here comes peter cottontail

We’ve been singing a lot of the Peter cottontail song lately.  Eli wasn’t sure what Easter meant, but one thing he knows is that he loves candy.  Dad and Eli got busy dying eggs the night before Easter.  

Eli wanted to do all the dipping…..he sure had fun.

In some of our dinosaur books it talks about dinosaurs eating other dinosaurs’ eggs….I think this is where this came from. 

The Easter bunny hid lots of eggs around the house.  Eli found them all(with a little help) and was so excited.

Eli and Silas opening their loot from the Easter bunny.  Eli got some stuffed Peeps, and he quickly decided that the Easter bunny meant them for Silas.

Eli and his cousin, Max, opening and attempting to eat all the candy they could before being stopped by their parents.  What a beautiful day it was!

sharks at the moa

Last weekend we took a little Saturday trip to the Underwater World at the Mall of America.  We had never been there, so it was on the ‘to do’ list.  Eli loves animals, so he was pretty excited to see some sharks and Nemo, of course.

Dad and Eli about to enter the stuffed animal area…(if you’ve been there you know what I’m talking about)

A huge turtle.

Checking out the fish.

 

Eli checking out a shark….he loved the sharks.

Mom and Silas at the end of the walk.

Eli ordered some shrimp for lunch at Kokomo’s.  To our surprise, he ate it up.

Si helped Eli eat his kiddie meal dessert cookies.

Dad and Eli ended the day by having some fun on the beach.
