The last picture of the beloved green lego hero. :)
Andrew climbed a tree higher than I could reach to rescue him, if it were needed, for the first time. He was quite proud of himself.
Mason really liked these monkey statues. He kept trying to feed them his cracker.
A preview of their new dinosaur exhibit! We can't wait!
This was Mason's first time enjoying the Zoomasium. Once he realized this was a slide, he climbed right up and went down on his own. He loved it!
I try really hard to not make my boys pose for pictures (other than for holidays, etc). But today I found this door at the zoo and couldn't resist. For some reason I have a slight fascination with doors and in my opinion, this was totally worth the pain of forcing them to stand there and smile!
I hid Mason's basket in our toy shelf, just as I did for Andrew when he was 2. I forgot that Andrew would find it first, not giving Mason a chance to find it on his own, but it was still cute. 
Matt was entertaining the boys while they waited for their baskets from grandma & grandpa. 
Thanks for dinner, Melissa!
And.....goodnight!
The main reason the egg hunt was a bust is because we had to wait quite a while on the start line before they let us start (which was torture for Mason) and once we got to go, he started crying. Andrew also had to go to a seperate field due to his age, which was kind of a bummer. It was only a bummer for about 30 seconds though and then it was over.
Both boys enjoyed dying eggs this year, although Mason was more interested in cracking them open to get to the 'ball'. :) I also found out that Andrew loves boiled eggs.
(And I had fun playing and editing the pictures. I've never really done much editing before and I could see that if I ever really learned how or paid for a real program, I would be in trouble. It's fun!)
They don't give tickets but Mason really wanted one. The conductor played along and pretended to punch his ticket. :)
Mason loves to be outside, so he had a pretty great day. And to top it all off, he got a box of raisins in his lunch - his new favorite! 
Andrew has been really into Inspector Gadget lately. And once again, Grandma saved the right toys! Matt pulled this out and hid it for Andrew to find this morning. He left a note with a clue and Andrew was in heaven!
They also found a magic kit that grandpa sent over for them. Andrew would love to be able to do a trick - I just need to find one that seems easy and cool enough for a four year old. In the mean time, he'll have to settle for looking at all the cool stuff.
We drove home with the windows down!!
* The 'good' is we have easy access to a toilet and an obvious sign when it's go-time. Just in case that wasn't clear. :)
How Andrew left the Ninja Turtles when he was done:
These boys never fail to make me smile!
I don't mean to brag, but he also did the laundry. :) And since I'm apparently very contagious, he even took care of the boys in the middle of the night. I'll start planning his vacation now, I'm sure he'll need one!
My mom came over on Saturday so Matt and I could go out. However, on Friday night I started feeling sick and ended up staying that way, so instead of going out, my mom took care of me. That makes 3 out of the 4 of us to be sick - stupid spring time! Since this is my blog and I feel like whining, here's what's wrong with me. My body was achy and my throat hurt. On Sunday I was starting to feel worse so my mom took me to the doctor for a strep test (that came back positive). Luckily the penicillin has already started to kick in and I no longer feel like I'm going to die. I still can't eat or get out of bed, but at least I can swallow! I also had a fever and while I was waiting for my strep results I got the chills. My mom got me a blanket to warm up and ice chips for my throat. I think I freaked my body out. I was definitely the person nobody in the waiting room wanted to be close to. :) I've never had strep before. This sucks.
