State Capital

As a means to getting her 2 daughters out of the house, and doing something fun, a friend in my ward initiated what she calls "Field Trip Friday." She puts where they are going up on her blog and anyone is welcome to join them. Here are a few examples of places they have gone: The children's museum, the aquarium, a farm, and the city library. Alexis and I have joined them a few times and have had a lot of fun. This past Friday we went to the state capital building for a picnic and a self-guided tour. All together there were 4 adults, and 6 children.

Although the sun hid itself that day, and it was a little windy, we still had a really good time! Unfortunately, I also lost my cell phone. I am hoping that a good samaritan found it and turned it in, and it is safely stored away in the lost and found. One can hope right?? I'll be going back tomorrow to see if it's there. In the meantime, I reactivated my husband's old, piece of crap cell phone, so you can still call me if you want:)


Alexis seemed to enjoy herself, and by the time we got home she was totally worn out. She took a 2 hour nap and I actually had to go and wake her up, because it was getting so late. Here are a few pictures of our fun adventure. Thanks Brittany!

The walkways in front of the capital were lined with beautiful blossomed trees

All the kiddos

Xaya & Alexis

(Xaya is 1 yr. older than Alexis, but they are about the same size and play really cute together)

Notice Alexis & Xaya on the far right of this picture.

Apparently they needed a little rest. Silly girls:)
