Let's Go to the Zoo!

Sadly, our very good friends (and neighbors) are moving to Chicago soon, so we felt that it was our duty to take them to the zoo before they moved.  The weather was great, so it made for an awesome day at the zoo.  

Avery and Shay Shay checking out the elephants:

Anna decided the best animal viewing spot was on Daddy's shoulders:

And of course no zoo trip is complete without a carousel ride:

 I think it was the highlight for Dave:

... or maybe Becky - she was pretty excited too:

 This was our first time to feed the giraffes - I had no idea that's what a giraffe's tongue looked like!

Anna needed a little push to get close enough.  The poor giraffe was choking himself on the fence trying to get the lettuce from Anna.  

Always love an excuse to hit the zoo, but we will miss you Lewandowskis!

Easter is still not over!

One more Easter pic from Anna's egg hunt at school.
Love her excitement!

Good Friday... Great Weekend!

After living in the Houston area for 10 years, we decided to FINALLY make a day trip to Galveston and hit the beach!  It took us long enough, but it was worth the wait!  We made it to Galveston just in time to eat an early picnic lunch on the beach and had all afternoon to play.  The girls loved it!  It’s amazing how much happiness a little sand and water and bring!

Daddy who gave his two little princesses mermaid tails:

Anna gave herself some “tights”:

Saturday morning, we headed to Atkinson Farms to pick strawberries!  Anna was not quite as discerning with her strawberry selections, so we have 8 ½ pounds of strawberries currently sitting in our fridge.

And then the Easter bunny came and helped us get ready for summer:

After our egg hunt, we headed to Jannie & Pops’ house for a nice big lunch, followed by a nice big nap. 

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
