Legoland Pictures

For the past year we have had Legoland passes. It was fun, we didn't go a ton but plenty enough to get our money's worth. Lane loves Legos and no matter how many times we go he finds something that is really interesting or exciting to him. They have lots of Star Wars characters and models built throughout the park.
Legoland also has a water park. It was really hard for me to go there with Estelle last summer because she was so little and there isn't a lot of shade. So we tried it out again when we went on Sunday. It wasn't real warm out so Lane was the only one that actually got in. Estelle and I got our feet in the water and she enjoyed watching everyone. Here she is lounging at the water park :)
They were both very tired by the end of the day. I love it how they are both sleeping the same way in the car! I will miss our outings to Legoland, but now we have zoo passes again so that will keep us busy!

Easter

I finally made some Easter cookies. I think I have only done that once or twice before. I had to throw in a picture of them though :)

Before church on Easter morning I gave the kids their Easter baskets. To be honest I don't think we have ever done baskets for the kids. Grandma usually gets them a few things but this year between me and her I put together a little basket for each of them.

Estelle got pretty excited about hers. She later gave me the stick of Peeps she is holding in the picture and insisted I open it for her. When I wouldn't she had a little hissy fit. Fun! She knows what candy is a lot sooner than Lane did!

After church we got together with my friend Kelly and her family and had an egg hunt.
Grandpa Jim helped Estelle out.
Lane got the golden egg!
Estelle's first egg hunt. She did pretty good, she pretty much got the concept of putting the eggs in her basket. :)
More help from Grandpa.

Our pretty girl with her basket. I wish I would have gotten a picture of her in her Easter dress. Although I didn't get her a new dress, she just wore a hand me down one, she still looked pretty cute. It was a good week, now back to work and school this week!

Spring Break

We had a pretty low key spring break. We got to do some dog sitting for one of my friends in the neighborhood, so a black lab named Lila kept us company for the 10 days Lane was out of school. On Wednesday we met up with a couple of my sister Michele's friends who were visiting San Diego.

It was fun hanging out at the zoo with Kelly and Lisa and their families. A "little bit of Washington" came to visit us which was fun!

A few of the kids hanging out on one of the statues.

My dad also came to visit over Easter. He got here on Friday night and left today (Monday). We rode the ferry over to downtown and we toured the Midway and ate dinner at the Fish Market.

Lane was SO into the Midway. It is a retired aircraft carrier turned into a museum. They have the headphone tour and he was listening to as many as he could, not wanting to miss a thing! He was cracking me up and I loved that he was so interested in learning!
