Spring was a blur, celebrating old traditions and creating some new ones.
It began with our annual Easter pictures; you and the good old Easter Bunny chatting it up at the Columbia Mall. This year, as we waited our turn to see Mr. B, you found the perfect hat to wear. It was quite dapper, so how could we resist?
The ACTUAL Easter weekend was spent in one of our old favorites… DISNEYWORLD. Highlighting the trip was our visit to the Crystal Palace where you got to chum it up with Winnie the Pooh and friends.
While it wasn’t your first time there, it was the first time you could ride nearly every ride. And ride you did…
We also had some star sightings at Hollywood Studios including a new, hairy friend from Dad’s past.
Animal Kingdom was great this year and had many new shows. We enjoyed the Rivers of Light and you had a blast on the Safari ride (even after it broke down on the plains causing us about a half hour delay). The highlight though, was when you found out you got to touch giraffe poop at the Rafiki Station (and you did).
Later, after we WASHED OUR HANDS, we ate at Tusker House again, which was fantastic as usual. Though you probably had your biggest fear moment on the Dinosaur ride.
In Epcot you made a couple of new friends too. As well as experienced the ride of a lifetime on Test Track. But for some reason the “excitement” of the Frozen ride didn’t really cut it for you.
And as far as fun goes, you had a blast everywhere we went… Evidenced in your many faces.
A few weeks after we came home, there were a couple of important protests in Washington, DC. First there was the March for Science on a rainy Saturday afternoon. After, you were rewarded with a trip to one of our favorite restaurants, Busboys and Poets. Then the following weekend, we participated in the Climate March. You’re activism and enthusiasm made us very proud.
Another important rite of passage was the “Take Your Kid to Work Day”. You visited Dad at Merkle and showed him a thing or two.
And then, our first baseball game of this year. Five more to go!
And finally, the most important rite of passage… the SCOOTER. We had a hard time convincing you that you just needed a scooter, but with the purchase of a cool helmet you were ready to roll.
With no fear, you braved the sidewalk and made your parents proud.
As Crush might say, “KEEP ROLLING ON, LITTLE DUDE!”
It's Campbell Time!
