It was a good<br \/>\n    time. We had a long drive home though and not one of our better<br \/>\n    trips, so now I&#8217;m exhausted. I know everyone is eagerly<br \/>\n    awaiting photos though, so here are a few.<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5497-737953.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5497-737945.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; font-style: italic;\">We went to<br \/>\n    see Up in 3D at the theater. Our second attempt at the theater<br \/>\n    and this time we made it all the way to the end! I don&#8217;t think<br \/>\n    the movie is aimed at 2 and 4yr olds though. There were<br \/>\n    definitely some scary scenes and at one point I took the kids<br \/>\n    out for a few minute because they seemed scared. For the last<br \/>\n    half hour or so Eve sat on my lap and asked every few minutes<br \/>\n    if it was time to go home yet. But she&#8217;s a trooper and made it<br \/>\n    all the way through. I wanted to take a picture of everyone<br \/>\n    wearing their 3D glasses (everyone except Lex, who refused to<br \/>\n    wear them) but the previews had already started and it didn&#8217;t<br \/>\n    seem appropriate. So here is a picture of Eve wearing the<br \/>\n    glasses while she &#8220;drives&#8221; after the movie. She liked the<br \/>\n    glasses a lot and alternated between wearing them on her head<br \/>\n    and on her belly, equally amused by both :)<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px auto\n    10px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5503-737979.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5503-737973.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; font-style: italic;\">We had a lot<br \/>\n    of screen time this weekend :) Here they are with Uncle B,<br \/>\n    learning to play Mema&#8217;s favorite computer game.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px auto\n    10px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5506-738008.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5506-738001.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; font-style: italic;\">Always a new<br \/>\n    hat to try on.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5526-738039.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5526-738029.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-style:\n    italic;\">This is what Lex did all weekend and what he&#8217;s been<br \/>\n    looking forward to for weeks now. Playing with the Hess truck<br \/>\n    collection. These trucks were Barney&#8217;s when he was a kid and<br \/>\n    Lex LOVES them.<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align:\n    center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5532-775239.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5532-775232.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-style:\n    italic;\">This isn&#8217;t a great picture, but I feel like it sums<br \/>\n    up my photography efforts with Lex lately. This should have<br \/>\n    been beautiful, trees, bright colors, etc, but he saw the<br \/>\n    camera and did his paparazzi dodging move. Mom says maybe he&#8217;s<br \/>\n    tired of having his picture taken (we must have many hundreds<br \/>\n    of thousands of pictures of this kid by now) but I say he&#8217;s<br \/>\n    young and had better get used to it! :) He says nothing, just<br \/>\n    runs away.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px;\n    text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5540-775266.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5540-775259.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; font-style: italic;\">Eve, hard at<br \/>\n    work with the markers. I wish I had turned on the video camera<br \/>\n    here because she did some crazy moves in an effort to get into<br \/>\n    a comfortable laying down position. She seemed to have the end<br \/>\n    goal in mind, but just wasn&#8217;t sure how to maneuver her body<br \/>\n    properly. It was hysterical. Anyway, she loves coloring with<br \/>\n    markers. Notice how well she holds the pen? She likes to<br \/>\n    &#8220;write&#8221; with little squiggles and lines. Lex does the same<br \/>\n    thing and calls it his &#8220;fancy writing.&#8221; At this rate she may be<br \/>\n    writing before he does!<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align:\n    center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5548-775293.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_5548-775287.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-style:\n    italic;\">Like I said, lots of screen time. This time it&#8217;s<br \/>\n    his Starfall games. They are good for his brain at least.
