Spring Break Trip

We headed down to Greensboro to visit Grandma and Grandpa. It was a great trip; enjoyed spending time with them, experiencing wonderful museums and events, and for us some long day naps. After a long car ride, we enjoyed some outside play and exploration of their new house.

The next day we headed to the Children's Museum and just like last time had a blast. Owen's favorite part was the plane, where he and another boy pretended to fly and explore. Aiden's favorite was the big trucks and blocks. But both boys also really loved the dress up area, which was so cute to watch them. After naps we headed to Greensboro College's pool, good to know the President. The boys had a blast at the pool. Lots of splashes!

The next day we headed to the Science Museum, by far our favorite place. We explored the bugs, dinosaurs, reptiles, fish, and then the outdoor zoo area. The zoo area is fantastic. Once again the tiger strolled right along the glass so we were face to face. We got to see monkeys, lemurs, meerkats, turtles, farm animals, wolves, etc.

Along with all that the boys later enjoyed an Easter egg hunt and a walk to a great playground. Chester and I hung out with the boys as they played and played at the park while the rest watched the hockey game and made Easter dinner.

The day got busier, we then headed to the Greensboro Grasshoppers game. They have a fantastic minor league team and we were curious if the boys would enjoy it. The game went past bedtime, but we stayed an hour and then headed home with two very tired boys. However, so happy we went, the boys loved the game. Owen was very interested in learning and following the cheers. Aiden liked watching the game and then exploring the stadium. The best part was the bat retrieving dog and ball racing dog.
