This week is Spring Break for Rhett's mom so she and his dad made the trek to our house for a few days. We all love a good Yaya and Poppa visit. They are good to the girls and keep them constantly entertained in so many ways.
Cate, Yaya, and Poppa went to the National Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center where Cate got to see her first movie. We thought a 40-minute IMAX with no scary characters would be a nice trial--and she did pretty well except for asking questions at full volume throughout the entire show :) What can I say, the girl has an inquisitive mind.
She got to see a view of earth from space and was mostly delighted that our planet appears to be, at least a little, pink.
Of course that was her observation.
We also made some pinecone bird feeders, which actually turned out to be squirrel feeders. It was a team effort--I picked up some pinecones on a dog walk, Yaya put them on strings, Poppa and Cate slathered on peanut butter, and Cate rolled everything in birdseed.

| A liiiiittle over-excited to hang a pinecone... |

| Come and get it, squirrels! |
I did see a few cardinals and robins hanging out by the tree where we hung the feeders, but mostly I saw squirrels on kamikaze missions to bring the cones down. And down they came. Oh well...we tried!
Yaya and Poppa also cooked an early birthday dinner for Rhett, made me guacamole, took the girls to the playground, did some errands for me, and made the girls laugh a lot. Come back soooooooon!
