Looks like spring is here!

We have had some wonderful weather the last couple weeks! We are spending as much time outside as we can!

We made a trip our first trip of the summer to zoo! Josh was thrilled, because we had a special treat of seeing an elephant get a bath. He talked about it for days! For Chelsea, this was the first time she was actually awake while we were there. She seemed to enjoy it, as well.

We went to cousin Brooklynn's house for her birthday party! Josh (with the help of his Daddy) learned how to climb a tree. He was absolutely thrilled sitting "up high." Me? Not so much.

One of our playgroup friends arranged a trip to a local Fire Dept. Josh was thrilled. He wore his Fire Fighter coat, and was so excited to sit in the seat. He still talks about "touching a Fire Truck!"

The next day we made use of our Aviary membership. Other than not being allowed to throw pretzels to the ducks, Josh enjoyed himself. We were lucky enough to be there on the same day as a school trip, and we saw a special presentation on their penguins.

Yesterday was the first birthday party for our playgroup. We had over 200 people there from all over the area. It was so much fun. We have been planning it for almost 4 months, and it was wonderful to have it finally be happening, and have it be perfect! I honestly can't believe we've been a part of MoMo for over a year already. I'm not sure what I did without them!

April Showers...

...haven't stopped us! We have been taking advantage of the warm weather, and have been outside quite a bit. We have a lot of playdates in the park scheduled, a trip to the zoo coming up, as well as the 1st Birthday Party for our Playgroup!

We made a visit to the Children's Museum for the first time! We enjoyed it so much, we opted to purchase a membership - the plan we purchased includes membership to the Aviary as well, so we'll be making some extra trips there, too! Josh really enjoyed the waterplay area at the Museum - and thankfully I had been given the heads up to bring an extra change of clothing!

Thanks to one of our MoMo friends, we've discovered a new park! There is an awesome climbing structure with slides and tunnels that Josh adores. We're planning on playing there a lot this summer!

To help celebrate the coming of spring, we decided a trip to Sarris for ice cream was in order! 9 MoMo's and their kids met for lunch first, then we all trekked over to the best chocolate factory / ice cream parlor in the area. We had a lot of fun. Josh and I shared a hot fudge sundae. If you had asked Josh, you would have thought it was Christmas all over again. He REALLY enjoyed it.

After our ice cream, we were able to visit with friends we hadn't seen for awhile. They've added a new addition to the family, and are starting to get back into the swing of things. Josh's little girlfriend Ella missed him a lot!
