This post probably could be broken down into 3 different posts. Instead, I'll label the events numerically. Otherwise you might mix up the animals at the safari with relatives we spent Easter with. Haaa!
1. Recently we played hooky from our daily routine and spent an afternoon at the Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain. If you go, rent one of their zebra piece-of-junk vans. We were glad we did when a water buffalo head-butted the van. Casey and I were responsible for Savannah, Colt, Annie Grace, Jack and my dad.
Jack hung out the window the whole time. I'm pretty sure he would have stayed.
I strongly dislike birds. Pretty birds, smelly birds, I really hate them all.
The ostriches could stick their scrawny little heads all the way in the car. I ended up on the floor a lot- much to the amusement of my family.
I'm hoping Colt is eating animal crackers in their picture.
It cracks me up that the animals don't scare him.
Just as we feared, Dad wanted every animal at the safari.
2. We had a wonderful Easter. I will admit that I thought harder about Christ's death and Resurrection than I ever have. We did Resurrection Eggs with Colt and trying to telling the story & answer the questions for a 3 year old did my faith a lot of good. We don't do presents from the Easter bunny but did enjoy many Easter egg hunts. The most profitable (and the only one I have pictures from) was at my grandmother's house in Troy.
Notice the number of non-children looking for eggs? My grandparents have always put money in the eggs- no candy. This year was a little tame. Growing up it was a big wrestling match (think my dad x4 plus their children- its not calm)!!!
3. Colt has really enjoyed our garden. We've eaten lots (and lots) of spinach. We pick it every afternoon. Sometimes Colt eats it before we get in the house. Last night we picked some carrots and we had broccoli a few weeks ago. We are waiting on peppers, tomatoes and peas to be ready.
Our roses we planted last year have finally bloomed.
