A Day in Greenville

This has definitely not been the spring break we planned with the stomach bug, and let's add some food poisoning to it. Tim and I think it was from spinach leaves we ate Wednesday night.  It has not been fun!

I was finally feeling better today so we went to Greenville for the afternoon.  We started at the mall to see the Easter Bunny.  Even though the bunny has nothing to do with meaning of Easter and what we want the boys to learn, it is still something fun for them.  Jackson hopped right up there and smiled.  Brooks refused to smile.  He just sat and stared.

We decided to Build-a-Bear next.  We have never done that before. Brooks picked out a "raf" or giraffe. Jackson picked out an elephant. Jackson made his first. Then it was Brooks' turn.  He is a mess. When it was time for him to put the heart in his giraffe, he didn't want to give it up.  Then he did not want the poor girl to sew up his animal.  He kept crying, "Mine, mine, mine."  Then they gave their animals a bath. Jackson was really into that. Then we named them. Brooks named the giraffe Kiko, and Jackson named the elephant Goofy. Of course, we had to show them off to TuTu. Jackson was so proud of his elephant and his house.

We ate lunch at American Burger, home of Jackson's favorite grilled cheese at the moment. Then we went to the Children's Museum. The boys had fun running around and playing.  They did not want to leave.

We stopped by the "Airaplane " park on the way home.  Papa Jerry and Noni came by to help us finish the swing set.  The boys were so excited. Of course, Brooks already got knocked in the head.
