SLIP-N-SLIDE

The girls got a new slip-n-slide from the Easter Bunny, and they have been begging since Easter to set it up, so yesterday when it was 90+ degrees outside we braved the wind and got out the slip-n-slide. Abby invited some of her friends and the girls had a blast running through it despite almost being blown away....I think I was the only one bothered by the wind. They also enjoyed freezies, thanks to Grandma & Auntie Jen, and oreos. It was a lot of fun, and we cannot wait for more summer days to come....without the wind!

THE EGGS HAVE HATCHED!

On Sunday we noticed that 2 of the 3 eggs had hatched and then yesterday the third one finally hatched. The birds are so tiny, and not very cute or cuddly looking, but the girls like watching them, and Mrs. Robin (thats what we call the momma bird). They make the cutest little chirping noises.

ABBY'S ZOO FIELDTRIP

Abby's preschool class took a field trip to the Minnesota Zoo. I went with as one of the chaperones. We had lots of fun walking around and seeing all the animals. It seemed as though the animals were there to entertain us. They seemed really happy and liked all the attention they got. It was a great field trip!

Abby & her friend, Alyseia riding on the bus....they both have their nails painted, which is a huge deal in preschool, I am told.

The gibbon.....he kept walking back and forth on the rope and then swinging real fast, it was cool to watch him.

Abby & Alyseia looking at the bear...this bear kept swimming back and forth with big stick, and was looking at all the people....it was fun to watch.

A dolphin

A seahorse....one of my favorites

The stingrays....Abby was touching these, and she thought that was pretty cool.

A ROBINS NEST

The girls and I discovered this robin's nest with three eggs in it under our deck. We are so excited for them to hatch. I think the color of the eggs is so pretty. I will attempt to get a picture after they hatch, but I don't want to upset the mama bird.

BOWLING

For Family Home Evening a few weeks back we decided to take the girls bowling. Abby loved every minute of it, Ally thought it was fun for about 30 seconds, and then thought running off and having us chase her was more entertaining, which I am sure was for everyone but US!! Abby did really good, she gets so excited and she even got a spare on her last frame. It was a really fun Family Night for us. We even brought Uncle Stephen with.
