Easter and Bluebonnets

P1120339.JPG

We were egged by someone we know this Easter. We aren't sure who.


P1120342.JPG

Levi had fun searching


P1120344.JPG

It was a nice little preview of the coming fun.


P1120346.JPG

He showed Bethany his eggs


P1120349.JPG

She was a fan of them.

We also did an Easter dinner and egg hunt over and Levi’s paw paw and Nana’s house, but I don’t have the pictures uploaded yet for some reason.

On Good Friday we went to the zoo for Bethany's first trip


P1120353.JPG

We looked at the fountain and the fish in it.

It is a very nice area at the zoo to relax


P1120355.JPG

After the fountain we checked out the Meerkats


P1120368.JPG

And the primates. The orangutan actually moved over to be closer to us


P1120370.JPG

Levi likes trying to find where the cats are hiding


P1120371.JPG

Its a little challenge


P1120373.JPG

We got a good pose with him and mommy


P1120381.JPG

Bethany is a lot easier to capture


P1120385.JPG

Carousel ride

This time Levi decided he wanted to ride a caterpillar


IMG_20130329_155314.jpg

Not sure why, maybe because we have some at home right now.


P1120388.JPG

Family picture, of course the kids aren't looking at the camera.

For Easter Bethany received a sock monkey from her Aunt Linda, Uncle Kenny and cousins Liz and Laura

She really likes Monkey-Bunny and has been holding onto it a lot

P1120414.JPG

We managed to get no family pictures at all, but here are the kids with me


P1120418.JPG

On the way to Easter dinner we did Bluebonnet pictures. Here's the kids.


P1120431.JPG

Levi wouldn't take his shades off, it was apparently too bright.


P1120442.JPG

Bethany wanted to eat a flower


P1120453.JPG

Mommy got in there with them. We needed some shades for Bethany to match


P1120463.JPG

So stinking cute


P1120481.JPG

It has become almost an Easter tradition to have the Esbecks over with us for Easter dinner at Mimi's house. Here's Olivia egg hunting


P1120482.JPG

Wrigley doesn't quite get this egg hunt thing, but balls are fun.


P1120483.JPG

Some of the eggs were a little hard to find


P1120485.JPG

Wrigley found one of his.


P1120487.JPG

Ducks were watching


P1120490.JPG

Olivia's dad Jesse came in with an assist


P1120494.JPG

Squinkies are fun!

Bethany slept through the whole hunt and when she woke up it was raining, so she opened her stuff inside

It was another great easter and we had a fun time together.

Armand Bayou

This year Levi’s class gets to go on field trips. We went to Armand Bayou Nature Center with the group.

P1050479.JPG

Wade got to keep the rope and used it as a belt. Levi didn't want to make one for himself.


P1050480.JPG

This is where they make sugar from the sugar cane they grown


P1050484.JPG

The class all squished together with Ms. Miranda. Levi's face is because he was getting squished
