First trip to Edventure

A couple weeks ago we got a family membership to Edventure and took Aidan for the first time. There are so many things for kids to do. It is an amazing place. Aidan wanted to do absolutely everything and had a blast.

any baseball hat. He wears one every day.

Aidan`s second birthday

Aidan`s second birthday party was on April 17 at Virginia Hylton Park. We had never been there before, and Aidan and all the other kids had a lot of fun exploring all the new things to play on. It`s a good-sized park. The party was jungle themed like last year with an awesome Madagascar cake. Aidan loved all of his presents and being able to play with family and friends.

Slip and slide with cousins

During spring break we had a slip and slide at the top of the hill for all the kids. This was our first one of the year. We do them all summer long, but it was nice that the weather was warm enough for one while all the kids were on spring break. Aidan played on them last year, but was so young that it really wasn`t fun for him. He liked it better this time. The first time he walked down the plastic, he slipped and whacked the back of his head on the ground. He laid there stunned for a little bit, and then did it over and over.

Easter Sunday

On Easter Sunday we discovered that the Easter Bunny had come to visit Aidan during the night, and put Aidan`s easter surprises in one of our toy baskets because Aidan`s Easter basket was lost in the move and I haven`t found one I like yet. Aidan played with his new things, then we watched the first session and then had lunch at Mama and Daddy`s, where we sang Happy Birthday to Bestemor and Aunt Becky. After lunch we watched the second session and then Aidan and his cousins looked for easter eggs. All the pictures from that are on Jill`s camera because we forgot to take ours up there. I`ll put them on Facebook when I get them. It was a fun day, and the weather was really nice.
