Monkey Joes

We spent the morning bouncing with 

Athena and Sebastian at Monkey Joe's today.

Super Fun way to spend the morning!

Whitewater Center Duck Races

Yesterday we went to the National Whitewater Center 

for the Kindermourn Duck Races.

Over 20,000 Rubber Ducks "swam"in the whitewater 

and the boys loved seeing them.

In addition to watching the ducks, the boys each decorated their own to take home.

After the race, we sat by the water with our picnic dinner 

and watched the whitewater rafters go by.

The boys cheered for the rafters and were fascinated when a couple boats flipped!

The boys found kid-size rock climbing walls and were dare-devils!

Kings of the Mountain!

We sat by the waters edge and really enjoyed the gorgeous day.

Such a fabulous afternoon.

Camping Schmamping

After the soccer and tee ball games were over yesterday, Gill took Patrick and Finn to a Cubscout Campout.  Sully and I had the entire day to ourselves, and while camping may be fun for some - we proved you definitely don't need to do it to have a good time!

First, we went to the Museum of York County for their Earth Day Celebration

Sully rode a pony

and a kayak (sans water)

The Earth Day celebration was fun, but a bit too crowded, so we headed down the street to the Rock Hill Children's Museum for a couple hours of playtime.

When the museum closed, Sully asked me out to dinner.  

How could I refuse dinner at Newks with my favorite guy?

 

We ended our day with a stroll along the river at the Riverwalk.  

We watched the boats and threw rocks into the river

This morning, Sully strolled into my room quite early, 

only to remind me that it was time for donuts!  

Before 7am, we were home from Dunkin Donuts 

and curled up on the couch enjoying the treats.

I'm sure the guys are having a good campout, but we had a great time, too!

Strawberry Picking

Today, Sully and I headed to the strawberry patch for the first pick of the season!

He picked over 4 pounds of bright red berries.  

Sully was VERY careful not to pick any green ones and did 

an awesome job finding the biggest ones he could.

It was an absolutely beautiful day - bright blue sky and cool breeze.  

We met Sully's buddies at the patch.  

Sully and Eli helped each other find the best strawberries while 

sweet Baby Wyatt tried to eat every strawberry he could get his hands on!

After picking, Sully carried around his basket of berries 

while enjoying his 2nd strawberry slushy of the morning.

Such a great morning!

Easter Sunday

It must have been the carrot cake that Patrick left out for him, 

but the Easter Bunny left the boys some great baskets on Easter Morning.  

Filled with all things Lego and Ninja Turtles, 

the boys had a great time opening the goodies!

After breakfast, we put on our Sunday best 

and headed to church with MJ and Bernie.

After Mass, we all went to a delicious brunch at Ilios Noche 

and then back to Nannie and PopPop's house 

for an Easter Egg Hunt and dessert.

It was such a special family day.

Happy Easter!

Easter Saturday

Yesterday was a day filled with lots of Eggs, Friends and A Bunny!

In the morning, we met the White Family at the Community Rec Center.

The boys visited with the Easter Bunny

We did a few Easter Crafts and then it was time for the big hunt!

The boys collected over 20 eggs each and Finn even won a super SpiderMan Easter Basket!

In the afternoon we headed to the Coziers for a great dinner.

The kids did face painting and crafts before dinner.

After dinner, Andrew hid tons of eggs in the basement and the kids had a blast finding them all.

The 5 sweet friends ended the night curled up on the couch together watching Nemo.

What a fun way to spend the day with our family friends!

Happy Easter!

Patrick Pedals!

We are so proud of Patrick.  

When Gill offered this weekend, 

he jumped right on the bike without training wheels and just started going!  

No hesitation, no fear - Patrick is off, and there is no stopping him!

Go Patrick, Go!

Egg Hider

Today Patrick and Finn had an Egg Hunt at school.   

I was in charge of hiding over 250 eggs in the outdoor courtyard.   

I knew the job was too big for just one mommy, 

so I enlisted some super help!

Sully came to school with me and helped me hid the eggs.  

In fact, he hid 100 eggs all by himself!

The class had a great time at the egg hunt and 

all the big kids kept giving special eggs for Sully to keep.

Sullys Easter Party

Sully had his preschool Easter Party today.  

The kids all decorated baskets and then went outside for an Egg Hunt.

Sully collected 14 eggs and waited patiently until he got home 

to open up the eggs and dig into the candy!

Such a fun party!
