Keeping busy

Spring & summertime in Williamsburg definitely means Busch Gardens. This year, Robin is tall enough to ride some real rides. He loves the log flume and kiddie coaster.


Joe had a birthday at the end of March. It was nice and low key with lots of balloons & streamers.
And more Busch Gardens...

Here in Kingsmill, we have a small, but very convenient beach. we can walk there and play in the waves and sand when it's 92 degrees in April. I think we're going today too.
We just had to drive up to DC last weekend to meet baby Olin, Tom & Amy's new arrival. He is soooo cute.
Warm weather isn't the same without a playdate with Kyle at the Botanical Gardens.

Abuela, or should I say, "Bella" as Robin is calling her & Big Papa came to visit for a few days while Joe is away. We had so much fun and were so sad to see them leave this morning. Safe trip, guys!
Big Papa did lots of man-jobs while he was here. Finishing up a Spiderman bike...
...and then putting together Robin's new bunk bed, which we conveniently bought the night before Joe had to leave. Oops. :) Robin loves his new Batcave complete with glow-in-the-dark stars and bats hanging from above.
Thanks, Big Papa!

Easter 2010 photos of Robinson

Our Easter weekend started Saturday morning with our neighborhood's annual egg hunt. And it was no joke...a bounce house set up, zones for the different age groups, Easter Bunny and refreshments on hand, and tons of kids...some all dolled up...some (like mine) wanted to dress themself that morning complete with unmatching socks. Oh well, who cares. This is a photo of Robin in front of the 3 and under group's eggs. He did wait very well. This age 3 thing does have its perks.

Joe skilled Robin on the art of egg hunting with details on how to skip the eggs in front and go deep. See video in 2nd post for how that played out. Here he is with a full basket.

Here we are all ready to crack open the goodies. Wanted you to see how many people were in the background. Now, before the hunt began we were informed that there were 3 eggs on the field with special tickets to bring to the Easter Bunny. After opening all of the eggs, which were filled with nothing that kids ages 0-3 could eat (gum, tootsie rolls and jolly ranchers-what!!??), there was one lone empty egg left.
Yes, we brought our prize ticket to the White bunny and he gave Robin a stuffed one and a big hug.
Then Sunday morning...green lantern jet, riddler, chocolate bunny, etc.

He was super excited to find all the eggs.
We went to our good friends, The Dubnansky's, for Easter dinner. Here is Michelle ringing around the rosey with her 3 boys and my one.
