The girls are on spring break this week so I decided to let the kids have their own day where they could decide what to do. Today was Katelyn's day. She picked going to Nickolodian Universe at the MOA. Emma was so happy Kate choose this activity. Win win for both! I informed Grandma Nichols of our plans and she decided to come down and enjoy the week with us too.
The day didn't start out very well with both girls fighting and arguing. Emma claimed Kate broke her flat iron for her hair by spilling water on it and as a punishment Emma decided Kate needed to do every chore imaginable to make up for it. (which his probably what Emma thinks of me! LOL) To top it off, in the van on the way to the mall Kate was picking on Emma in every way possible. I actually had to stop the van and do the old lecture if you don't behave we will turn around and go home bit. Once at the mall Emma somehow got Katelyn to do the scary big rides. Katelyn is usually very reserved and actually will get those red faced head rushes that are visible as a spectator when riding on a simple swing. But today she was brave and Emma took every advantage. Kate kept saying she was having a blast.. part of it was the undivided attention she received from her older sister. Sadly, Emma discovered she was getting to tall to go on some of the rides. (Her new nickname/signature on facebook and text messages is 5'6!) She was too tall for the big pineapple jumper and the bumper cars!
Nickelodian Universe had a new exhibit called the Butterfly Bay which is an enclosed netted area that is full of live butterflies. We like to go to this kind of exhibit at the state fair every year. The girls just walk around and encourage the butterflies with their finger to let them hold them and sit on their shoulder. At one time Emma had 8 butterflies on her. Grandma had never seen anything like it. They had some really HUGE butterflies too. They were kind of freaky looking when you think about their 3 inch bodies and legs!
Well that was Katelyn's day. We ended it with a stop at Domino's for a quick dinner to bring home. Grandma and I were all wore out! Tomorrow is Moms Day!!
