G&G's

I forgot to post about Easter!  We went up to Iona for the weekend to spend the holiday with my grandparents.  Grandpa wasn't feeling his best, but we still had some fun.  Hattie especially loved Grandma's play necklaces:

And swinging and sliding!

Sharing ice cream and walking with great-grandma:

Sitting with great-grandpa

And pictures with the Iona sign!

Knock knock!

One of Hattie's favorite things to do is knock on doors:

Hogle Zoo

Olivia had a birthday!  To celebrate we went to the zoo- two at the zoo!

They had one of these things too (like at the science center)!

The bear came right up next to us!

Elephants!

Hattie just plopped on the ground to watch these guys:

Seals and a polar bear (which we didn't see).

They have a new water play area which all the kids loved:

We rode the carousel!

Our last stop was the bird show!  It was terrifying (not really, I just don't like birds!).

I was impressed with the Hogle Zoo!  They've done a lot of remodeling lately and it's really well done.  It may be smaller than the Woodland Park and San Diego Zoos, but that allows you to see most of it in one day (there's no way you could see all of the SDZ in one visit!).  Also, unlike in Washington, it's sunny!  Therefore tons of animals were out and about.

Happy birthday Olivia Afton!  I'm so happy we live nearby now and get to know how amazing you are first hand.

Roasty toasty

Last week we went with the Roths for a hot dog roast!  We wanted to try and do some fun things before Kurt went back to school.  This little trip would have been better if Hattie hadn't fallen on her head twice while there.  Poor little lady!  She got a nice scrape on her head from one of the falls.  Unfortunately, I think it's just comes with being a toddler.

This water spout was broken and continuously pour out water.  The kids sure had fun!  I'm just glad we had a change of clothes for Hattie.

Spill #1 was falling out of this chair:

Had to keep a constant eye on the kids!

The boys!  Between our two families they're the only ones.  Unless the newest Roth baby turns out to be a boy.  Oh yeah- Megan's pregnant!!!  Wahoo!

Family dinner!

We ate dinner at Kurt's parent's house twice while there.  It was so nice to spend time with family!  You don't realize how much you love people until you're not around them.  Hope to see you all again soon!


The picture on the left was taken when Hattie was about a month old.  In the picture on the right Hattie's 15 months.  Love these pictures!

Pacific Science Center

After the funeral on Saturday there was lunch for the family.  Here's Hattie with (most of) her cousins!  And no, I'm not sure why William is holding up that picture!

After that a bunch of us (and Jeanette too!) went to the science center.  There as a spy exhibit which Lucas was very excited to see!  He's going to be a spy when he grows up.

These two REALLY wanted their pictures taken while sitting on the pig.  

In the spy exhibit there was a laser maze.  Kurt tried it out and I took pictures of the screen outside.  He looks like a ghost doing some crazy dance.

Fun with mirrors!

This was Hattie's favorite area!  She loved the car and slide.

Fun story- while in the spy exhibit I turned to Kurt and asked, "where's the stroller?!"  Yeah, we had left it outside.  Luckily it was still there when we got out of the exhibit.  Anyways- I thought Hattie was super cute sitting on this bench!  She loved looking through Jeanette's purse.  Seriously, that's all she wanted to do!

And here's one more of the Han kids!

MV

We spent our first day up in Mt. Vernon.  We were able to see Lili, ate lunch with G-pa, and discovered (well, at the airport actually) that Hattie loves to push around the stroller.  She also looks cute sitting on top of a rock!

My favorite part of this video is at about 11 seconds when Hattie realizes she just walked by Moose and then doesn't know what to do!  She's not a big fan of dogs.
