Easter.

So after celebrating the REAL Easter at church, we proceeded to the "egg"-hunting part of the day at Grandma and Pawpaw's house (Pa Pa? I'm not sure how to spell it to distinguish it from Papa[razzi]).

Anyhoo...

GH&G, ready to hunt!

And here's a video...

And another video... Sorry this one's sideways, but it was cute!

More video!

And another video! Hueston wasn't really interested in the hunt, but he did enjoy this process!

I think Pawpaw was apologizing in this one...

G&G, coloring eggs.

Our family at 22 months!

Wordless Wednesday.

Happy Birthday, Papa!

ZOO.

We took a trip to the zoo on Thursday. It'll be even more fun once Hueston gets older, but at least there weren't crowds like the ones that prevented us going when Nana and Papa were visiting!

Watching the monkeys.

 There was a big swan in the water just beyond this fence.

Hueston shows off his elephant trunk.

Checking out the baby elephant statue.

Taking a lunch break.

Zebras!

Hueston was mostly more interested in shapes on the ground, trees, fallen leaves, and trash cans than animals... but he still had a good time!

Up close and personal with the penguins.

There were otters playing in this area - you just can't see them in this photo.

There was an informational display about alligators with buttons to push and lights and sound effects.

We think Hueston was actually looking at the tree rather than the bear.

Enjoying the train ride back to the zoo entrance.

Look, Mom, a camera!

Conked out in the car on the way home.

All in all, a good day.

Wordless Wednesday.

Nana & Papa's Visit.

In no particular order...

Going into the Botanical Gardens (in lieu of the zoo, which was crazy crowded due to spring break)

We spent most of the time following Hueston's lead.

Playing in the backyard.

Hueston loves cameras. I love the picture-in-picture thing we've got going on here.

Hueston did NOT want to pose - he wanted to RUN.

Walking up steps with Papa

Getting wet with Nana

Tuckered out on the way home from the Botanical Gardens

Waving to the friendly men who took away our lawn bags

Helping Papa play his trumpet

And here's a trumpet video.

Riding in the car with Mama as chauffeur

Reading books with Nana

David pacing, going over his sermon while the rest of us play in the backyard

Papa's insulin pump is FASCINATING.

Learning to brush hair

Watching Papa work on the computer

Morning playtime with Nana

Enjoying spaghetti

Coloring - this was a collaborative effort

We also ate fried chicken at Babe's, built block towers, took walks, played Scrabble, read books, practiced letters, sang songs, and generally had a good time.

It was a really fun visit - and we hope Nana and Papa will come back soon!
