Thank goodness for digital cameras to help me remember the special events in our lives since I can't seem to get them blogged very efficiently! We had a super fun Easter weekend with my cousin Patty and her family. They were down from Minneapolis so we had to show them a good time . We started the weekend off with a visit to Living History Farms for their Family Easter party. Usually I try to avoid crowds but it was a really fun time with lots of activities for the kids. They had some good food, egg coloring, a toy hunt, a pancake relay, a bonnet relay and of course the Easter Bunny. It was a beautiful day to be outside. Carter went to Grandma and Grandpa's for the night with Patty and Paul, so I just had to hide eggs for Claire. Although this was the first time she had hunted for eggs, she instantly knew what to do and tried to open them! We went to Grandma and Grandpa's for an Easter feast and more Easter baskets. We all headed back to Des Moines to stay at the new indoor water park. It was so much fun! Paige and Carter had a blast playing together and Claire showed NO FEAR! I initially helped her down the small waterslide, then she mastered it on her own, going down no less than 200 times. Then she slyly pointed to the pirate ship wanted to go down the bigger slide. Again I helped her at first until she waved her bye to me as if to say, " I've got this mom" She went down the slide with her arms up in the air smiling the whole way. She then pointed to the HUGE water slide indicating she wanted to try it. So, Jeremy and I took turns taking her down that. She NEVER held on! Carter even commented on how brave his sissy was! We were all exhausted by the end of the night! What a fun time!
