fun times in georgia

we are back home from augusta and had a great time visiting with our friends and fighting the masters traffic!  i got to visit my friend kylie’s school for a day while our mommies went to the practice round and par 3 tournament at the national and i had a great day!  we also got to play outside quite a bit since the weather was warm and sunny.  there is always something fun to do or play with when we go there since my friends have such fun toys.  we got to eat out at some yummy restaurants where i ate pizza and rice and beans!  i also got to watch my new dvd’s from the easter bunny on the car ride there.  “the princess and the frog” and “up” are now on my list of favorites!      

   

baseball season is here!  i haven’t been able to watch any games, but i’m still cheering for my cubbies and sporting my cool shirts!

    

i also got a new special towel at kohl’s while we were in augusta.  it has froggy on it!  it’s especially cool since it has little pockets for me to put my hands in.

fabulous easter weekend

we had a great easter weekend here in the mountains.  the weather was absolutely perfect so we spent lots of time outside and had TWO picnic lunches!  friday’s was at the banner elk park.  we had a great time playing there together.  our favorite thing there is the “bumpy slide” which is a slide made out of rollers but it’s quite bumpy going down so that’s how we named it. 

 

saturday we had our picnic at grandfather mountain.  it’s dollar days in april for locals and whoever rides in the car with them so we all got in for the bargain price of $4!  the skies weren’t as clear as they were on friday, but we still had great views up there and enjoyed climbing on the rocks and crossing the mile high swinging bridge.  we also saw the bears and otters and the split rock.

      

    

saturday night we made eggs out of rice krispie treats and also colored easter eggs.  we enjoyed having practice egg hunts that afternoon to get us ready for the next morning.  we hid the eggs for each other on the back deck and then had the other find the eggs.  we even hid them together for our daddies to find them!  

sunday morning we found easter baskets and had our egg hunt.  i got some very nice things from the easter bunny and also from my grandparents in iowa who sent me easter packages.  after we had some candy and breakfast, we got dressed up all pretty for church. 

   

Alleluia!

happy easter!  we had a great weekend with our aldinger friends who came to visit, but we are also so tired from all the festivities.  here’s a couple pictures of me in my pretty easter dress to hold you over until mommy can get a full blog update posted tomorrow.  good night!
