Stay-Cation

Last week was our Spring Break, and man, it was fabulous! We spent every day together as a family and made some great memories! We weren't rushed, we didn't have hectic, scheduled plans, and we went with the flow. It was just what we needed to jump-start our Spring and help us count down the rest of the school year!

Monday morning we hit up the mall, which is a treat for the girls! I never take them to the mall and I much prefer shopping online, but DJ was off, and I knew that we could handle the girls between the two of us. We had a quick stop at the Apple Store, went to Gap, and then the girls begged for a carousel ride. 

Addy was so excited!

I had to ride with Adalyn since she wasn't big enough, and DJ rode with Megan. 

After lunch and a quick errand, we took the girls to a park. 

I wanted to find a park that we hadn't been to before and this one was perfect for the girls. Our plan the first few days of Spring Break was to explore our city a little bit more, so we were excited when we found this park in mid-town. 

The little girls on the see-saw. 

And their daddy on the other end!

DJ and I took some time to just sit and relax while the girls played. 

The weather last Monday was gorgeous. It was in the 80s and just fabulous! So once we got home from the park, we let the girls play outside. 

Meggie of course ran inside and changed her clothes. 

Tuesday morning we decided we would visit a local museum with the girls. 

The Gilcrease museum is a historical attraction here in Tulsa and we hadn't had the opportunity to visit before they have an amazing collection of art, carvings, and Native American pieces. 

Thankfully, they had a kids play area too, and the girls loved exploring.

And Addy had to as well!

And then the girls had a puppet show. 

Gobble, Gobble! 

We explored the grounds a little before we left. 

The flowers haven't bloomed yet, but the girls loved the fountains. Addy wanted to throw money in- every time she sees a fountain she wants to toss in a coin. 

Gretchen decided the garden was pretty enough that she wanted to have her wedding at Gilcrease. 

This view was perfect for seeing downtown Tulsa. 

I love these girls. 

After our museum tour, we headed for lunch at Dilly Dinner. They have the perfect outdoor eating space in downtown, complete with play houses for the kids. 

I went to snap this picture and Addy stuck her tongue out at just the right moment!

And Megan had been begging to go to the "swinging park" so once we got home, Addy went down for a nap and I took the big girls to our neighborhood park so Megan could swing her little heart out. 

Our first two days of our stay-cation were the best.
