Spring Break

Well, we all had a wonderful time in Boynton Beach, FL visiting Nana and PopPop and Oma and Opa for spring break! We flew in (that was fun) late evening on Monday (4/6). And fortunately for everyone, the boys both slept well that night.So Day 1 started off on the wrong foot. Eric and I spent the morning in an urgent care facility with Carson. He had all kinds of yellow stuff coming out of his nose and a fever that we just couldn't get down. I'm always worried about ear infections so we took him in. Fortunately, no ear infection but she did put him on anti-biotics for some sort of throat issue. Once that was taken care of, we just hung around the house and went to the park. The boys loved the park ... we ended up going there several times throughout the week. Here is a picture of the DiBiaso boys with Opa!

Wednesday was a little bit warmer than Tuesday but still a bit on the chilly side (around 68 or so) so we all decided that it would be a great day to go to the zoo. The boys had a blast and what a nice zoo. We saw tigers and jaguars and flamingos and even a white alligator! We even got to ride a carousel and play in the fountains! Here are some pictures from the zoo ...

Thursday we decided to spend the morning at an old schoolhouse Children's Museum right in Boynton Beach. It was really neat ... mostly based on the history of the town! Dayton got to play in a train and on a tractor which was hard to tear him away from. Carson slept through most of the museum part (must take after his Daddy). There was also a really neat playground outside. That afternoon Daddy and PopPop went golfing (nice playground for them). Here are some pictures.
Friday was suppose to be the warmest day of the week so we decided to pack up at take the boys to the beach. Dayton had been there when he was about 8 months old but it was Carson's first trip. And what a trip it was! It ended up not being very warm ... the sun never came out behind the clouds and it was quite windy. The boys seemed to have a good time anyway. Boy, Carson was so full of sand! I forgot about the days when you didn't care that sand got into every nook and cranny of the body.
The boys were so tired after that Dayton crashed on the couch ... check it out!
The next day Nana and Dayton dyed Easter eggs and the boys went fishing for the first time in the lake behind the house. Fortunately, Daddy thought to take the hook of the rod after they realized they weren't going to catch anything. It was really cute.



The next day the Easter bunny came and boy or boy did he ever leave a lot of stuff for the boys. I think there was a total of 7 baskets! Easter was a beautiful day. Eric and I went to church that morning and then when we got home we blew up the whale pool that Nana bought and let the boys swim. They had a blast.

The next day we left beautiful FL for cold, rainy IN at the crack of dawn. The boys did pretty good on the flight. Carson slept for about half of it and Dayton was a really good boy! We all had a really great time with Nana and PopPop and Oma and Opa but I think we were all really happy to be home. Thanks Nana and PopPop for a wonderful vacation!
