Take their first trip to the zoo! It was colder than we'd hoped (the kids had to wear their winter coats for most of the morning), but a chilly day meant no crowds and lots of opportunities to view the animals up close. We got to see penguins, seals, a polar bear, sharks, a bald eagle, lions, giraffes, rhinos, elephants, cheetahs, a porcupine, and more! The best part? My parents gave us a membership so that we can go back anytime we want. Thanks, abuelitos!
The Fab Four also ...
Got their first tricycles! Rather than put a bunch of candy in the mail at the end of the month, my parents chose to give each kid their very own Radio Flyer as an early Easter present. The chicos weren't quite sure what to do with the trikes, but the adults had a good time helping them to figure it out. I think we're going to have a lot of fun cruising the neighborhood trails once they get the hang of it—my problem is going to be keeping track of all of them! Watch as the Fab Four check out their new rides for the first time:
And, last but not least, the kids got to ...
Eat at Mommy and Daddy's favorite pre-quads restaurant for the first time! The night before my parents left, we all went out to eat with Tío Ner, Tía Harriet, Tía Glenda, and Glenda's brand-new fiancé, the soon-to-be Tío Bill. The kids were fantastic, and a lady at a neighboring table even took the time to tell me that she couldn't believe how well-behaved our four toddlers were. Let me tell you, I was one proud mamá! Here we are enjoying some chips and some Chavo:
Thanks for celebrating your 40th wedding anniversary a little early by coming to see us, abuelitos! We love you and can't wait for your next visit!

Your kids are just gorgeous. What a beautiful family!
What a great series of adventures! I'm glad they like tortilla chips. :) And that zoo membership is going to be fun.
What a fantastic week with the abuelitos! Fun firsts! Love, love, LOVE the tricycles! BTW, nerdy PT comment here....if you/they get frustrated with not keeping their feet on the pedals at first, try sticky back velcro on their shoes and pedals...helps them get the feel for keeping their legs on!
Besos!
Thanks, Linnea ... and right back atcha! ;)
Lindsay, tortilla chips are the only Isaac would eat there. Typical!
Julie, there's no such thing as a nerdy PT comment ... great idea!!
Looks like you guys had a blast with your parents! I'm sure you will get a ton of use out of those zoo passes.
Love the tricycles! Dahlia was so cute creeping along on her toes with hers!
