First Field Trip and a Royal Wedding ~

 Jordyn's first field trip was on Thursday...it was the Preschool, Kindergarten and First grades, and the kids had a blast!  The first stop was the city park for a picnic lunch and lots of playground fun...

 Then we headed over to the Gardens on Spring Creek, where they took a tour of the fabulous grounds, planted some sunflower seeds, and enjoyed the Children's Garden.

 It was a nice sunny day, which was a refreshing change...April has been filled with wind, snow, and extreme cold...so the kids lucked out with a beautiful day!  Look...no jackets!

 Our last stop on the trip, the Cold Stone Creamery for ice cream...hmmmm...decisions, decisions...

 Jordyn finally decided on the cotton candy ice cream with gummy bear sprinkles!  This place was awesome, all kinds of different toppings and the ice cream was super tasty...just look at those faces :)

 Im so glad i was able to tag along for her first field trip...it was a great way to end the week!

And speaking of the end of the week...it was the "big" wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton on Friday, so naturally i tuned in.  How could i miss it?  I remember watching the day Charles and Diana married, we were on vacation visiting family out in Colorado, and my mom was watching in the wee hours of the morning, and so was i.  I know folks are tired of hearing about it, but im tired of hearing about politics, hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes ( i can only take so much depressing, sad news)...so it was nice to escape to a beautiful fairytale wedding...and thats just what it was! 

 

Besides, it was history in the making, and i enjoyed all the glamour and pageantry.  Her dress was absolutely stunning, as was she...and Prince William looked rather handsome too!  It was quite different from the wedding of Charles and Dianna, it seemed more relaxed and they seemed very comfortable with each other.  

I wish them nothing but happiness ~
