Spring Break 2017

Aunt Sandi's kids didn't have school + We didn't have school = Party in Austin!

We started at Hop N Happy with smiles, but the silly faces quickly took over.

On Thursday night, we squeeze in some good times with the Gildens (who did have school and work that week, womp womp).

With Sonic delivery to 2 houses, you have to take a few selfies to include everyone in on the fun.

The next morning- We went to the zoo zoo zoo. How about you you you? You can come too too too. We're going to the zoo zoo zoo.

In the afternoon while some children nap, the fun continues. Purim may have come and gone, but the desire for delicious hamentashen never expires. Mira and Jacob make homemade marshmallow fluff for a unique, sweet treat.

Cohens Complete

Grandma and Grandpa came to Austin just as plenty other family did to help welcome and celebrate Spencer. Fortunately, we had a whole day just for them after most of the crowd left but before they left. As to not overshadow the great time we had with them, they get their own post!

We took Grandma and Grandpa to Catch Air, an indoor playground by our house.

Gabi and Grandpa play together and practice their grumpy faces before smiling sweetly.

The slide was definitely for Kids Only.

All's well that ends...ok...
She made it up but couldn't make it down.

At dinner that evening, we stop to capture Grandma and Grandpa with all 3 of their Texan grandchildren.

Ethan and Gabi show off their new shirts from their grandparents.

We were so grateful for the time we spent with Grandma and Grandpa throughout the special family weekend but were especially fortunate to squeeze in the extra quality time on our special day together!
