We did a day trip to the Biltmore with Nels's parents. Overall, the twins did awesome and we all enjoyed ourselves. Of course, I took a ton of pictures. You are not allowed to take pictures inside the mansion..but I still ended up with a lot.
I accidentally forgot about the rule of no cameras so these first two are from inside the house. There is a garden area and Kira just climbed right up on the bench and sat down, so cute. I started snapping pictures.
Oh, look at those grins!
On the balcony of the Biltmore, Kira made herself comfortable.
The view...kind of bland in early spring.
Love her smile.
Kira did not want to be in the family pic. Look at those stiff legs, haha.
Isak and Kira climbed up and down every stair. They loved it.
And we carried their strollers for them. But once in a while they did get tired and we were glad we had the strollers.
The gardens...here are the twins just taking a leisurely walk together
Daffodils and crocuses were in bloom.
Here's the crew headed to the conservatory.
Can you see Kira peeking between my legs?
Oh, there she is!
On the walk to the conservatory, Kira fell and bruised/scraped her eye and Isak fell and bit his lip. So they both got some injuries.
Took time to take some family photos.
They did this one all on their own. Poor Isak's lip got pretty big.
But aren't they adorable!
See under Kira's eye a bit scraped up...
Since the kids didn't want to be in the pictures with us before, I asked Nels's dad to just take one of Nels and me. Before he could take the picture look who willingly decided to join us! haha.
Lots of walking.
Far Far and Isak holding hands.
Nels being silly with his mama.
But here is a good one!
I liked this view of the house.
So I asked Nels's parents to hop in the picture....well, the twins did it again and ran to be in the picture too. We were all laughing.
Then they just ran around.
But after some running, they just decided to stand by each other...on their own!! I was dying!
Melt my heart!
I tried to imagine being a little girl and growing up in the big house. Little Kira in her red jacket helped me picture it better.
I really liked my outfit for the day. :)
This is a favorite!
Yay for happy parents!
We stopped at Antler Village and saw some chickens and goats. The kids seemed to enjoy it.
Such a sweet boy...most of the time. :)
Sweet moment.
This was an interesting chicken....the white chicken has feathers on its feet.
Little Kira kept her hands away from the pecking chickens.
The goats were fun to watch too.
After Antler Village we stopped at Juicy Lucy's for some big burgers. Then we drove home and the kids zonked out. So it was a peaceful drive home. :)
And I'll post my favorite picture again. Me with Prince Charming and our castle in the background. heehee.
