Birmingham Zoo/Grayton Beach

A little out dated, Monday we took attley to Birmingham to drop her off for her flight to Utah, while there we made a stop at the zoo, it was a rather huge zoo BUT I still think Hogle Zoo is better:
The Big lizard ashtyn loved
The Petting zoo part, attley not sure about petting them
more from the petting zoo
Attley's favorite part was definitely the monkeys, i think her cute little pointer finger never stopped pointing! The picture of her on the bridge was in a bird room, they have a ton of birds flying everywhere and I think she couldnt get enough, evertime they landed on the bridge she ran to chase them off, was hilarious!









The Saturday before we left we also took the girls to a little town in florida halfway between Destin and Panama city beach called Seaside grove, was beautiful little community more family oriented, and then to Grayton beach... I didnt take alot of pix but here is a few...

The girls all ready to go... Look at Attley trying to be like her big sis!

Attley got soooo tired on the beach she took a nap:

Ashtyn collecting her sea shells:

And Jared and I played in the sun, he went body surfing and after this pic i went and sat my now fat belly in the water...

And our good friends Jay and Angie, their the bestest ever!!!


and more of the girls:

AND MY FAVORIET:

Easter morning & Easter Dinner

Okay, here is the last of the Easter pix, we were sort of camera happy this year and took A BUNCH of pictures, so i will only post some because it takes FOREVER!!!
These were pix taking easter morning....
The easter bunny left a trail of bunny prints up the sidewalk and to the door, i told ashtyn he must have stepped into some of her chalk and she said "NO MOM, THE EASTER BUNNY HAS PINK FEET!"
This year the easter bunny decided to send the girls on a hunt using a bunch of clues to find their baskets, so he left a big note for them along with the hidden eggs...

And the final finding place after 8 different clues:

After finding their baskets the girls got to find all the eggs the bunny hid:





Then they went outside and tried to backtrack the bunny prints to try to see if they could follow him, but the tracks led into the grass, where they lost him... SILLY RABBIT!


THEN.... the girs headed back inside to open more boxes from Papa JJ, Brandy, Grammy and grandpa Jenkins and cards from grandma and Poppa percival:



AND the last of the pix are from our amazingly wonderful Easter Dinner, we went over to the Bown's house and had an amazing spread, Angie even found cute little EDIBLE chocolate Duck place setting decor... The food was amazing and The Bown's are always the best Hosts ever!!



And the ever incredible Jay, he gets mauled by my girls everytime they see him because he is SOOO good with kids, both ashtyn and Attley just love him....


THANK YOU ALL who sent such cute and wonderful gifts the girls had a great (and spoiled) easter, they really had a blast and we have enough sugar to last a lifetime (or a potty training bribe time whichever comes first!)
And to the Bowns, thank you SO VERY MUCH for having us, dinner was delicious as usual, food was amazing, you are way to creative, and you are both so very patient with our kids, we love you guys!!! so sad your leaving soon, at least your from Utah :)

We hope everybody had as great of an Easter as we did!!!!
