a visit to the zoo

Isn't this just the sweetest picture? Mark held Addison's hand.

We were off to the zoo today! Mark and Addison had a great time, well so did Jason and I, but this blog isn't about us, it's about the kids! Addison enjoyed looking at the animals and Mark surprised us with all his knowledge about them. Who knew the kid knew prairie dog? Actually, it wasn't prairie dogs we were looking at, but meerkats. The point is he knew the words prairie dog and yes, they looked alike, a bit.

We got to feed the parakeets! Mark thought it was pretty neat, however, Addison wasn't so sure about those birds being too close to her. She prefered to be on the ground and just say "bir, bir".

Checking out the rhino, giraffes and zebras. Addison had to get up there with Mark and could not view the animals from her stroller. Of course not!!

Easter

Easter was celebrated all week-end at the Cherkas household. The kids and I went to an egg hunt on Saturday and enjoyed lunch with some friends. Sunday morning the kids discovered the Easter bunny had come and brought lots of goodies! He left all sorts of surprises in their baskets! We also dyed eggs and had another egg hunt. The kids really enjoyed the egg hunts! When Addison went down for her much needed nap, Mark and I made a bunny cake. Well, actually I baked the cake and he decorated it. It turned out pretty cute was tasty too! My family came over for dinner and brought baskets for Mark and Addison. They were so kind to fill the baskets with lots of candy!! The Easter bunny had filled their baskets with goldfish and raisins. Clever bunny!
