose. They took turns trying to shoot each other.

I love his belly
And then we went to TRex Cafe at Downtown Disney for lunch. The boys loved dining with the dinos, and all their family.
And having a Dunkin Doughnuts walking distance to Grandma & Grandpa's house is just dangerous.
We even took the kids for some family pictures

And they enjoyed playing in the pool in the afternoons...

Coolest birthday cake ever...

We're lucky to have a cousin in the family who is as talented as Renee. Clark turned 4 while we were in FL and we asked Renee if she could make some kind of dino themed cake or cupcakes. And this is what she did... HOLY CAKE! HERE is the link to her blog.
Clark was so incredibly excited about his cake- he kept smelling it :)
Look at how cute their little excited faces are
Poor Renee having to slice into her edible art.
T-Rex thought it was pretty good too
