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.

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.

EASTER

Easter morning was lots of fun and excitement at our house. The girls loved finding their baskets and all the eggs that the Easter Bunny hid. Then we went to Church, and after that we went to Grandma & Papa's house for Easter dinner. The girls had lots of fun jumping on the trampoline, and trying out all their new stuff.

EASTER BUNNY VISIT

As we do every year we took the girls to get a picture with the Easter Bunny. This year we went to The Woods in Maple Grove again, although this year we had much better weather than last year. Everything was outside this year and the kids were able to see all the animals and walk around without being so crowded. Ally loved petting all the animals especially the little ducks. They had baby ducks, chicks, bunnies and lambs. They were all so very very cute. We had a lot of fun!! Abby even brought the Easter bunny some flowers (a few weeds she found in the yard), and told him her long list of wishes for Easter.
