The Hunter Within

Daddy goes a 'hunting!

Dad got to go boar hunting with his boss a couple of weeks ago. It was his first experience. They stayed in a lodge and hunted boar...wow. Intense. He did fantastic! He sent mommy a text message when he shot his first! AWESOME. Then, the next day he shot another! So, we got some boar meat now! Another guy on the trip shot one and they managed to take this AWESOME pic. The Big Bad Wolf and the three little pigs! Ha!

So, the boar meat didn't taste like chicken. It didn't taste like deer, and it certainly did not taste like pork or bacon. It tasted like boar I guess. It was pretty chewy. Abigail wasn't the greatest fan of it, but had some. We'll try more later!!

SEAWORLD

And this was the reaction upon arrival...they strategically position the gift shop at the entrance/exit and there were tons of these stuffed Shamu's in a large bin! We just hugged this one put it back! :)


At the water fountains!


We rented a nice cart for Grandpa Bud to drive around and Daddy and Grandma thought they'd go for a short ride right at the start.


Here's Grandpa Bud taking charge of the wheel!

The Sea Lion Show...Abigail wasn't a fan of the theatrics of the shows. She'd much rather just have the one-on-one time with the animals instead of the 'shows' and loud music and actors.

Here as a great example of what friends are for! Here's an alligator giving a turtle a ride across the pond!

Big Bird's Beach Adventure! They had this Sesame Street Show going on at Sea World during Easter Weekend. We got there real early so we could get front row seats! It was well worth the price of admission to Sea World! Loved it!

So super cute!

And the bubble machine went into action with thousands of bubbles falling all over us!

All the kids rushed the stage and here is Daddy taking his little girl into the mix.

This duck doesn't even look real!

Abigail looks super imposed near the ducks! Love her sunscreen sticker!

Aw, here we are with the grandparents looking at the pink flamingos!

She LOVED the pink flamingos

A common occurrence...Grandma Caroline several feet in front of Grandpa Bud! :)

Seriously, do they really sell that many stuffed whales?

Feeding the DOLPHINS. Probably one of the best exhibits there!

Here is Abigail feeding the dolphins!

Abigail taking Grandma over to Shamu.

Aw, what a cute photo!

It's Not About the Bunny

I saw a great billboard on a major highway leading up to Easter weekend, "It's Not About the Bunny." That's all that was on there. We forget about that I suppose with all merchandising and such. While it truly isn't about the bunny, I think Easter is a time for celebration and having a fun time with family and friends all while appreciating the deep meaning behind the holiday.

We were fortunate enough to visit with family in San Antonio over the Easter holiday this year. The Wolf grandparents spent the holiday with us and we made a trip to SA more because we know they had never visited San Antonio and we wanted to take them and Abigail to Sea World. Galan grandparents, Mike & Sally (Godparents) and cousins Laura and Jay met us in SA too!

In preparation, mommy made Easter baskets for everyone (the grandparents, cousins, and all!). Here are a few...as well as some other pics from our Easter Sunday.

Oree's Easter basket!


Daddy's Easter basket...


Mommy's Easter Basket (Daddy gave me this basket about 5 years ago with some treats and flowers and I've saved it and used it as my Easter basket every since then!)


This was Abigail's Easter basket. You can't see the bunny, but Uncle Dave and Diana gave her a fun bunny for her birthday and we made him our Easter bunny! This basket was our wedding basket collecting envelopes and cards at the wedding reception (since we got married over Easter weekend). It's been Abigail's Easter basket ever since then!



My favorite Easter bunny!

My bunny cake broke! I make one every year for Daddy's bday when his bday falls close to Easter.

Here it is all decorated!

Wolfpack on Easter Sunday

Abigail giving her Easter bunny a kiss (Aunt Sally, Uncle Mike, Laura and Jay gave it to her!). She ate lunch with it sitting in the high chair behind her!

Oh what a face!

The only Easter bunny she'll take a photo with!

Another Abigail Face!

Running away from Mommy and Daddy! Love this pic and her arm positions and her Easter bonnet! :)

My sweet baby girl!!
