Easter

We celebrated Easter by attending Stewartstown Baptist Church's sunrise service followed by a pancake breakfast. After services, we went to Seth's Aunt JoAnn's house. We had a great time with family eating dinner and hunting Easter eggs. It was a lot of fun.

First Snow

We had our first snow of the season on Saturday. It was wonderful! I can't remember the last time the first snow was so deep and turned out to be so perfect for making snowmen. Mom totally rocked kids 2 and 3 in a snowball fight and taught them how to make a snowman. Well, we decided it looked more like a snowlady so we named her Ms. Snowlady. Enjoy the pictures and videos. The first two were on Saturday, while it was snowing. The other pictures and videos were taken on Monday when Mom could go outside with the kids.

Summer Carnival

Seth had to work at the Jefferson Carnival last week and on fireworks night we decided to join him! #3 had some cotton candy that looked almost as big as her, #2 got a yummy milk shake and #1 had a funnel cake that was so good, she finished it before I got back with #2&3's snacks! We rode some fun rides and saw a great fireworks show.

Picnic at the Park

We went to the park with some friends last week and had a picnic! It was great to be able to spend a few hours playing on the equipment, playing hide and seek, and enjoying our lunch with friends. What a fun time we had!

Weekend at Grandma's House

#2 and #3 spent the weekend at Grandma Karen's house and had a blast. They got to visit Uncle Ken and Aunt JoAnn for Uncle Ken's birthday and #2 took some pictures while he was there.

Fun in the Snow

We finally got enough snow that the kids were able to play outside. It only was about an inch or so, but that didn't stop them. Here are some fun pictures.

Christmas in California

It's been a while since we've posted and that's because the Benge family has been in California for an extended vacation with Elizabeth's parents. We went to Legoland, the Rose Parade, several Christmas lights outings and had a blast enjoying the warm California sunshine. Our son turned 8 while we were there and we were able to spend lots of time with our daughter who lives there. Here are some fun pics.

Baseball

On one of our trips to visit Dad in Kentucky we were able to visit the Louisville Slugger Museum. We learned how to make baseball bats and saw the different designs that the major league players like. We each got a small bat to take home and took a round in the batting cage.

We went to a Baltimore Orioles game this week and saw them use the bats that we saw made at the museum. We even saw one bat break! We had a lot of fun and the kids got some neat facepainting. We had a friend join us for the game and she had a good time too.
