Well, it finally happened. After all these years of keeping this blog, I actually missed a month. April saw no blog updates at all. However, I took a bunch of photos, and a few videos, today, so I decided to do a post.
The Mesquite Groves Aquatic Center opened a few weeks ago. It is only open until 1pm, before closing to re-open at 4pm. I decided on this super-hot day, I'd send the kids to school in their swim trunks, pick them up a few minutes early, and go straight to the pool. It was a great decision. The kids had a blast! They ate sandwiches in the car on the way there, so they got straight into the water. It is amazing to see how they play now they are older and better swimmers. I'm already excited to take them back next Friday when they have a day off school.

The kids started a gymnastics class through the Town of Gilbert. They go once a week, for almost 8 weeks. The age range of the class is 3-5 years old, so it is a very intro-level class and lots of fun. The kids LOVE it.
An opening group warm up.
I think this is the exercise where the kids told me they were making pizza.
Walking to find friends. The egg hunt was spread over a HUGE area. This doesn't even come close to capturing how big it all was.

The kids making themselves comfortable.
Adele kept asking if she could eat another candy. My kids are used to me doling the candy out piece by piece, but this time, I told them just to eat it all. *laugh*
Silly Gordon
A friend took this family photo for us. The kids had a great time at the egg hunt. They told me many times how much fun it was.
After we got home, the kids ate lunch, then watched a movie, and then they dyed eggs. They got really into that activity, too.
