Simpson's Journey

We had a play date with some of Cameron's preschool friends at a McDonald's that has a play area. I didn't get a lot of pictures of the kids playing but here are the few I did get! This was Michael's first time in a McDonald's playland where he actually got to play! We all had a wonderful time!

This Easter had us home and it was nice having this special day with just our little family of four.  We got up went to church and then let the kids have a Easter Egg hunt in our front yard.  I 'hid' Michael's eggs where he could easily see them but he wasn't as interested in putting the eggs into his bucket.  Michael just enjoyed playing in the mulch! I made Cameron's hunt just a little more difficult.  Joe had to help her :) The kids with their Easter Buckets! We had a wonderful day with our precious little ones!

This was is the first time we realized that Cameron had a loose tooth! It was on 3-19-14. A bit looser!  On 4-2-14 On 4-18 Finally out! Really loose on 4-20 We can't believe she has lost her first tooth! Where has the time gone she is becoming such a big girl!

We decided to take a trip to St. Louis to get out of Bloomington for a weekend. The weather was great and we all had a great time! We went into St. Louis and had dinner at Pappy's Smokehouse on our first night, then the next day we went to the St. Louis Zoo for the majority of the day. First up at the zoo was the Children's Zoo which was free for the first hour the zoo was open. It has some animals and a small play ground.   The zoo had a Butterfly House and we were able to see some amazing butterflies!    Then onto the Africa part of the zoo. Michael's 1st Carousel Ride  On the train. Cameron's favorite Sea Lion  More animals!  After we got back to the hotel it was pool time! This was Michael's first time in the pool and he loved it and Cameron is our little fish! WE had a wonderful time just the four of us and getting away for a small family vacation!

This is the second year that the Bloomington High School put on a Princess Tea Party.  The students get in costume and put on the tea party.  The tables are themed, and the princesses with their prince walks around the area so the girls can take pictures with them. Then they have Belle read a story, and two sing along songs one by Ariel the Little Mermaid and the other by Elsa from Frozen. Cameron and I had a wonderful time! We were able to go with one of Cameron's good friends Aly and sit together! Mereda from Brave Aurora and Prince Phillip Snow White and Prince Flynn Rider and Rapunzel Ariel and Eric Tiana and Naveen Belle Aladdin and Jasmine Cinderella and Prince Charming Anna and Elsa from Frozen We had a great time!
