Swinging into Spring

We hate to rub in our beautiful weather while everyone else seems to be having so many storms and bad weather but we are just loving being outside these days. Last week we enjoyed the beach and the pool several times. Ty is starting to learn how to use his bodyboard and ride waves in. He enjoys it until he gets caught in the water with his mouth or eyes open. He does not enjoy the salt. Aidan loves the beach simply because she can run non-stop. She runs up and down the beach and then into the water. We went to see Disney on Ice and the kids were just mesmerized. They had a whole princess part that Aidan couldn't take her eyes off. Then all the villains came out, Captain Hook, Jafar, etc- Ty was thrilled. However, both Aidan and Ty couldn't stay in their seats when all the toy story characters came out. It was so much fun to see their faces. We had a big weekend of Easter fun. We went to a big easter egg hunt where the easter bunny showed up. Aidan stalked him everywhere he went and kept cutting the line to go give him hugs. She cried when it was time to actually hunt the eggs because that meant we had to leave the easter bunny behind. Ty LOVES coloring the eggs. He kept asking when we could color the "spoiled eggs", he didn't realize we were calling them boiled eggs. As tradition for us Sunday morning Ty and Aidan got up and began searching for their baskets hidden somewhere in the house. One of Aidan's favorite things in her basket was her dress up Minnie Mouse. Ty was excited about several different things but was especially thrilled with the pj's he had asked for. We are getting ready for a whirlwind month of May, traveling just about the entire month. It will be busy but we are looking forward to a lot of exciting things.
