Saying Goodbye

We went to Grandma Leslie's and Grandpa Lyale's house to bid farewell to Uncle Bryan, Aunt Amy, James and Paige. They are moving to another state. It is sad to see them go, especially now as the kids are now at an age where they enjoy each other's company :(

The Carousel at the Zoo

Jaden had been on a carousel once at the fair when she was only 2 years old, so of course, she does not remember it. Morgan has never been on one, and I was anxious to see how she would resond because fake animals scare her. As you can see, she had fun and wasn't scared at all. James was on a horse right next Jaden. Aunt amy had to stand next to James, and I had to stand next to Morgan because they were too short to ride alone. It was a great way to wrap up our zoo adventure!

Easter Egg Hunt/ Birthday Party

Second Annual Easter Egg Hunt

My sister-in-law Amy started this Easter Egg Hunt thing last year. It is a family get together, and it is a lot of fun. Since she has a lot of family in the area, it is almost like a mini-family reunion. Basically, all of the cousins, and anyone who is related, plus a few friends come out to the hunt. All of the children bring 12 filled plastic eggs a piece. The adults hide all of the eggs, and then, the kids pull them out of the bushes, trees, grass, and other random places.

Plus, Amy has made it into a birthday party for her two kids since they are both born in April... So, there is a pinata and cupcakes. Lots of fun!!! What a great idea!! (it sure beats taking the kids to a crowded event!)
