Train Ride and Story Time with Friends!

We love living in a neighborhood with so many kids the same age as our kids, and so many parents that we can call friends.  It's so fun for our boys and wonderful for us.  Especially mama.

We walk almost every day, and usually end up at a park for an hour and a half or so, with two of the twins' best friends, Nash and Logan.  They seriously love them and are always so excited to see them.  We love having friends who are willing to go on adventures with so many toddlers (and babies) in tow.  We are always making new friends, there are lots of people moving into our neighborhood, and let's face it, with little twins it's been hard for us to get out and about, but now that they are getting a bit bigger it's getting easier.

Today we walked the kids to the Trax station (there are three within walking distance of our house) and rode the train to the Draper Library for Story Time.  They had SO much fun.  It was a little hard to keep them still and quiet ant times, but we had a blast.  They sang songs, read books, and danced around.  We sat on a bench outside the library afterwards for some snacks, then headed back to the train.  The kids were so good, and napped so well after walking.  For five toddlers and a one year old, it was awesome and they listened so well.   Can't wait to see what other adventures the summer will bring now that our kids are finally getting bigger and easier to take places.

 Waiting for the train (they wanted their hoods up the whole walk we had to stop and put it back up every time they blew off, the wind was pretty chilly).

They don't look like they are having much fun, but they said they were.  They rode like this the whole way.

Snack Time!

Headed home!

Easter

Easter was so fun this year.  The maniacs had so much fun.  They saw the Easter Bunny at the mall a week or so before Easter.  They loved him until he walked up to say hi and they were terrified.  They said waved and said bye through tears.  Every time we talked about him after that they said they didn't want to go see him.  They knew when we went anywhere close to the mall and made sure we knew that they didn't want to go see him.

When we told him the Easter Bunny was coming when they were sleeping, they were a little nervous until we told them that he was going to bring them a present.  We woke up and ate breakfast, cinnamon roll waffles, then went outside to find Easter Eggs.  They LOVED it.  They ran all over the yard and brought each egg back and put it in the carton.  They were so happy.  We went inside and they found their Easter Baskets.  They loved the fire engines and garbage trucks.  They got new Lightening McQueen underwear and were pretty excited, but they carried their trucks around every where all day.  We went outside and played with their new big balls and wagons.

After nap time we went to grandma's house for dinner.  We had another Easter Egg hunt and hid more eggs in grandma's back yard.  They had so much fun.  We kept just throwing them around the yard so they could pick them up and bring them back to their wagons.  It was such a fun day.
