Slides and Easter

2014-04-21

I have more pictures than usual this week because I had lots of fun.

The first few are from me getting ready for school in the morning:

Looking at Freya's picture.

Showing Duke my new tiger shirt.

Mommy, wear your hat.

Building tunnels.

On Friday we went to stay with Grandma Wynne and Grandpa Al. We stopped on the way to try out some slides.

Grandma Wynne and Grandpa Al gave me a bucket of toys for Easter.

Some Easter presents.

And of course Grandpa decided the bucket was a hat...

Buckethead.

We went to the zoo on Saturday to see the farm babies. The sun was shining when we got there, but then clouds filled up the sky and the wind was blowing. We still had fun - the bears were up and moving around (and they went swimming!); the tigers were playing (no picture of that, though); and the tractor was pulling wagons to the farm. Mommy and Daddy didn't bring the stroller, so I walked the whole time we were at the zoo.

We rode in a wagon pulled by a tractor to get to the farm at the zoo. I was very excited.

At the farm there were piglets and chicks and calves that had all been born just a few days ago. I was more interested in a tractor I found in a barn.

On the way out of the zoo, we played on the playground and I went down some slides.

On the State Bird (life-size).

More slide.

And another slide.

In the grain elevator before going down the slide - I'm tall!

When we got back to Grandma and Grandpa's house I played with Grandpa and Grandma while Mommy and Daddy took a nap. Then we built a LEGO airplane and watched the movie Planes. I stayed up way too late.

We went to Josh and Kara and Freya's house with Grandma Gail on Sunday. But first we went to church - and the church had a playground with a slide, so you can probably guess what happened.

We had dinner at Josh and Kara and Freya's house with Nancy, Dave, Michael, and Molly. And then we went hunting for Easter eggs.

After I found all the eggs (with a little help), we all went inside to open them. Some eggs had crackers, which I ate. Some eggs had money, which I will feed to my piggy bank at home. I also got lots of presents but Daddy was helping me open them and forgot to take pictures. I got lots of Play-Doh and toys to play with Play-Doh. Thanks for my presents everybody!
