New Toys

We had planned on getting Martin a Sand and Water Table for Easter, but since this March was the hottest March on record, the Easter Bunny delivered it early!  And, Martin LOVES it.  He really likes mixing the sand and water, and enjoys dumping the sand in the yard.  

Sandy!

Making a mess memories

Dumped the clean water

Fun with Dad

This is great!

And, he got a new slide for outside.  We played inside for a few days to get the hang out of it, but we have since moved it outside.  He loves it too.  It really got some use when Luke, Ashley and Stephen came up for a visit.  The boys went up and down at least 100 times.

Cousin Fun

Breakfast time is so much better when you have a cousin to enjoy it with

Ashley, Stephen and Luke came up so we could take the boys to the zoo.  The kids had a great time!!  And, so did the adults.  We put our new membership to good use.  I know we are going to get our money's worth out of that!  We even got to see the new Dino exhibit--although I think Stephen enjoyed it more than the boys.

It's ok Luke, the tigers can't get us

Egg Fun

Like this mom?  I just put it in there?

Oh my word!  He licked me with that huge black tongue!!!!

Still trying to recover!

Picking Buddha's nose

Hey, let's slap his belly!

Panda Bears are great when they are behind the glass

And, a full day at the zoo always ends in a bath!!

The kids had a great time, and were very well behaved, especially considering neither one had a nap!  They loved it all.  We had a great weekend visiting.
