The Life and Times of Charlie Shay

Easter weekend we took the grandparents to the Arboretum in our easter finest, to get some pictures of Charlie Shay with all of the blooming flowers. She also brought along her bunny ears, in true Easter fashion. Isn't she the cutest?? What fun it was! I decided to get us a season pass so we can go sometimes during the week to see what all they have going on out there. They have some great programs for older kids, and I just found out they are adding 7 acres for a huge Childrens Learning Garden. They will have 15 indoor/outdoor areas and over 150 interactive exhibits for kids. We can't wait until we get bigger. Now, we're just to little!

Charlie has also been enjoying some play dates with many of our little friends. We go to the park, or to the zoo, or just over to friends houses, or they come over to our house. Charlie is quite the social butterfly! She is getting to interact with alot of kids her age and older and she just has a blast being around the other children.

Now that the weather is getting warmer here in Texas, every afternoon I strap Charlie into her little red stroller and we take Rascal on a walk. She LOVES kicking her feet and laughing histerically at Rascal while he trots beside us. She loves her red stroller because she is big enough to sit facing out and she loves to look at the houses and flowers as we go by. I can't wait until it gets really hot and we can go swimming. She is going to love it!!
