We went to a special Easter event this morning and Emily got a yellow chick painted on her cheek. She picked it out over the pink bunnies and colorful Easter eggs.

We had a playdate with Christian this afternoon and Max asked Kathy if he could hold Baby Olivia. He was very good holding her although Kathy did help support her neck. Max seems to be into babies lately. 
We went to Winter Lodge in Palo Alto to try a little first time ice skating with Sarah, Erik, Alex & Sean on Sunday night
Max REFUSED to try ice skating so Wallace took him out on the rink in the stroller. As a former hockey player, he was tearing around the rink … sometimes so fast that the wheels of the stroller were catching air! Max was laughing hysterically the whole time!
Emily was keen on trying ice skating so we rented a pair of ice skates for her
Sarah & Sean having fun!

After seeing Alex, Sean, Emily, Sarah, Erik, Mommy & Daddy on skates … Max decides to give it a go!

Max was running on the ice instead of sliding.
Max holding onto the side of the rink. He feel down several times, became frustrated and wanted the ice skates off ASAP.
So, back to the stroller he went … Erik & Alex pushing Max around the rink!
Wallace & Emily taking a break.
All and all it was a great first experience! Emily, Sean & Alex seemed to really enjoy themselves. Max … so-so, but at least he gave it a try! We’ll try again next season!

Today was a special day. My mom (a.k.a. Nana) attended Max’s First Art Show @ Little Oak Preschool with us in April 2008. She was energetic, vibrant & happy! I will never forget that day! This is the second art show without her in this world. It’s a special day as I remember her beaming as she looked at her youngest grandson’s art displayed. I only wish she would’ve been here with me today. My dear dear Mama … you are always on my mind & in my heart. Life hasn’t been the same without you.

Christian & Max waited in line for The Frog Hopper for quite some time. They actually cut in line to the front and Kathy had to tell them to go to the back of the line!
Christian looks like he is having second thoughts about the ride
YEP! Christian’s off!
Max having fun!!! The cute random girl sitting next to him is a little nervous though.

Christian & Emily have fun on the Granny Bugs together
Kathy & I are slightly concerned that Emily & Christian are going to be Happy Hollow buddies;
since Max is a bit of a dare devil. Here he is standing in line for the roller coaster. We waited over 30 minutes!!
All in all, it was a great afternoon @ Happy Hollow! Kids had a great time! That’s what it’s all about!
