St Patty's DayWeekend at Treasure Lake

We went to visit my mom and sisters in PA while she was up there for a few weeks!  We had a great weekend :)  The kids loved playing down by the water and throwing in rocks!  Alex especially loved looking for HUGE rocks to throw in... he was so cute because he'd get a bunch of them in a pile then throw as fast as he could.  He just couldn't get enough of it! 

Gary and I got to enjoy a nice afternoon to ourselves while grandma watched the boys!  We went to lunch, shopped, and got coffee... always LOVE getting in a date with my man ;) 

Saturday was St. Patrick's Day!  Alex had been noticing all of the "green decorations" and displays over the last couple of weeks.  He loved the fact that the holiday is centered around the color green because it's his absolute favorite color!  He wants EVERYTHING to be green if it's ever an option... it's his choice in cups, plates, clothes, coloring, paper, etc.  Their shirts from last year both still fit pretty well (my tiny boys!) and they were both really excited to wear them :)  We had a "Treasure Hunt" with clues that led them to the "treasure"  Alex LOVED it (in fact, we spent the rest of the weekend making up more of them!)

 Here he is running to the next clue!

 The "treasure"!  (green necklaces, gold coins that alex calls "dabloons", green candy, and green balloons! 

 We all went to see The Lorax in the theatre together one afternoon!  The boys did great!  It was Nathan's second movie in the theatre, and with special treats like popcorn and suckers, he sat pretty well for the whole movie.  It was really cute and a nice treat since we very rarely go to the theatre anymore!  We also had a campfire and roasted marshmellows! 

We had a great time!  The kids just love their grandma and aunts!
