Spring Break, part 2

Spring break around here was pretty laid back. No major trips or adventures, just hanging in the "Woodlands Hood."

Thursdays "big event" was to get haircuts. Kathryn wanted to get her's cut shorter and knew exactly what she wanted, so she was able to tell the lady what to do. After she cut Kathryn's hair and trimmed bangs, etc. she braided Kathryn's hair. It was so cute. I guess Mommy needs to learn how to do that.



The next day when we took Kathryn's hair down it was, as she said, "all wrinkly". She looked very cute and it was fun to see her with something other than her straight hair.



As for Rebecca, she wanted to keep her hair long, so we we just had an inch trimmed off the length and had the bangs trimmed.



On Friday, March 19, Allen actually had the day off so we could go do something as a family. We originally were going to head down to the Houston Rodeo, but as always, the best laid plans often change. :-/ We ended up not being able to get out of the house until after 2:00, too late for the rodeo. Not wanting the whole day to be a dissappointmment, we decided to drive over to the new George Mitchell Nature Preserve in the Village of Creekside here in The Woodlands. It was a beautiful day and perfect for a walk in the woods.



After we enjoyed the outdoors, we headed over to The Woodlands Waterway and had dinner at The Gooses's Acre, an authentic Irish Pub that we have here in The Woodlands.



After dinner, we walked over to the Waterway Park that was nearby and let the girls play around the fountain. As I was filming them running around, Kathryn accidentally got doused with one of the jumping water fountains. You can actually see when it happens and hear Allen laughing in the background. She was soaked! It really was quite funny, but she continued to run around and laugh



In this picture you can see how soaked Kathryn got.



After we headed home for the evening, we ended the day with a game night. We started having a family game night earlier this year, and we try to do it at least twice a month, but lately we have it almost every weekend. We even have a "McNight Family Game Night" trophy. Rebecca was the winner this time.



Despite the fact we were unable to go on a trip for Spring break, we actually had fun just hanging out in our hometown.
