Here is an overview of our recent activities....Be aware that there are a lot of pictures!
Easter
Arthur and Camilla loved Easter this year! I love watching them grow up and figure out what they like!
Disney
The Disney Store is still one of their other favorite places. We go almost every week for a visit and now that summer is here it will probably be every week. During the summer months they have fun activities for the children to participate in. The activities include things such as dancing, scavenger hunts, learning to draw Disney characters, and story time. This year when they participate they get a button with a different Disney character to stick on a Disney lanyard. These lanyards are now some of their favorite things that they own. Camilla loves Winnie the Pooh and almost always ends up with one of the stuffed animals in her arms within minutes of arriving at the store. She also loves to give various stuffed animals to Eliza to play with.

Mother's Day
Zoo
Arthur and Camilla still love going to the zoo. It is one of their favorite places. Our annual pass has expired and we decided not to renew it. In another year or two we'll sign up again and hopefully it will all feel new to them since it will have been awhile since their last visit. I think we'll all miss going to the zoo, though. Eliza was even starting to enjoy it, at least as much as any four-month-old baby can.

Temple
This is probably their most requested location to go visit. They both love going to the temple and walking around the grounds. Camilla and Arthur have both tried to open the doors when we are there. Luckily they have only ever attempted this on either a Sunday or Monday, on which days the temple is closed. I love watching them as they enjoy the temple grounds and it's such a great place to visit as a family!
Arthur's attempt at a picture...I love that all of us are in the shot.
Playing
These pictures each show a little bit of their personalities. They all are so different but play so well together, most of the time.
Fort Collins
Tim has been traveling more and more with work lately. Just two weeks ago he was in Fort Collins and since it wasn't very far we decided that I would go with the children and have a mini vacation of sorts. We had a lot of fun and the children loved being able to see Tim a little bit more after so much traveling. I took the children on a walk every day we were there and the first day it was how I got them to take their naps. You can see the various stages of falling asleep below.
Father/Son Camping Trip
Our ward had their annual father/son camping trip this past weekend. Tim has been looking forward to taking Arthur all year long since he wasn't able to do so last year. From my understanding Arthur had a lot of fun. Arthur wanted to go on a hike with his daddy and so that's what they did. Hopefully soon we'll be able to go camping as a family!
