Spring break in Wahington DC/Baltimore- Day 1 and 2

Spring break started on a Monday but since we were driving to Baltimore we decided to get an early start and leave on Friday. The kids were going to go to a half day of school and then we would be on our way. However, by the time I got the kids picked up and we got everything situated it was almost 2pm when we left. Our goal was Greensboro, North Carolina. We were gong to stay the night there and then get up early and make the rest of the trip Saturday Morning. We stopped a few times along the way, and then when we were about an hour outside of Greensboro we hit traffic, so we stopped for dinner then and made it to our hotel about 9pm. So that was 7 hours of Koby crying and screaming, The music BLASTING to try and get him to stop, Bryn talking to him, and Kyler trying to tell me a story all at the same time!! Oh, yea and Erick called in the middle of all that. I am sure he thought we were going to turn around and go back home!
When we got to the hotel of course the elevators were not working and we were on the 4th floor!! So I carried Koby and pulled 1 suitcase with two bags stacked on top up the stairs. Bryn and Kyler pulled their bags up and I am SURE we woke everyone up at that end of the building on all 4 floors!! The kids were so excited to finally be there. Koby was going crazy crawling all over the place. We got ready and went to bed and everyone slept really well.



The next morning we were up bright and early and got on our way. The second half of the trip was much better. Koby was happy the whole way. He slept for a while and laughed the rest of the time. It was great.
Erick was waiting for us when we got to the hotel in Baltimore and we dropped our things off and then went down to the pier. We ate at the Hard Rock Cafe which was yummy! The kids made friends with a lady who had some bread, so they got to feed the ducks, and we just walked around the pier enjoying being out of the car!!

Koby's first tooth

I have tried to get a few shots of Koby's first two teeth (they came at the same time) and this is about the best I could get!

BIG BROWN EYES

Koby has got the biggest brown eyes. He is mistaken for a girl all the time, I think it might have some to do with his big eyes and long lashes, and maybe a little to do with his wild hair. He has a crazy ringlet on one side of his head and another lock the same size on the other side but it doesn't curl! I think he is handsome even with the wild hair!!!

First Popsicle....

Kyler has been sick lately and has been eating a lot of Popsicles. Koby wants one every time, so he finally got one of his own! He loved it. He ate the whole thing except for the juice at the bottom. I am sure it felt good on his teeth and gums as well.

Playing Dress up

Every time I turn around lately Bryn is dressing Koby up. He doesn't seem to mind, so I guess she better do it while she can!!
Here are a few pics of a few of the outfits.




look at his face in this one. He would DIVE down the stairs if you let go for a second.

Bryn swimming

A quick video of Bryn swimming. I got a glimpse of each of the four strokes. The butterfly, the breast stroke, freestyle and backstroke. She is amazing at all four!

Kyler playing Basketball

Kyler has been playing basketball at the YMCA and has loved every minute of it. It is actually more like a b-ball clinic rather than games, but he really enjoys playing. Here is a quick video of what he has been doing.
