Easter Weekend

Easter weekend this year also just so happened to be Mike and I's 7th anniversary.  Mike had a great idea that would pack up and take Madie to spend the night in downtown Fort Worth.  This has always been one of our very favorite spur of the moment spots so even better to take Ms. Priss with us.

We started the weekend at the Fort Worth Zoo!  It was a lot of fun this time because Madie is really interested in all the animals. 


Loves the fish, just like her Daddy!

My what big teeth you have.......

Doesn't scare me!  (as long as there is this really thick piece of glass between us)

Yay for the monkeys!!

 

Insert story here - I quit taking pictures at the zoo because I just wanted to enjoy our family time and not document every second.  But there is one little thing that made me SO very proud.  We went to eat lunch at the Zoo Grandy's (yes, we splurge on anniversaries).  There was a young couple sitting next to us with three young children and one of the kiddos knocked over a coke into every one's meal.  You could tell they were very distraught and reordering just wasn't an option.  My sweet husband nonchalantly went to the counter and reordered their meal, had it taken to them and went on about his business.  Best anniversary present ever - knowing I married a man with a sweet spirit and giving heart. 

Once back at the hotel our bathing beauty got ready to hit the pool.


 After a long soak, we had a nice snack before heading out to dinner...



 What to order?  How about fried pickles and a grilled cheese? Yes she is my daughter through and through!  Ha!

 Bed time!


  Or maybe a little fun and a quick family photo...



 The Easter Bunny even found Madie at the Embassy!


 Our eggs we decorated Saturday morning before the big adventure


 And FINALLY - Madie's very first egg hunt!






Happy Easter/Anniversary weekend - it was great!
