Egg coloring time.

On Easter Eve, Ken & Tom came over to take part in what has become a bit of a tradition - the coloring of the eggs! We colored eggs, we ate eggs and - holy cow, they gave me superheroes! The Justice League! Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Flash and Cyborg! Okay, new tradition - playing with superheroes every Easter. And, well, every day from now until...



H-O-R-S-E

Dad showed me a new basketball game called HORSE. It's pretty fun. We didn't finish the game, though. Dad had HOR and I had HORS, but then it turned into soccer and then a game of tag.

New York State Museum

Mom & Dad took me to the NYS Museum today. I saw minerals and taxidermied animals, firetrucks and subway cars, an indian longhouse, a mastodont skeleton and the steps and buildings from Sesame Street. They also have a carousel there that I got to ride.

Pancakes, balloons, books, and the playground.

This morning, Mom and Dad took me out for pancake breakfast. Then we went to to the Greenmarket, where the balloon lady made me a spider balloon. I asked for green legs for St. Patrick's day. After that, we stopped at the Open Door Bookstore, where I played in the kid's area with Dad and looked at some books. Then, mom dropped us off at the playground while she picked up some groceries. It was fun to run around outside with Dad, even if he was freezing (I was bundled up good). When he said he'd enjoy having a cold one on St. Pat's, I don't think Dad meant the temperature. Finally, it was back home. G'ma 'n 'Pa came down for a visit and I played some more while Dad build a fire to get warm.

Play time with Aiden

Our moms went out for girls afternoon and our dads hung out, talked about music and stuff, kept us fed and made sure we didn't do anything too crazy. Aiden and I ran around, played with toys, jumped on the bed and made a mess. I didn't want the day to end.



Disney!

At the beginning of the month we went on vacation to Florida. But Mom and Dad had a surprise for me... they were taking me to Disney World! We traveled with Uncle Spike, Aunt Stacey and Sophia, and aunt Jill to "The Most Magical Place On Earth." One day, even G'ma 'n 'Pa, Uncle Mike and Aunt Sheila came to the Magic Kingdom to have fun with me.

We visited Epcot Center, Downtown Disney, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and the Magic Kingdom! We went on exciting rides, saw fun shows and parades and met lots of Disney Friends! Sophia and I both had autograph books for all of the friends to sign. Dad said that when he went to Disney as a kid, he never met so many of the characters, but I think I met about 18 of them! I had dinner one night at Chef Mickey's and saw Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto and Donald the Duck. I think my favorites were Woody and Buzz Lightyear, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, Jake (Neverland Pirate), and a new favorite, Ariel, the Little Mermaid.

On our first day at the Magic Kingdom, I got dressed up like Jake (from Jake and The Neverland Pirates) and got to be part of a Pirates of the Caribbean show with Captain Jack Sparrow. And two other times, I was part of "Enchanted Tales with Belle." (the second time we went, Sophia was in it, too!)

Did I mention the rides? They were so much fun. Some of my favorites were Peter Pan's Flight, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Haunted Mansion. I could go on and on about all of the great stuff we saw and did, but instead, maybe I'll just show you some photos. Check 'em out:
