Six Flags

We purchased season tickets to Six Flags this year since it's just an hour away. Because we are there about every other week I have not taken the camera for pictures. I finally decided to snap a few last time we went. I often take the kids myself while Joel is working. We have been so lucky to have such a mild summer this year, it has been really nice to be outside.

During the week the park is not very busy, so we are often the only ones on a ride. Megan decided she wanted to ride in the back by herself. She was Miss. Independent that day!

There are several great shows at the park. We have seen the killer whale show, dolphins, wild animals, elephant, Looney Toons, and pictured above the kids are watching the sea lion show.

At the wild animal show they brought out several of the animals for the kids to pet afterwards. Although Megan did not want to touch any of them, Austin could not get enough of it.

She's 4!

Megan turned four at the beginning of the month. Wow, these kids are good at reminding how fast time flies.

Megan got her friend a princess bath doll for her birthday 2 weeks prior. That's all she could talk about wanting for her birthday since. We got her that and the leotard and ballet slippers she needed to start her ballet class that week. She was one happy girl!

We are not having parties this year, except with the family, so we celebrated by playing at Chuck E. Cheese for the afternoon.

She is still really into princesses this year and wanted a princess cake so here is my attempt to fulfill that wish. It didn't turn out great, but she was happy. Luckily it looks better in the picture than in real life.

Everyone was excited to eat it!

Easter Celebrations

All the pictures we took of the kids in their new Sunday clothes were quite silly, but at least they were happy. This is the best picture I got of the three of them. Perhaps they are so happy because of all the candy they ate before breakfast.

Austin was very excited to dig into his basket!
Megan picked a peep as her first treat.

The kids helped me make a special cake this year.

The day before Easter we enjoyed a beautiful day in the backyard dying eggs.

The Friday before Easter we got together with friends from the neighborhood and ward to have our annual potluck and Easter Egg Hunt.
