spontaneous

We took a spontaneous day trip to Greenville last Saturday.  It was a gorgeous day to explore this beautiful city.

First stop...the toy store, of course!

Emma Jane picked out her very first watch.

Anybody need the time?

Vivi chose a blue tractor. 

Vroom!  Vroom!

Everywhere you look in downtown Greenville, someone is walking a dog.  The girls were itching to pet this gentle giant.  He seemed happy to oblige!

We saw the Easter Bunny! 

Emma Jane was thrilled...Vivi, not so much!

Walking along the suspension bridge is always fun!

Strolling through the park was nice, too!

The girls played hide and seek among the trees...

Found you!

Another cool bridge...

 A few rare sitting poses...

Yet another charming bridge to cross...

Off on an adventure down the beaten path...

Taking a break with daddy!

One way to cool a baby off AND make her laugh!

We hope to take more spur of the moment trips in the future.  Days like these create some of the best memories.

eggs galore

The Street girls couldn't wait for the Easter Bunny to visit them this year, but they had lots to do while they awaited his arrival.  Unfortunately, Emma Jane was sick with a sinus infection so she missed out on a few events, but she still managed to have some fun.

Vivian participated in her very first egg hunt when we met with some friends Friday afternoon. She promised to find some eggs to bring home to big sis who wasn't feeling well.  Vivi and Charlotte had their own designated "baby area" to hunt eggs while the big kids had a more challenging egg hunt. 

  

The Easter Bunny didn't forget the Street girls! 

Emma Jane dyed and decorated a few

eggs while Vivi took a morning nap.

Emma Jane put all of the eggs in a paper bag nest she had made at school and then put her new stuffed frog on top of them.  I wondered why she was shouting facts about how frogs lay eggs while I was cleaning up the kitchen! 

Since Emma Jane didn't get to participate in any of the pre-Easter egg hunts, we hid some eggs for she and Vivian to find in our neighborhood park late Sunday afternoon.

It was truly an Easter filled with blessings and love!
