An outing with some friends

Now that it is spring, we can enjoy the "lushness" of the East Coast. So, some of my neighbours and I took our kids in to the city to see the Cherry Blossom Festival - although now that I think about it, I didn't noticed the festival part of it at all. I think we may have missed it. We had fun either way. The kids loved running around, playing in the water and well just being kids.


The fish must of had the right bate because they kept reeling in kids.

Here is Blake pretending he is an airplane.

This is right after he crashed the airplane.

Moving up in the world

Well Blake finally did it. He broke up with his favorite car. This was not by choice on his part, but Mom was the one that decided it was about time. Don't worry - no tears were shed and no feeling were hurt too badly. In fact the consequence of the break up turned out to be worth it all. Blake got a new bike!!! He was hesitant at first but quickly warmed up. As you can see from the pictures below it was about time for him to move on.
(these pictures were taken about a week apart)





Now here is the real roadster







Here is a picture of the shoes he wore when he would drive his car. Notice the holes in the toe area. His legs were just too long and his feet would drag as he would push himself. They too will retire.

Blake was just doing what he know best - playing with his cars. The room fell silent and I went in to check on him and this is what I found.

Easter fun

Blake hunting for eggs
He even found the ones that were hidden for the big kids! Thanks to Dad.
Looking forward to the chocolate.
