Happy Easter

Sophie and Ian enjoyed coloring eggs and doing the egg hunt in our back yard. Here are some photos of our cute little bunnies. Most of all though, they had a blast searching for their Easter baskets Sunday morning.

Okaloosa Island

We spent spring break in Florida this year. We stayed in a condo right on the beach on Okaloosa Island.

Highlights of our week include:

-The Condo! …it was pretty awesome, the décor was great and the view was amazing and on top of that it was fully equipped with appliances, pots, pans, dishes, spices, soap, puzzles for the kids, DVD’s…you name it and they had it…

-dolphin sightings….we saw many and some were pretty close to the beach…

-Sophie didn’t find any cool shells but she found a sponge and a seagull skull on the last day…she thought that was the coolest thing ever!!

-visit to the science museum….they loved it! Sophie finally got to see a “real” sheep’s brain…she’s been saying for some time that she wants to see what a brain looks like.

-visit to Fort Walton air force base….John was the most excited about this…we all enjoyed the visit but he was like a kid in a candy store.

-eating at the Crab Trap…when Ian got his shrimp and French fry bucket he pulled out a French fry and said “ this French fry is as big as a walking stick!”…we all got a good laugh…thought you would too.

-huge military planes, helicopters flying low overhead while we were on the beach…several every day…it was pretty neat!

-lots of seagulls and pelicans…I even got a video of a seagull diving for a fish!

-we decided to stop off at the Mammoth Caves in KY on the way home. We just did the self guided tour so we didn’t see any cool formations but it was still really neat for the kids to see. We’ve decided to camp there sometime late spring or summer and do one of the longer tours.

Spring Fun

Well, I'm going to do a little catch up and do a 3 in 1. Sunday (March 29), Ian had a spring show called "Preschool Sings" at his preschool. It was cute as can be to see all of the little ones sing and do the hand gestures, dances, etc. that went along with each song. It was obvious that they had been practicing at school. Ian did a great job and participated well.




Today was Ian's Easter party at his preschool. I am one of the room moms and we kept the party simple with a craft, bingo game and large egg hunt. Boy, oh boy did the kids LOVE hunting for eggs. The teachers let us do the egg hunt outside and they really liked being outdoors. It just made me laugh to see how the kiddos could barely stand waiting until I said -GO! so they could start looking for the eggs. It was hilarious.








Sophie also had some friends over today to do spring crafts and play. They had such a fun time. I'll include a few pictures of Sophie and 2 of her friends from school (Natalee & Nicole).
