Viz Alumni Egg Hunt

Dark clouds loomed overhead but this year's egg hunt was a success. Taylor posed with the friendly hippity hoppity bunny:
Peyton knows how to pose behind a board but Taylor was kind of hanging from her peak hole. She is the world's first 4-eared bunny!

Peyton was in the 3-5 year old division which was pseudo-competitive. She and Daddy managed to get her basket half-filled with eggs.
Then there was Taylor in her 0-2 year old division. Sizing out the competition I figured she'd fill her basket in 40 seconds. Not "Little T". . .each egg was a three-step process!

STEP ONE: "Find an egg"

STEP TWO: "Examine the egg"

STEP THREE: "Look at Mommy and tell her all about the egg"

Papa cheered on the youngsters:

PARTY DRESSES

The girls got their party dresses on and attended a 3rd b-day party for twins Bella & Lily. Peyton WON "pin the paw on the puppy". . .

Just before departing for the party a package arrived from "Auntie Bubbie" and suddenly Peyton & Taylor dropped their b-day presents and started enjoying their own gifts.

This is Taylor just after telling her infamous "knock knock" joke. She cracks herself up!

After last night's Fish Fry, Peyton picked up a shamrock she had made at school and started singing (just as St. Patrick must have as he taught thousands about the blessed trinity). . .

Purina Farms Little School Fieldtrip

Peyton is lucky enough to have a Daddy with flexibility at work. . .the whole family attended the field trip to Purina Farms. Taylor enjoyed watching the tiny piglets:Patches the bovine had terrible breath:

Taylor wasn't have as scared as Peyton when it came to posing with the Moolah TIGER. . .

Here is Peyton standing on the elephant platform used in the actual Circus:

Daddy rode with the girls this year. . .sat right upon the elephant's hip:

When the girls touched this clown's hand they sent ELECTRICITY through him which made the light bulb in his other hand light up.

Pony ride:

Fear not, they ate a healthy dinner at home before getting popcorn and cotton candy at the big event. . .
Souvenirs:

America's Incredible Pizza Company

Now that Taylor is old enough to truly enjoy everything at IPC, she feels like a lady of the world!

I've known these honkers for almost 13 years. We felt very old when I pulled out our "Corporate Banking Analyst Program 1996" BIO booklet. . .
