Waiting for Spring

When we first arrived in NC on March 1st of last year we were welcomed with beautiful sunshine and 80 degree weather.  This year spring has yet to arrive.  It has been cold, cloudy and wet here and we are waiting for the weather to get above the 40's or 50's so we can get outside before the hot summer months hit.  

So, as we wait for spring we have had to get a bit more creative in how we spend our days.   Finding indoor activities is what we have been doing for the last several weeks.  Because of this we have managed to make several visits to the Children's Museum (Thanks Aunt Linda for the family passes).   It is always a hit with Neal when we venture out to the museum and it makes for fun filled morning or afternoon.

Just this last week Grandma (Laura's mom) was in town and we got to take her with us.   We did all sorts of things from driving cars, washing animals, cooking, grocery shopping, and art work.   Neal discovered the Pizza kitchen this time and spent quite a bit of time "baking" some pizza for Grandma and I to try.  

It was delicious and fun to watch him go though all the steps from placing on the topping, cooking it in the oven, playing cashier so we can "pay" for our pizza, and then delivering it to us in a pizza box to our table.  

A fun filled day like that sure makes for one tired little boy....

So I guess no matter how long spring takes to get here we will be taking advantage of our museum passes a lot more.
