Happy Birthday Holiday

Holiday is the big 5 and she knows it.  "Hi, I'm Holiday. I'm 5."  (holds hand up so one can indeed count 5 fingers).  We had a little cake for her on her birthday and she opened presents.  On Saturday we went to the Bunny Bounce at the zoo, which was sopping wet.  We at least got the egg hunts in.  Kudos to everyone who came and toughed it out.  After the rain kicked in, we all mostly hung out in the covered food court, the Zoomazium (which is covered) and the Tropical Rainforest exhibit, again covered.  That part used to be the nocturnal house so that was new for us.  We'll have to go back on a nice day so the kids can really check out the animals.  We colored Easter eggs Saturday night and had our own egg hunt in our backyard on Easter Day.  Johnny was almost as good at it as Holiday.  I didn't get to any yard work this weekend but I did peek at my seedlings in the greenhouse to make sure they were watered enough.  A lot of stuff NEEDS to get transplanted asap.  The pumpkins, zucchini, broccoli and romaine are pretty much busting out.  The rest will probably be close behind.  I have weeding to do and more seeds to plant, but the yard looks pretty good.  We also went to Drew's band performance yesterday evening.  He plays mostly bass but does other stuff as well.  I loved the Easter version of Tribute.  I'm also highly entertained by the lead singer's passion for changing costumes during the set.  I think the bunny outfit was Holiday's favorite.  The kids both liked the place and balloons and dancing.  We had to leave when there was no more space for Johnny to explore except for the kitchen, bothering the sound guy and the front door and beyond (which he could totally open).  I'm thinking that Bumbershoot will probably be more fun this year with the kids interested in music and dancing.  I'll post pictures once they are downloaded from the cameras.
