Spring Break Part 1

What beautiful weather we have had for Spring Break! The first part of our vacation was at home. So I had decided to do some things around the area. We went to the Little Elm Beach on Monday.
 We invited the neighbor boy Austin (blonde in neon green shirt) and Bella's classmate Natalie (brunette in light blue shirt below). My friend Chris with her kids Nico and Marlee met us up there. The pictures say it all.



 All the kids helped in building a castle out of sand, rocks, and found objects.

 Bella and Marlee find a giant rock that they want to add to the castle. They tried to roll it, but didn't get very far. So strong man Nico to the rescue.


 Natalie found a fossil and Mrs. Chris shows her.

 I love this face. Yes, the water was cold, but that didn't stop them from going in.
 Too cold! Retreat!

 Nico shows me how to be a "mud man".

 Natalie was intent for 15 minutes to roll this rock to the car to take it home. I texted her mom to ask if it was okay for her to bring it home :) Natalie was very disappointed:(

 Austin says "my turn" and lies down.

 They made a mermaid tail on him in the sand, at which he got up and chased them screaming, "The Zombie has come alive!"

 On your mark...
 Get set....
 GO! (Marlee and Nico- "Psych".)
 And they all fall down, only to get up and try it again.

 There was a nice nature trail beside the beach. We saw the first butterfly of Spring on the trail. Marlee and Nico tried to catch the small, fast, yellow butterfly.
 A very good day, with lots of sun and friends.
 The next day we went to the Frisco Commons park. We picked up some Chick Fa Le for a picnic and met my neighbor and friend Julie and her entourage up there. It was insanely crowded, but we enjoyed the weather and friends. We only stayed for a little over an hour. Bella invited another girl in her class Addy, whom she had played with at her house earlier in the day, to come with us. Afterward the girls went to Grandma Carols and got to spend the night.
