Spring Break at Maymont

Wednesday afternoon we decided to head over to Maymont. They were having all kinds of extra stuff for spring break.

We saw animals.....
Abby didn't get too close to the goat.

She did a little better with the duck.

We went on a hayride.

This is what pulled us along.

Abby and Daddy enjoying the beautiful weather.

Andrew and Mama having fun.

Finally, it's time for the Moonbounce.

My Hokie Boys!

Dear God

Last night, right after dinner, Abby started asking us for something to drink. We told her she had to wait until bedtime (she always has water then) because she did not finish her milk at dinner. We did her Bible Story, which was about people who were mad at Jesus. Then she said her prayer, which went something like this: "Dear God, thank you for everything and everybody, and for people who don't know you and are mad, and please help me get a drink"
Rick and I were laughing so hard we were almost crying.

Hippy in NYC

Abby showed me a "picture" on her pretend cell phone.  She said, "this is Hippy in New York City. He went with his dad to see the Yankees.  His mom didn't go because she likes racing not baseball."

Can you tell there's been a lot of talk about baseball and the Yankees' first game in our house?

Bring on Spring Break

Abby officially started spring break today. I am hoping she won't get too bored...she was very upset when we told her no school this week.

On Tuesday I signed her up for a Romp N Roll day camp. We have playgroup on Friday, and hopefully Rick can sneak away on Thursday for a trip to Maymont. I also bought one of those bunny-shaped cake pans so we can make a bunny cake. But I forgot to buy eggs so we won't be making it today. When I told Abby, she offered some of her plastic egg-hunt eggs to the cause. Good idea, but that wouldn't taste so good!

Two Little Bunnies

Abby and Andrew enjoyed meeting the Easter Bunny at the mall yesterday. This is a picture of a picture but you can sorta see it. They also really loved the bunny ears they got.

Fun with Easter Eggs
