My Chaos -

There were a TON of people at the arboretum over the weekend. I guess now that we've been getting some really nice weather people are itching to get outdoors. The spring blooms were absolutely gorgeous too. I felt a little rushed because of the crowds, but still managed to get some shots that I really love... My little old men I totally love this one even though Shorty has that look on his face. And this one isn't the greatest shot, but I love how bright and open his eyes are! Such a trouble maker! Always up for exploring and crawling and climbing... Silly little grin! I just thought this tree was stunning and the petals falling off of it made it look like it was snowing. Peekaboo! Had him really cracking up! One boy trying to be very sweet and cooperative, while the other one causes trouble... Hehe - I just love the look on his face!

We found out that the Port Authority had closed decided to close the ports due to fog and we wouldn't be leaving on time. No big deal, we were having a great time. By 4am, the ports were still fogged-in and the ship would be leaving for 3 days of fun at sea, but wouldn't have time to make it to Mexico. Carnival did a great job at trying to make it right for everyone. They gave us the option of a full refund if we wanted to get off the ship the next morning. My main goal was to get some great photos in Mexico, so I chose to get off. It was really a good thing it happened since my arm just wasn't ready to cooperate. Some of the 22 of us who went stayed and really enjoyed the 3 days at sea, which I...

I think this may becoming a yearly event. School actually closed down for 4 days! That never happens around here! The kids didn't mind at all and loved playing in the snow and cuddling under blankets when inside.
