Easter Fun

We have been having a lot of fun getting ready for Easter.
At the Egg Hunt in Frisco on a very chilly Saturday morning. There were so many eggs and so few kids that Aidan's basket was overflowing. Making special 'Bunny Cakes' that Aidan picked out of a newspaper ad.
The finished product. The ones with letters were for Mommy, Daddy, Aidan and Aunt Karen, who was in town for the weekend. on the last two he told us to make a one and a seven. Why? I don't know.
At the egg hunt at the ballpark in Frisco. What a difference in weather a week makes.Taking a few swings in the bullpen.Coloring Easter Eggs. We painted them instead of dipping in dye. (Have you noticed Aidan has finally learned to smile in pictures instead of making his goofy grin.)

Aloha!

We have returned from our wonderful vacation in Hawaii. The weather was beautiful and allowed us to enjoy the beach and the pool everyday. Aidan was old enough this year to truly enjoy the ocean and everything that was going on. We got plenty of rest and relaxation which was much needed. If only Spring Break came more than once a year.

For some reason Aidan loved having Darren blow water right into face from the swim noodle. This went on for some time before Darren ran out of breath.
Aidan's shocked expression after feeling the cold water that was coming down a mountain stream into the ocean.

Aidan modeling his lei (which he wore sash-style). He jumped up on the stage and yelled "Welcome to Spring Break".

Aidan is a ukulele master. He wanted to play every one he saw in the stores. We finally bought him one as a souvenir. His performance videos will be posted soon.Aidan's favorite hotel feature was the automatic footwasher. He hopped on as soon as he had one grain of sand on his toes.

Camp Out

We decided to go on a family camping trip last weekend. We had fun despite the temperature dipping into the 20's at night. Aidan enjoyed hiking outside and roasting marshmallows on the fire. Aidan even caught his first fish.

Go Mavs!

Last week, Aidan and Darren went to the Mavericks game with some friends from church. Aidan is such a good fan. I love his different expressions during the game.
