What an Awesome Weekend

We celebrated Eddie and Jeanette's birthdays this weekend since they are only 3 days apart (April 3 & 6). We had Chinese takeout Friday night and a cake with strawberry filling and whipped frosting. It tasted sort of like a strawberry shortcake. We sang Happy Birthday to Jeanette and she blew out her candles. The kids loved it!

We went to Missouri Botanical Garden on Saturday morning (free, yeah!) and it was packed. Not only was it free to get in but there was also an Easter egg hunt going on. I brought my Canon and special lens and practiced taking pictures (I'm taking an online photography class) and they turned out pretty nice. I was amazed how many photographers were out there. I can't wait to go back in the summer because that is when everything is full bloom.

We took the kids to the tree house play area and they loved it. It was a little old for Paige but she loved going down the rope bridges. It was a lot of walking but there was just so much to see. I think the kids especially enjoyed feeding fish food to the humongous coy in the pond.

Today, we did Costco and dinner at Emperor's Palace (for Eddie's birthday dinner) and ran by Trader Joe's on the way home. All in all, the weekend couldn't have been any better!!!
