A visit from the California Walters and Easter 2014

Yes, it is April and our Bradford Pear trees are blooming.  Yes, that is green grass in our lawn.  Yes, that is snow.  One of these things doesn't belong with the others.
 
Davis wanted to get all spiffed up for his first meeting with Grandpa Walt Walt and Grandma Sooz.  He is big enough now that he can stretch out in the tub and enjoy the bath a bit more.  D loves watching the waterfalls when I pour the cup over his tummy. 
 
 
 
 
Walt and Sooz flew in late Thursday night.  Cal was so excited to see them that he barged into their room early on Friday morning to say hi.  At least he's a cute welcoming party, albeit an early one.
 
Cal was pretty excited to wear his new goggles.  I wish I was that excited about getting in a swimming suit.  Can I swim in yoga pants this summer? 
 
It was so warm after Cal's swimming lessons that we went to Eastborough Park to burn off some of C's boundless energy. 
 
Look who joined him on the slide!
 
 
 
Mama's turn!
 
Garth, Keiu, and Ty joined us at the park.  Cal was SO excited to see "my Ty".
 
 
When we go home that afternoon, Grandma Sooz and Cal dyed some Easter eggs. 
 
 
We have some pretty cute Easter bunnies!
 
 
 
 
 
Before bed that night, Cal planted some jelly beans.  When the Easter Bunny came that night, he watered the beans so they could grow into candy! 
 
 
The Bunny also left a trail of marshmellows so that the boys could find their Easter baskets.  Cal woke up at 6:30am and was raring to discover what magical things the Bunny had done.  For that reason, the very tired Easter Bunny hopped out of bed (I'm punny, I know) and got the trail created and the suckers planted before the sun was up.  :)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
They boys were pretty excited about their goodies!  Cal ate handfuls of candy before I could tear the bucket out of his little mitts. 
 
Of course I couldn't get a pic of them smiling together!
 
 
Not to be left out of the action.....
 
Davis is so interested in the dogs!  He kicks his arms and legs when they're near (mostly towards Ollie) and wants to pet them, as you can see here.

 
 
Each time he found an egg, he shouted...."EGG!!!!!!!!!"
 
 
 
 
 
Later that day, we hid eggs in the house and Cal found them.  We switched roles and then we found them, only Cal couldn't stand the suspense and he'd shout, "There's one!  It's right here!!!!", leading us right to the egg.  Funny kid.
 
After his Easter nap, Cal wore his Superman shirt and played a little pants-less golf.  (His latest obsession is peeing in the yard.  Hence the pants-less play.)  Who has time to pull their pants up when there's golf to be played?
 
 
 
 
 
Our attempt at a family picture....nobody smiles at the same time.  :) 

 
 
That night, he enjoyed reading a few bedtime stories with Grandma Walt and Grandma Sooz before he hit the hay. 
 
We had a great time with the California Walters!  Thanks for visiting us!!
