Marine World

I know it is not called this anymore, but I can't help it. I grew up calling Six Flags, Marine World and it will always be that for me. I was a charter member, went to camp there, volunteered there, work there and grew up with it in my back yard. So close, in fact, that on quiet nights you could hear the sea lions barking at our house.
We got season passes this year! YAY!! We went last weekend. It was a great time had by all. Madison loved the rides, for the most part, (except the water ride we went on and got totally drenched...see photos belown) loved the animals and the shows. Mackenzie loved the seeing the animals, too and just being outside!

Easter at the "HOME"

My grandpa lives in a retirement home, he loves it there and we are so happy for him. He has lots of lady friends and loves to gossip about everyone there. It does our hearts good to have him so content. Every year the little ladies put on an Easter Egg Hunt the day before Easter. We have attended the last several years and it is so fun to see all the residents come out to watch the great-grand kids join in the fun.


Madison and her cousin Antonio made out like bandits, not only do they have candy in the eggs, but little pieces of paper that correspond to prizes. They got airplanes, sand pails, Slinky's, jump ropes, play dough, pencils, stuffed animals and water games. It is such a wonderful event and we can't wait to go back next year!



Even the residents got into the fun!! Check out Ida dancing with the pail on her head! :)

Bounce U and Bunnies

Over Spring Break we headed to Bounce U to an open bounce session and we lucked out live bunnies made a visit! It was so cute, it is a rescue center for bunnies. The kids got to bounce and play with bunnies!

WEEEE!
Mommy and Kenzie (she wasn't too sure about the bouncing part)

But she loved the bunnies!


She even got to pet one!
