Zoo

Ashley & I took the girls, Alyssa, Alexia, & Haylee to the zoo in Atlanta. It was my and & Alyssa's first time. We have a membership now so we can visit as often as we'd like!

Alexia & Alyssa are anxiously waiting for the next siting of animals.

Haylee is lovin the ride!

We stopped at the petting zoo. Alexia jumped right in to get a brush. She went around to as many animals as she could to get a brushing in.

This is about as close as Alyssa would get to the animals. ha! She liked looking at them, but was not about to get close enough to touch them.

This is the cutest picture! They were mezmorized by seeing a panda.

We definitely got our work out in! Picking up the girls to see some of the animals. Pulling them around the whole place. They loved it!

Behind the girls, you can see a zebra and giraffe.

This is hilarious. Alyssa has already found her own nose and does this every time she thinks something may be in there. It was funny that she poked her fingers up the gorilla's nose as soon as she walked up to the statue.

Us big girls had just as much fun as the little girls with our visit to the zoo. We'll definitely be going back!

Easter

We had friends and family over on Easter day for a scrumptous lunch by Chef Candace, who unknowingly left the pasta salad and rolls in the fridge. None the less all was full. Our delectable dirt cake was complete with Easter decor by mom. The Easter Egg hunt was a hit with the kids. It got quite hot out, but we enjoyed being outdoors anyway.

Alyssa was pretty competitive with the hunt. She didn't care that she had eggs spilling over the top of her bucket as she walked, she still wanted more!

She enjoyed her flower headband from her Easter basket that morning.

The kids dyed and decorated eggs with their cousins which was a first. They had a great time & were very creative! Even Alyssa wanted to color and dye an egg, but she didn't make it to the dye before she bit right into the shell.

Slide

Alyssa loves being outside! Even when the weather was still too cold to play outside, she wanted to go. Almost everyday we get home from daycare now, she starts the chanting, 'outside!, outside!'. She got this slide or as she calls it 'house' from Aunt Marci about a week ago since Landon had outgrown it a bit and she loves it! Thanks Aunt Marci!
