Great Adventure Season Begins

Six Flags Great Adventure has opened! We bought our season passes and hit the rides on this beautiful day. Katie had to get her own pass this year - I imagine we will be using it a lot.
There is this huge jungle gym type play ground for the kids to play on - Katie loves it. It has slides and rope ladders and bridges and....

I played on it with Katie for a while, she needs an adult with her to play, but then she dragged Bill up for a while. I had a good time relaxing and watching him run around with her.

Baking Cookies

Friday night Nana and Katie made chocolate chip cookies - very good.

She loves to help ( and is usually pretty good too ).

Easter Dress

Nana Papa and Emma came up Thursday night for the Easter holiday. Katie's school was closed Friday so she stayed with Nana and Papa. She told Nana that she wanted to give the Easter Bunny and big hug and that she wanted to wear her pretty dress.
Well she got all dressed up. Even had her hair put up, her necklace on. All pretty for the Easter Bunny.

Very lady like - gotta love to tongue.

Well, she doesn't wear dresses very much and she looks very cute in them but as you continue to look you will not see a picture of the Easter Bunny. She did make it to the mall an even stood on line, but would not give him a hug - maybe next year.

Friends

Boy are we crazy. Today we went to Jenkinsons for there Easter Egg hunt ( along with about half of NJ). The place was packed. We met up with Katie's dear friend Ella - her sister Grace and mom Eileen. They had a huge area taped off for kids 1 - 4 years old. This is Katie waiting for her time to hunt - she was just happy to play in the sand.
I don't think you can really appreciate how big the area is and how many people are actually there - trust me it was a lot! (If you double click on the picture you may see it better) We are at the far corner here and it goes all the way back to the boardwalk. You can see a few eggs on top but a lot were actually buried in the sand.

Katie and Ella each found there allotted three eyes. They won some rings which they are showing off . They were very good at sharing them.

It turned out to be a gorgeous day. We walked the boardwalk a little then had some pizza. Then home to play some more.

It was a good day.

Easter Egg Hunt

The town had an easter egg hunt today. I had to work but Bill took her. He said it was very unorganized and a bit hectic but I believe Katie had a good time. There is another one tomorrow on the beach/boardwalk which we will try to go to.
As you can see not much of a challenge - easter eggs everywhere.

And away they go

A big hug for the Easter Bunny.

Purple park

There is a large play ground in Howell that we go and play at - we call it the purple park. She loves to run around and play. They have lots of slides and swings too. She is still a little scared of the alligator - wont climb up it.
She actually can climb to the top of the wall - she is a good climber.

Of course her favorite thing is to dig in the ground - they have chopped up tires for safety - real dirty.

Growing plants

Katie has been good about watering her plants. They are getting big. They are growing toward the window.
The beans/tomato plants are starting to come up also - Bill didn't label them so we will have to wait and see
