Weekend Review

I had a great weekend with my family. Saturday, we decorated Easter eggs....I haven't done it in years..but it's such a fun tradition from my own childhood...I was excited for Hannah to decorate her own. Erin and I would decorate the eggs with my Mom, then we'd spend HOURS hiding them around the house for each other to find. It was so much fun...but we'd always manage to forget about at least one egg....until a couple weeks later when we'd start to smell it from somewhere under the couch! Hannah had a blast doing her Easter egg hunt.

I also got an awesome spa treatment on Saturday...it was my very thoughtful birthday gift from Chad. Thanks babe! Nice to get out of the house and be pampered for a few hours!
Then, yesterday we ventured to the National Zoo. We realized that morning that it was Cherry Blossom Festival and that it would be a mad house in DC, but we'd already committed and promised Hannah. When we got there, all 4 of the zoo's parking lots were full ....and we drove around for nearly an hour just looking for a parking space. Then Hannah (who drank an entire cup of orange juice on the drive) starting yelling "I have to pee pee!!!!" We circled our way back to the entrance of the zoo, Hannah and I jumped out, and Chad and Sadie continued to hunt for parking. Eventually, he found a spot ...nearly a mile away! The zoo was packed...ridiculously crowded..and honestly I really wasn't impressed with the zoo. They didn't have a lot of the animals they were supposed to have. But Hannah did get to see the elephants, panda bear, hippos, and the lion. Both of the girls had fun...and the weather was gorgeous! We took our lunch with us, and had a little picnic on the grass...that was nice...Sadie was glad to be free of the stroller for a while.
It was a lot of walking for a 3 year old...next time I'll bring my double stroller.
...And here's the King of the Foreeeeest!...I think he was asleep..?
