Spring Break 2012: The rest of it

Tired Penn is tired.
This week was one of my favorite Spring Breaks. We started off with the mini vacation to Oklahoma. The rest of the week we just hung out. Penn rode his bike. He played a lot with his friend Isaac. It made me wish for the country a bit. These two almost never look to a tv/ipad/wii/ds for fun.  They play outside more than any of Penn's friends and I wished I had more outside to give them.

We ate lunch at the food trucks and went to the Dallas Museum of Art with friends and made collages and robots and had snacks in the cafe.

We went to the Museum of Nature and Science and the shark exhibit. This was a highlight for me. I don't get enough time with Penn anymore. On this trip, Lucy was enamored with the surroundings and not so cute as to be very distracting. (Tough!) So Penn and I walked and talked and enjoyed one another without interruption.

We got some plants in the garden.

But mostly we slept. We stayed up too late and we slept in too late and it was glorious.
