Easing Into an Easter Tradition

Good Eats, Holiday, Outdoor Play, Smiling

To be honest, the only Easter-themed tradition that I’ve ever taken part-in is Filet o’ Fish Fridays at McDonald’s, but that may have changed this year. Not only did we mustard enough energy to fill Easter eggs and hide them around the house for the kids, but we got tickets to the 2nd Annual Easter Egg hunt at Santa Anita Park.

Horse racing, Tyler Baze, carnival games, beer, popcorn, pony rides, and Easter eggs…sign me up. The only thing we would do differently is to come better prepared. Who the heck knew that you could bring in tables, chairs, coolers, and half-tents? Some people looked like they were having Easter brunch and dinner at the Park…sheesh.

If this becomes an Easter tradition, I better stock-up on Filet o’Fishes the Friday before.

Milestone Weekend

Milestone

During Spring Break 2017, our Little Tiger finally figured out how to tie his shoelaces! Kudos to him for not giving up and kudos for his older cousin for teaching him.

I still prefer his velcro shoes, but at least we got this milestone out of the way. Next milestone = learning to ride a bike.

Side note: Little Tiger also started his first piano lesson this weekend, but I’m not counting it as a milestone until he can play a Babyface song or two on the piano.

(Spring) Breaking the Record for How Much Fun a Kid Should Have

Holiday, Laughing, Outdoor Play, School, Smiling, Traveling

Talk about a busy 7 days. We started our 2017 Spring Break vacation by heading to San Diego so Mommy and Daddy could visit some of their friends, and Little Tiger and Baby Horse was able to hang out with all their cousins.

The fun didn’t stop there as we met up with Little Tiger’s friends for a weekend at Great Wolf Lodge (talk about a lucky kid). Of course, Baby Horse wasn’t left out of the mix, as he had an equally good time floating in the lazy river (over and over and over).

If you think the fun ends there, you could be right…but you’re not. We ended up taking a 3-day adventure to Disneyland and California Adventure. Yes, a vacation with the kids is more of a trip than a vacation, but with everyone on their best behavior, and with over-prepared parents, this weekend was perfect.

To see pictures from Disneyland and California Adventures, please make sure to check out Baby Horse’s website.

It definitely helps that he’s much better at swimming now than last year. He still can’t consistently swim, but hey, who am I to judge?

Definitely not lazy…nothing stops this kid from going in the lazy river.

Now that’s a happy daisy.
