Hays America!

Spring Break Time---the first two days of spring break, Caden got to go to Grandma and Grandpa house in Ellsworth for some Caden time--ended up working out great because Brynn had a fever for a couple days---she took a lot of good naps and we ended up taking her to Stat Care because she had some spots in her throat, but no strep--she was so cute going to the DR.--she wore her pink cowgirl boots with her pink sweats and took her purple sparkling purse--she cracks me up!

Wednesday--Layne took the day off and we went to Ellsworth to pick up Caden and Grandma and then went on to Hays.  We stopped to play in the park while Mommy fed Lakyn--it was sunny but chilly out--felt good to stretch and run though.  Mom took our family picture by the bridge where Layne and I had some of our engagement pictures taken.

Then it was off to eat lunch at Taco Shop and go to Sternberg Museum.

I had told the kids about the BIG dinasours--Caden was excited to see them, Brynn was a little scared--I loved that when we got there the roles reversed and Caden was not sure about them and Brynn was all about looking at them!

Here is the T-Rex--neither one would go stand by it, but they sat across from it and watched it roar a few times--then it was off to explore!

Watching the T-Rex

Awesome spider to climb on!

I had just taken our little camera along and found the batteries dead--so we took alot of these pictures with the ipad---not the best of quality, but it worked and mom had her camera along as well to help capture the fun!

Dinosaurs are BIG!

Love the Mammoth!

Bigger than even 2 kiddos!

Both Caden and Brynn loved digging for bones in the sand pit--they told me later that the sand pit was their favorite part!

All three cuties on a whale skull (I think :))

They also had a cool rattle snake exhibit with about 30 different kinds of live rattlesnakes on display with snake facts--kind of cool to look at!

We ended the day with snowballs---some things you have to get in Hays!  Love that place!

The rest of spring break was spent relaxing, doing art projects, seeing some friends, and playing games--the weather was not the greatest, but it was nice to have a break!
