Myseum

A couple weeks ago we took Benjamin to Myseum which gears towards science. It reminds me of the Magic House buy a lot smaller. We still had a blast and learned some interesting things.

This was by far his favorite 

Papa

More sad news to report...Papa went to the hospital mid last week due to some chest pains and after a lot of test they discovered that he has liver cancer. It is so bad and too late to do anything about it. They have already put him on home hospice since they can't do anything for him. He kind of knows, but doesn't really remember. I just don't know if I can handle losing both of my grandpa's in the same year let alone this close together. The one thing that I do know is that both of my grandma's are very strong women...

Easter Activities

Yesterday afternoon Benjamin and I went to Bug-A-Boo's (my sister) house to get ready for Easter. We dyed eggs and Benjamin said all of them looked like daddy. We made treats: chocolate peanut-butter Easter eggs, cheesecake nest and brownie nest.

Purina Farms

The Haupt's and I decided to try out Purina Farms on Sunday and it happened that their Springtime Village was open for Easter. We were able to get a photo with Peter Cottontail and they had a petting area with all kinds of animals. We even got to see some of the dog show until it got too windy and cold outside.

Eckert's Easter

Eckert's is my favorite place to go with Benjamin. Whenever I have an opportunity to go we are there. They have there Easter Egg-citement going on now so we we took advantage and went with Tina and her family. We got to hunt for eggs, go on a tractor ride, pet some baby chicks & bunnies, decorate a cookie, plant a seed and of course see the Easter bunny (which we had to do three times because Benjamin is in love with him). We decided to eat lunch there as we have never eaten at the restaurant and didn't even get the fried chicken which they are famous for.

 We need one of these! 

The Easter bunny gave these to him and had to bring them to school today to show everyone! 

Easter Bunny Fun

This past Saturday Megan thought that it would be a great idea if all the kiddos went Easter egg hunting at Whitecliff Park and then come over to her house afterwards for some brunch so the kiddos could play and the parents could drink!! It was a perfect day outside and I always love hanging out with everyone. Hopefully this is a new tradition we will be having yearly! 

ZOO

David and I decided that it was time to take Benjamin to the Zoo and we didn't bring a stroller. Let's just say he did great and was running the whole time except for the last 15 minutes that David had to carry him because he kept saying he was tired. We did it smart and got there right when it opened so found parking very easy and wasn't crowded at all until we were leaving, three hours later. We walked around the whole park and saw ALL the animals, I think his favorite were the hippos as they were very playful with each other. After the Zoo we headed to the Delmar Loop and eat lunch outside at Snarf's. OMG, that place was good and has great sandwiches! Here are a couple of pics from yesterday fun. 

Benjamin was refusing a nap so David took him to the park and this is what finally happened at 5:45pm...mommy was mean and only let it happen for about 45 minutes.
