Our spring break was the definition of the Vernal Equinox, full tilt!
Unfortunately, I didn't get any photos from Jakey's Bar Mitzvah (I'll post as soon as the photographer sends us the best shots of the whole Cronin Clan!)
In eleven days, we stayed in NY for three nights, then NJ for three nights jammin' with Aunt Kathy and Uncle Mike with day trips to visit Gram and Pop Pop in PA (so sorry not to get photos of them...it was so nice to see them). Then we spent our last four nights in Washington D.C. visit Aunt Kelly's family and playing tourist with Aunt Miel. Since Kieran learned all his states, capital's and biggest cities last fall, he was really excited to add to his state count...six states total!
Thanks everyone who hosted us...we had a truly fantastic visit.
 |
| Our first day in NY we headed up to FDR's Presidential Library, Hyde Park. |
 |
| Hyde Park was truly inspiring, and we all loved learning more about the Roosevelt Family. |
 |
| Kevin really wanted to visit Gifford Pinchot's home, Grey Towers. It turns out that it was closed, very cold and icy, but we still made the most of it. |
 |
| We drove two hours out of our way to visit Grey Towers, and the kids thought it was all part of the adventure. |
 |
| Visiting Aunt Kathy and Uncle Mike was a blast. The kids loved jamming in Mike's music studio...Makenna got a hold of a microphone for the first time...watch out world! |
 |
| Kieran truly loves the drums...dropping ukulele class and would love a drum set of his own... |
 |
| Cronin Kid fan club...Kieran is dreaming of a Cronin Band with his cousins and Aunts/Uncles! |
 |
| Makenna danced while she sang :-) |
 |
| In her element :-) |
 |
| A pajama rock star is born! |
 |
| Aunt Kathy and the girls. |
 |
| Teagan got a turn on the piano! |
 |
| This was literally Teagan's second day of sitting on her own...she looks like a natural. :-) |
 |
| Loven' it! |
 |
| Love the blurry hand!! |
 |
| Loving her cousin Jacky! |
 |
| No blossoms on the Mall, but still a great visit. |
 |
| Check out Miel's baby bump! |
 |
| Nice to visit after just going to Hyde Park. |
 |
| Marin Luther King's memorial in the background...it was very moving. |
 |
| Rain, rain...go away! |
 |
| Still LOVED DC! |
 |
| No blossoms...but still beautiful. |
 |
| The best part of the trip was seeing Makenna with her cousins, Maddy and Jacky! |
 |
| Aunt Kelly and Uncle Greg live just a block from the zoo. |
 |
| We even got to check out the pandas! |
 |
| Miel's little baby bump...looking great at 30 weeks! |
 |
| The girls loved playing in the rain on the balcony! |
 |
| They got soaked! |
 |
| But still had fun. |
 |
| We hosted a little shower of our own inside Miel's condo. :-) A great group of women! |
 |
| Lots of awesome baby stuff...thanks everyone!! |
