My parents came to visit us 2 weeks ago and left on Sunday. We had a great time while they were here and we have very few pictures to document the trip! We hit the zoo (absolute madness), the historical museum, and the Wildlife Experience/consignment sale. At the Wildlife Experience Mady and Sydney had fun in the butterfly exhibit. Mady got stuck in the web like a little bug.
Miss Sydney had fun climbing "like Spiderman!" She really likes Spidey for some reason!
At the Historical Museum they had a working farm and blacksmith shop. It was fun to see, but I think we were too early in the year for the animals and farming part and the blacksmith was only interested in the older kids and was kind of rude to poor Sydney. We ate lunch at the park across the street where the girls had a blast chasing squirrels! We don't really have them out by our house (we've seen 3 in almost 4 years!) Mady is so happy to be a big girl and get to run around!
We also had some Easter fun. Our HOA put on a little event at the clubhouse with a bouncy house, a petting zoo, pony rides, airbrush tattoos, and a visit from the Easter Bunny. Mady wanted to watch, but Sydney was right in the thick of things.
The Easter Bunny was much like Santa Claus pictures. Mady took the eggs he gave her, sat on his lap long enough for me to snap a picture and took off. Sydney went back 4-5 times. Not for the eggs either, she really liked that Easter Bunny and talked about him for the rest of the day!
And last but certainly not least, the pony rides. Mady was fine if I was RIGHT next to her, but those moving things made her a little nervous (are you sensing a theme here?). Sydney was in heaven with those ponies though. There were never more than 3 people in line while we were there (they said we missed the huge line of earlier!) so Sydney got to ride each pony multiple times. I lost count, but I think she rode 5-7 times. One of the girls leading the ponies started calling her Princess Sydney. It was very cute and fun.
On Easter morning we had a little egg hunt at our house for the girls. Sydney was a good sport and went hunting, but Mady found an egg with jelly beans in it and wouldn't budge until every last one was gone.
The girls got their first kites (a tradition in Aaron's family) and we went outside to try them. They were both briefly interested and Sydney even took a turn flying her Spidey kite, but they quickly lost interest and left Aaron and I flying the kites alone. We had fun though!
Happy Easter!

That looks like so much fun! And is that your community clubhouse you were talking about that put on the pony rides etc? You're making me want Colorado living the more and more I check your blog!:) What is HOA? How did you find a house that has a community like that, with clubhouses, pools and what seems like all kinds of fun things right in your own little neighborhood? It doesn't seem like there is anything like that out here. Is there a website or something for a house in that type of community?
Mady is getting so freakin blond. I thought she was Syd in some of the pictures for a minute. Especially the Easter pajamas picture. I remember Syd in those jammies.
Oh how cute! The pic of Mady walking is so cute! She looked like an easter egg on EAster morning! She also didn't look like she enjoyed being in the spider web.
Not surprising that Sydney loved the Easter Bunny, the ponies, etc.....she is totally a little adventurist (if that is a word. If not, Sydney can be the first one.)
