The family may have expanded, but our traditional spring break trip to Minnesota has continued.
Charlie did great on his first big adventure. He didn't seem to mind the lengthy car ride at all! Carter had a blast, as always. She was brave and rode the kid's roller coaster (which she hated, but she gets credit for trying it!). Her favorite was the Backyardigan's swing ride. And, as always, the pool was a HIT!

Hey, guys! You have the wrong suits on!!

Smiling, happy babies!

Creepy faces

Tradition dictates there must be table-side guacamole

Ready to hit the pool with noodle in hand!!!

Sleepy baby did not go with us to the pool Friday night. He needed his beauty rest!

GOOD MORNING, Mall of America!

Lovin' Lego Land!

Carter loved the balloon ride!

THINK HAPPY!

Charlie didn't meet the minimum height requirement for anything but his stroller (DUH!), but he sure did enjoy taking it all in!

Hanging out while Andy and Carter ride the big swings

It's a BABY BUNNY!

Riding the Wonder Pets' Flyboat ...

Check out the face (under the hair!): priceless!

"Petting" butterflies at Butterfly Bay, easily the coolest part of the day!

Charlie thought it was pretty cool, too!

A blue butterfly even landed on Charlie's hand (that's the blur thing)

He liked it (or was thinking of eating them!)

A Carter-kiss for the butterflies!

Carter was able to hold still long enough to allow a butterfly to land on her shoulder.

Everyone! To the pool!

This kid is nutso over swimming!

This one ... not so much (yet!)

Splish splash!

In the end, Charlie started to warm up to the idea of being in the pool. I wouldn't say he loved it, but he didn't pout!

Carter, on the other hand, could swim all night long! She was "so tired" we had to "relax" pool side for a bit!

... good thing he isn't self-conscious yet!!! What a cute little chubby-fish!

Saturday night: one very exhausted Baby Charlie!
