Baa
Today the baby said baa when I asked her what a sheep said. I was so happy about it that she started saying the sound for every animal.

Kites and Dogs
Yesterday was windy enough to go outside and try to fly the kite that we gave the Champ for his birthday. Boy, are getting kites into the air difficult. However, when they get up, it is so exciting.
Princess really was into the kite, but she was more counterproductive. She and I took a small walk. She gets so fired up when she sees a dog. She points, makes a noise (letting me know that she wants me to name him and say woof woof), and tries to say woof woof herself (although only her family probably understands what she is trying to do). We met two dogs that night and loved it.

Spring Break Fun
On Friday, the kids and I enjoyed a day at home. However, on Saturday, our adventure began. We first drove to Marengo Cave and completed the hour guided tour. The Champ was a little hesitant at first due to the lights not being turned on yet. later, he loved the tour. Princess hated the tour. We had to carry her most of the way, and she wanted to explore on her own instead. It was great to give the Champ a new experience. We even saw live bats up close. We took a nature trail over the cave by ourselves. We ate at Wendy's for dinner. There was a brief stop of the car for mom to get out and see the original state capital in Corydon. We used Priceline to save us 56% off lodging for the evening at Crowne Plaza by the airport. The hotel was beautiful. We watched the early Final Four game.
I was up and exercising early on Sunday at the fitness center. Daddy brought us McDonalds for breakfast. We made our way to downtown Louisville. We ate at the Spaghetti Factory for lunch. Then we walked to the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory. It was a big hit for the Champ. He loved learning how the bats were made, hitting in the batting cages, the movie, etc. The Princess fell asleep on the factory tour. I loved watching her in the t-ball batting cage. She had clearly watched her brother. She knew to put the ball at the top of the tee and to try to hit it off with the bat. So cute. We walked by the river and enjoyed dinner on the river at Joe's Crab Shack. Beautiful view and beautiful weather...couldn't resist eating out on the deck. We went to the playground on the riverfront and walked some on the river walk. We again used Priceline to save us money on lodging at the Courtyard by Marriot at the airport.
On Monday, daddy brought us breakfast again from McDonalds. Then the boys enjoyed the swimming pool. We had lunch by the Ohio River. We went to Falls of the Ohio. Champ loved climbing on the rocks as we searched for fossils. I was shocked by how much litter there was at the site. We drove to Lexington. On the way there, we made sure to pass the capitol. It was good to eat dinner again at a Backyard Burgers. (We used to eat at those in Missouri.) However, Backyard Burgers was out of baked potatoes by the time we got there at 6. Daddy and Princess walked to Cracker Barrell later so the Princess could eat some more food. The kids and I fell asleep instead of watching the championship game. Daddy watched the championship game downstairs.
I began Tuesday in the fitness room of the hotel. Afterward, we walked to Cracker Barrell for breakfast. We checked out of the hotel, did a quick lap around UK, and went to the Lexington Children's Museum. The kids loved making bubbles, walking on the "moon," saddling a pretend horse, playing doctor, building with blocks, etc.
