Big Bugs, Ducks, Fish, Dying eggs, and Bunny Cake

This weekend was the best weekend I have had in a LONG TIME. Coop and I took off of school and work Friday and headed to Huntsville to see Grammy Bobbie and Grandaddy Larry. We arrived around 12:ish. Coop did great on the ride there! The drive was quick and easy, which was music to my ears! When we got there Grammy B was ready to entertain. She had all of her Easter decorations up for Cooper to enjoy. First thing Coop did was go up to "his" playroom and started playing with firetrucks. This was the first time Grammy B had heard Coop's fire engine. And boy was it loud :). It was so wonderful being welcomed into their house with open arms. It felt like home. On our beds were Easter baskets full of goodies. Grammy made Coop a bug hat and got him a bug outfit to wear to the Botanical Gardens on Saturday. For lunch Grammy took us to Rosies. Her favorite Mexican restaurant. Coop's favorite part was the big balloon that he got. Once we got home, Aunt Ally and Grandaddy were there waiting. Coop was thrilled to see everyone. We hunted Easter eggs, grilled out, and played outside. Coop really enjoyed helping Gr-daddy do yard work. He was such a great helper! This is the best age!! On Saturday, we went to Botanical Gardens to see the BIG BUGS. The whole time we were talking about going, I thought we were going to see Live Bugs. But thank goodness they were not real.They were huge! It was pretty cool. Once we got back to the house and ate lunch, it was time for Aunt Ally to head back to Bham and for Coop to head for the bed. After nap, we were rocking and rolling again. We went to the park to feed ducks and fish. This was so fun for Cooper. I think C ate more bread than the animals. It was such a beautiful and fun day! That night we chilled out at the house. C dyed eggs for the first time. And for dessert both nights, Coop was treated was chocolate bunny cake! Yummy! On Sunday, we ate breakfast outside and C did more yard work. Cooper was very sad to leave and cried all the way down the street. But was out like a light once we hit the interstate. And as you can imagine between Bobbie, Larry, and I, we took over 1,000 pictures. We had lots of moments that were made into wonderful memories! Thanks for such a wonderful and much needed vacation! I can't wait to go back!!

I will be posting pictures as soon as I can.
