Spring Break

The next day we headed 'up North' and the first thing on our to-do list was for Emma to get her ears pierced.  She would ask me about every other day when she was going to get it done.  But she had very specific criteria.  She wanted to get them pierced at the same place Madison did and she didn't want her own birth stone which is a garnet, she wanted blue, so she went with the December birthstone of aquamarine.

  after the first ear, she said she wanted to cry but didn't

 All done.  She kept saying "I feel so different" It was cute and she is so excited to have them pierced.  Now she just has to wait the long 6 weeks until she can wear earings that she wants to wear.

 That night we went swimming at our hotel.  These crazy little fish of ours jumped right in the freezing pool.  It didn't seem to bother them.

 The hot tub on the other hand was so hot we could hardly stand that one either.  But the kids had a great time and it wore them out so they slept really well that night.
