The Miller Memories

Dan went to DC for some meetings back in February.  While he was there Dutch saw an episode of The Berenstain Bears that involved exploring a cave.  He decided that sounded like fun and immediately asked if he could call Daddy to talk to him about it.  We called Dan and Dutch explained that he would like to explore a cave that does not have any wild animals or scary things in it.  Well fast forward to a few weeks later and we decided to go to Wonder World Park and do the Balcones Fault Line Cave tour.  Yes, we all went.  I have been pretty freaked out by caves for most of my life, usually the thought of it makes me want to pass out.  But I sucked it up and decided to go for it anyway.  I did great!  I didn't get freaked out at all.  I think that having to carry Baker through most of it helped distract me from my usual fear. Enough about me though, the boys thought it was pretty awesome.  They even laughed when the tour guide dem...

We dyed Easter 'eggs' last week.  I use the word eggs loosely because they were actually a foam/paper composite that I found at Wal-Mart.  I wanted Baker to be able to dye eggs this year, but didn't want him touching real eggs.  The fake eggs worked pretty well, they didn't hold the colors as well as real eggs do, but the boys still enjoyed it.

We were invited to go to the Sherwood Forest Faire with a friend that the boys and I met in our playgroup.  So we loaded up our families and made the trek out for our first Renaissance Festival.  Dan and I weren't sure what to expect, but we had a blast!  We did a wide range of things and Dan and Austin ate some 'meat on a stick' so we know they enjoyed themselves. {The Boys riding in Ye Olde Carriage aka a padded garden wagon} {Pony Rides, always a favorite for Dutch} {The Clown Show} {Dutch being naturally nervous near the clown, smart kid} {The Castle Entrance, we weren't allowed to go in though} {Dan throwing knives, he landed one!} {Alicia and I threw axes, we did not land one} The Maze - The Boys favorite part, it was super fun, but a little bit stressful when all three boys went in different directions. {Asher, Baker, & Dutch} {Asher, Alicia, and Dutch} {Finally found the center and rang the bel...

It was a rainy dreary Saturday and we all needed to do something fun so we hopped in the car and decided to go down to New Braunfels to visit the McKenna Children's Musuem. Of course the boys had a blast, but Dan and I had fun watching them play too. {The Space Station} {Dan's Airplane in the Imagination Station} {In the Ambulance} {Dutch was administering shots} {In the Grocery Store} {In the Old House} We have a lot more pictures and some great videos, but I haven't uploaded those from our phones yet.
