Easter in Mississippi

We went to Mississippi for Easter to see Marcus' side of the family. The drive from Houston is about 10 hours and Olivia did well on the way there. We watched YBCR twice, Yo Gabba Gabba, and Princess and the Frog. We were happy that my sister went with us so she could entertain Olivia and help drive. We got there the Wednesday before Easter and left the next Friday. Olivia really enjoyed seeing her grandparents and her cousins. Everyone was so excited that she could and did call them by their name. Marcus' dad is a pastor so we went to his church for Easter.

Olivia ran around so much before church that she fell asleep in the car on the way to church.

Marcus, Olivia, and I after church.

Olivia
had a lot of energy after church because she took her nap during church. When we went out to the car she saw her ball and wanted to kick it around in the front of the church.

Marcus' dad has a four wheeler and my sister wanted to drive it. She did really good for her first time. We let Olivia ride on it with her and she had so much fun. We thought she would be scared but she wasn't.

Visit from some Friends

We had a visit from our good friends Lana and Madelyn. We were so happy that they wanted to see us while they were here in Houston. On Thursday we all went to Houston's Children's Museum. I think the girls had a lot of fun. They played in the water and they went shopping at the little HEB. It was so good to see them and I know that Olivia was happy to see Madelyn.

On Friday we went to Wonder Wild. I had been wanting to take Olivia there for a while but with Lana and Madelyn in town it was a good time for us to check it out. They had a lot of things for the girls to climb on and in. I think the girls had a lot of fun. It was this really big slide and I think the moms had more fun going down it than the girls. It was also this big thing in the floor filled with air that you could jump on. That is what Olivia is sitting on in two of the pictures below.

This place was big and Olivia and I climbed all the way to the top and went down the big slide.

You operated these train cars by using your hands to peddle. Madelyn enjoyed it more than Olivia. The next pic is livi climbing up the stairs she got tired half way up and just sat there.
