We celebrated Easter here at our house with a fun dinner. The girls all got to run around outside since the weather was nice and we enjoyed a huge meal. The leftovers never did get eatten since we had all our visitors in town - and we were on the move.
Every morning of the week the Wallace family was in Kendall would wake me up and ask to go see her cousins. She was so excited, and would run to get dressed and get ready, even if momma wanted to sleep for a few hours more. It was like Christmas, but there were 2 living, breathing cousins to play with all day.
We hit up the American Girl store (which is possibly the most frightening place I have ever been), as well as saw Sue at the Field museum.
I had never taken Kendall to the museums before since I thought she was too young to enjoy them, but she really got into things at the Field. Especially the underground exibit. The kid loves dirt.
Kendall had such a blast with everyone in town, she was hartbroken when they left. She continually got up in the morning and asked to see her cousins. Nate and I had to explain they went home, and when that didn't work, we bought a puzzle map of the US and let geography help us. Oddly, she picked it up pretty quickly and if you ask Kendall where her cousins live she will point out Washington State as well as where she lives in Illinois. Good memory that one.
Either way, that US states puzzle eats a lot of time - that's a lot of states for a 2 and 1/2 year old to put back into a puzzle!
