Style of a 4 Year Old

Emery's sense of style today lead him to wearing one sandal and shoe with both feet without socks.

Easter with the Broadstons

 

Ready for a Denver Easter Egg hunt.

I followed Aiden.

He was thrilled with his eggs.

Great Grandma came over and had a great time holding Cade.

We did our own Easter egg hunt at home.  Uncle Mike had to search for Cade.

The boys looked all over.

They even had to climb a tree.

Our winner - Leah!

Uncle Mike had to climb a lot higher than the other kids.  It took him the longest to find all of his eggs.

Daddy keeping watch while...

Uncle Mike, Grandma Jo, and myself burned a huge bonfire.  This was a great day to celebrate Easter.

Tree Climbing

We made it to Grandma Jo's house, so of course we are climbing trees!

Tantrum

It's not always sunshine and roses in our house....

Decorating Easter Eggs

Style

This boy has his very own sense of style.  He really likes these Harry Potter glasses with the one side sticking out sideways!

Des Moines Bound

  

We decided to get some pool time in this morning before heading back.

Daddy also wanted to stop at Miniature Market again this morning....I don't think we can drive and play a game like he'd like to.....

Heading to St. Louis

It's time to head for home.  We were impressed with this gas stations full case of fried chicken.

 

Lunch at Lambert's Cafe - home of the throwed rolls.  The boys LOVED this place.

We decided that we would stay in St. Louis on the way home, so that we could spend time at the St. Louis Arch.  However, when we started to get close, we realized that the arch was under construction and this would be the closest we got on this trip.  We'll have to head back to Memphis again soon!

Memphis - Day 4

Aiden hasn't been able to put his Harry Potter books down at all over Spring Break.  This is him at breakfast.

Guess what the boys wanted to do again today...it's a good thing that we became Memphis Zoo members on the first day when we realized that we wouldn't see everything the boys wanted to see.

Back for another round of Pandas.

Last photo until we leave the zoo for the third day!

 

This afternoon, the boys wanted to do play some miniature golf. The place we went to also had a large arcade and a great deal on playing miniature golf AND arcade games.  As you can tell, the kids had a great time!

Memphis - Day 3

Here come the ducks!  The boys are sitting with all of the children on the other side of the fountain.

The boys are checking out the ducks before coming back to us. 

 

 

The boys needed some down time, and Daddy wanted to check out the audio tour of Elwood Cemetery. 

The boys really wanted to head back to the zoo this afternoon to check out the few things that we missed.  First stop, the reptile house!

The boys sure enjoyed checking out all of the snakes.

 

Parker was VERY adamant that we check out the Pandas.  He loves pandas!

  

Can you tell who is who?

Memphis - Day 2

Today, we hit up the Memphis Zoo with the Cea's.  He are so excited!

Lions

Panther

Musical Instruments

The boys loved the elephant show.

We also liked the sea lion show.

Everyone in!

We're starting to melt.

What a day!  It ended with tornado warnings coming through where we were staying.  They don't have basements in Memphis, so we ended up spending some time on the living room floor.  As you can tell, it didn't phase us!
