What kids say

We are in the backyard the other day - myself Katie, Bill and a friend. I was showing her around the backyard. We have a storage unit back there and was telling her what was inside - Bills truck, lawn mower, snow blower... Katie hears snow blower and asks what that is. So I ask her " What does it sound like " Her reply " brrruuuummmm"
Hysterical
I could just bottle her up
Enjoy your kids while they are young
I know we are

Beach Day

It was up to 92 on Wednesday ( aka girls day ) so we packed up the car and went to the beach. I was actually ill prepared for the beach but we did OK. Definitely had the sun screen - some towels , buckets and change of clothes. Could of used the stroller and an umbrella.
You could not believe how cold the water was. It literally hurt your feet if in the water for more then 30 seconds.
Had some great waves. And the beach was packed - just not a lot of people in the water.
Katie was having fun running up and down being chased by the waves

Almost looks like she is surfing here
It was a good day. Walked back to the car with ice cream in hand - good way to end a day at the beach

Easter

What a wonderful day. Katie woke up to an Easter egg hunt inside. We hid plastic eggs filled with toys and a basket filled with dresses and her princess band-aids that she wanted. Thank you Easter Bunny she said - what a good kid.
I picked up these HUGE Easter eggs saturday morning at a garage sale. I hid them around the backyard. It was a little damp and foggy but I think she had fun finding them.

After breakfast we loaded up the car and drove to Long Island to my brother Scott's house. Katie put on her Easter outfit when we got there. She was very happy to be in her dress and stayed it in all day. What a cutie!

Scott had hid some Easter eggs for the kids. They found them all then took turns hiding them again.
Scott recently adopted this small horse from the shelter, Jessie. What a wonderful dog.
The kids dyed some Easter eggs.
Afterwards it was an Easter egg spoon run. Katie could not run enough that day. Here you can see how excited she is.
Not sure if you can see it close enough but she is holding the egg on the spoon - not technically legal.
All in all a great day. Katie had a blast and its always good to get the family together.
Happy Easter Everyone
