Zoo Day

Today is the last day of our Easter vacation. Aunt Cat, Uncle Erik, and Nathan came up to visit us for most of the week, and it was wonderful to be able to visit and hang out with them. Thursday was our first nice day while they were in town, so we packed all the kids up and headed to the zoo for the morning.

Jonas was in charge of the map. He loves to be in charge!

I was babysitting Hayden for a lot of the week, so he came too. He liked watching the sea lions, the bear cub, and the snow leopard...basically the things that were close and moving a lot :-) We were just in time to see the sea lions get fed!

The bear cub in the background was really playful and loved to play with the white barrel in the water. Nathan loved him!

The rhino - always one of Jonas' favorites

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! I am so blessed to be able to spend my Easter with my fantastic family. I hope your Easter was blessed, too! As always...here's some pictures to take you through our day. Jonas spent the morning with his dad. When he came home around 2, he informed me that he went to a BIG church, and got a cute stuffed froggy from the Easter bunny. He was thrilled to find out that the Easter bunny came to our apartment, too!

He found his basket in less than a minute - the Easter bunny really needs to find some better hiding spots :-)

His handsome outfit...

After finding the basket, we headed to our Uncle Tom's and Aunt Karen's house for dinner. Jonas had a blast playing with all his cousins - Bethany, Rebekah, Abby, Ben, Jack, Charlie, and Hayden! Yup, it was crazy.

The host of the party...we have such a weird family :-)

Pre-Easter Activities

We've already done some pretty fun Easter things, even though Easter is still 2 days away.

Dying Easter Eggs - It's amazing how much more patient the kids were this year. Their eggs actually turned out pretty! I also feel like I have to admit...the only broken egg was broken by...me!

School fun - Easter egg hunt, and decorating cut-out cookies!

And this is particularly Eastery, but we did it on the first day of Easter vacation, and I'm not making it a separate post. So here you go, some playground fun :-)

Spring Musical

Last week Jonas and Bethany performed in Trinity's spring musical. They did a great job, and looked really cute with all their matching t-shirts and jeans.

Also...a little plug here...Trinity is a great Christian school, and currently enrolling! Check it out (thinktrinitychristian.com) and share it with anyone who you think might be interested :-)

Now, enjoy some super adorable pictures of the kids!
