Splish SPLASH!

This post is wayyyyy picture heavy, so I'll keep the commentary short :)

 Batman and Superman from head to toe! And yes, they are wearing capes!

 Beach front resort = a beautiful view

 Me: Ryan, you want to get in the ocean? Ryan: Nope!

 Natural hair girls don't care about getting our hair wet:)

 A resort with an indoor waterpark and splash pad = heaven for R & E

 We get so much attention all the time from people wanting to know if R & E are twins. But put these two in superhero capes everywhere we go and the comments won't stop coming!

 Random guy on the beach: Will you braid my hair? Me: No

 Pinterest FAIL

 Still doesn't look like the pin from Pinterest! Oh wells...

 This is zoomed in, but he was wayyyyy out there!

 Just call us beach bums

Two of those specks out there are Daddy P and Evan!

 This guy and I built sand castles

 This was a HUGE step for Ryan!

 Beautiful

These two were pretty far out there!

We had a great time at Splash. The Peas had been asking to go to the waterpark and to the beach. I was able to find those two places in one resort. We had all the comforts of home in the condo and it truly was a relaxing time for all of us. Unfortunately, though we won't be going back. We refuse to spend our hard earned money in a state that has laws where people who look like us are not treated fairly and equally. So that Disney World trip Ryan and Evan's godmother asked to take them on next month? Yeah, I said no. That huge trip Daddy P and I have been planning and saving for for next year when Ryan and Evan are old enough to really remember it? Canceled. It may not be much, but it's our contribution to a cause we believe in. So long Florida.

Family Fun

These are some of my favorites from our trip to Alabama. Each year we head back home to spend time with our family. Evan and Ryan did not want to come back home to Connecticut! Oh, and if nobody else is still enjoying their superhero capes Ryan and Evan sure are!

Happening Now

Vacation recap coming soon, mateys! 

Graduation

Ryan and Evan didn't graduate from their school this year, but they did take part in the ceremony. We practiced the song they learned at school for weeks and I was so proud that they sang it on the big day! The dance though? Forget about it! They also received an award. This was our first time seeing the Peas in a school program and we couldn't be more proud. I'm extremely pleased with the progress they made at SELC. They will be more than prepared for Pre-K at their new Catholic school this fall.

Perfect Bill of Health

Last week Ryan and Evan had their four year well visit. They are in perfect health! The doctor said we beat it--prematurity that is. There are no long term effects of their early birth. How amazing is that?! I already knew Ryan and Evan are typical, healthy, happy, and smart 4 year olds, but to hear the doctor say it was a great feeling. These two didn't even cry when they got their shots! We spent the afternoon having lunch and going to the movies to celebrate a glowing bill of health. 

Ryan and Evan Meet Spiderman and Batman

The look on Evan's face is epic! And Ryan! How is he going to be afraid of Batman after he hugs him?! Evan was all about Spiderman for months! That is until he announced about a month ago that he hates Spiderman and is now Superman! Really, Evan? Ha :) Well, I couldn't find a Superman but these two were great! Not only did they entertain the kids for an hour, but they also brought music and took pictures that I should be receiving soon.
