Helping in the Garden and Playing a Bit

The boys helped Grandma in the community butterfly garden last week. They even found two caterpillars in the garden. There is a play ground right next to the butterfly garden so after checking on the garden, then went over to play.  














The Children's Museum

Wednesday morning my mom and I took the boys to the Louisiana Children's Museum. We took the boys last year at Christmas. Ben loves their port exhibit but this time they both had a lot of fun with the grocery store, cafe and New Orleans architecture exhibits. 





The one room was almost completely made/decorated in cardboard. I didn't realize it, but one of the trees had a hole in that was a tunnel around half the room. I couldn't find Ben because he was in the secret tunnel! Luckily the parent of the little boy who Ben was playing with, let me know where he was. 
















Easter Egg Hunt

Tuesday afternoon we had a little Easter egg hunt in the front yard. The boys had fun finding all the eggs. Ben was obviously better at it than Nick, but Ben did share some of his eggs with Nick.








A Trip to the Zoo

Last Tuesday we took a trip to the New Orleans zoo. As always, the boys had a good time. Ben just wanted to see the alligators while Nick just wanted freedom to do his own thing. And food. The both constantly want nothing but food. 




There were lots of turtles sunning themselves.



Nick likes giraffes a lot. He just wanted to sit and watch them for a while. 

The raccoons were crazy! It was the middle of the day and they were scaling trees, swimming and chasing each other.


Now this is an alligator. And to think, the guys on Swamp People haul alligators this size into their boats!!
