Madrid Day 1

We arrived in Madrid at 7:30am that is 12:30am at home.  We came to our hotel for a quick shower and then headed out to see the sites.  We spent the next 8 hours out and about.  We really had a great time and I took a ton of pictures.  Below are a few of the best pictures I took today.  We can't wait to show you all the fun buildings and sites we saw.

Seven is Super Sweet!!!

We just love this girl.  She is and always has been an entergetic and spontaneous little girl.  We celebrated her birthday this year with a Pink Princess Birthday Party with some girls from school.  We had games planned but they had so much fun playing on their own we really only got to 2 of them.


Much needed new rain boots...from Nina and Trey!!
 
Pink Cupcakes, Pink punch, Pink Pudding, finger sandwiches, fruit kabobs, and Cheesy Bisquits...
Even Seneca got to come in her Pretty Tutu!

Fun Farm and Apple Picking

 We spent Friday night at the Fun Farm Picking apples and playing like crazy.  We played well past everybody's bedtime and all went home tired and worn out! 
Seneca made friends with Nina fast. They became good buddies all weekend long!

 
Riding the Wagon out to pick apples. Yummy!

 Hayden is super fast and hard to catch on camera.  Here is a really sweet picture of him munching on an apple he picked.

I just love the facial expressions on this little boy.  He sure does make me smile. 
He loved picking and eating apples!

Seneca's First time riding a wagon and picking apples.  Actually it was her first time eating a real apple and not just apple sauce, which she loves. 

Watching the Pig races and loving the Farm life! We had an awesome time like usual!

Trip to the Zoo

Monday we took a trip to the Zoo with Seneca and Aunt Jo. We had a great time looking at all the animals. We even got to see a 9 day old baby Giraffe.
Check out how close this bird in the Flight Cage let us get to it. Beware it will squawk if you get too close.

Riding the train and loving it!
