Truly sad was when our neighbor's (Jim & Charlotte) dog, Rusty died. They had him for 13 years and the kids used to go on walks with him and loved seeing Rusty.

Can you see the resemblance??
Another fun even (pre-Spring Break) Aunt Courtenay/Uncle Jared and Cousin GLORY came to visit us. Anna and Glory had their little pack of students that followed them around. We didn't see them much except for when they got hungry. Glory taught all the little ones how to skate with "dignity".
Glory showed them some real style and how to skate (vs. marching/rolling!). Now they wear their skates more than their shoes. Thanks for the lessons, Glory! Anna is now in withdrawal with her buddy gone. Is Jared through his missing March Madness withdrawals?
Brett took a couple of days off and we camped in our yard (the original plan was to GO camping, but........) and went to the Aquarium in Monterey. As soon as you drive into Monterey you see this amazing, huge park and lake. We couldn't resist stopping there first. Ate lunch and then could have called it a day with just that. This park is huge and it was a beautiful day.
We did end up going on to the aquarium - here are some token pictures......
The sea horse exhibit was interesting:
Played on the beach for a short bit on our way out while Brett went to get the car which was about 2 miles away. We thought the aquarium was closer to the park than it actually was. So we thought we would walk. Kind of a mistake as after the park Luke was ready for a nap and we didn't bring the stroller. (That morning Brett had said when I brought the stroller out to the car, "He's 3! He doesn't need a stroller anymore!) I could have squeezed it in on top of the cooler, but didn't want to argue at that moment. Brett later said we will not leave without it again for something like this :)
Also did some spring sports camps:
(Playing football and baseball are Luke's top 2 right now.)
Cleaning up messes. Can you believe this was all under/behind Anna's bed?! That little packrat! Makes me crazy.
And this is a record: (Luke falling asleep reading books before Brett)
And now spring break is over.................

You know how to have fun times. Thanks for sharing.
I think the cupcakes are really creative and do look like Rusty. I hope you shared them with Jim and Charlotte- they must have loved them too.
