April Activities & Easter Egg Drop

I came to a new city prepared - signing up Kade and Brock for local activities before we even moved! I enrolled Kade in the local toddler free-play class at the community center - very similar to the Renton one we frequented. A little different though - here it's 3 classes at 45 minutes of free play with the last 15 minutes led by an instructor with parachute time, bubbles and a good-bye song.... Renton's was 8 classes of 1 1/2 hours of free play - same cost. Hmm.... what happened to cheaper cost of living??

Brock attended a mini-camp for two weeks - two days/week for 3 hours! He absolutely loved it. I couldn't believe how much he talked about what he did that first day - WAY more than he EVER told me about preschool! Money well spent since all the preschools around here are all full for the remainder of this year! :(

Brock all ready for his second day at camp! (they were having an Easter Egg hunt that day!!)

Making a purple sting ray!

 These are all pictures the teacher sent me from his sessions! Super cool!

We had some fun around our house too!

Couldn't resist trying out the new bathtub WITH JETS!

The new water table has been a huge hit too! We love our backyard!!

On the Saturday before Easter, I let Brock & Kade open their Easter baskets from Great-Aunt Carol & Great-Uncle Jeff. These were soooo cute! The boys took out every single thing from the monogramed baskets and showed them off to us! It was adorable!

Thank you!!

It was an early morning for Brock and I - we headed out to Thomas Brooks Park in Cary (home of the USA Baseball National Training Complex) for the first Cary Easter Egg Drop! As in, a helicopter will drop filled plastic eggs all over a huge gated soccer field that hundreds of children will run to collect!

Let me just say for their first year doing this, it was "pretty good". It definitely mattered where you were in relation to the entrance of the gate if you/your child had a good time. We had a great location, but I felt really bad for other kids. (Brock learned a hard lesson about sharing as I first made him stop after he collected nearly an entire bag full and then, urged him to give away 5 of his hard-earned eggs to 5 other little children who had ZERO eggs in their baskets)

But he had a great time; definitely a pro now! He was scooping them up as fast he could!

Here he is enjoying his bounty. At this point too he showed me which eggs he picked up that were going to be for Kade. :)

 A happy boy with lots of chocolate and peeps in the pantry (and it's not even Easter yet!)!
