Riding High at Bass Pro

This morning Andrew and I got haircuts. Andrew used to sit real well to get his hair cut and now he’s squirming all over. He doesn’t like the clippers so Amanda didn’t use them. He still had some issues with the whole thing but eventually she was able to get him completely cut.

After our haircut we visited The Pastry Shop and picked up some Easter desserts like Bunny cakes and chocolate covered egg cakes plus some cookies.

After that it was earlier enough for me to take Andrew to Bass Pro Shops. I took him to meet the Easter Bunny only to learn that he wouldn’t be there until later in the evening. So, instead of meeting the Easter Bunny we went all over the store taking photos and Andrew tried out every one of the ATVs and other things to climb on and pretend to drive. He had a great time.

Then we went over to Red Robin so I could get my Birthday Burger. Andrew got his corn dog and then didn’t eat any of the corn part of the corn dog as usual. He impressed the people around us as he counted things randomly and then picked out the shapes of the lights. He was naming off colors and shapes and numbers. Just generally being quite cute.

No dessert of us but I gave Andrew one of the cookies that we bought earlier. He never got to it. He passed out dead asleep for hours. Gave me some relaxation time. No April Fools jokes on me.

Eva likes April Fools Day, yet she doesn’t quite understand it. She’s tried out a few April fools jokes but well, she’ll eventually get it. She suggested that we do jokes on the way to school. She did not appreciate when I told her that it was school switch day. I tried to convince her that we were going to a different school. She did not like that at all. The joke was on us though because when we got to school we had completely forgotten her backpack.

For the afternoon I took Andrew over to Bass Pro Shops so that we could walk around. He enjoyed it and it got him out of the house. Walking all around the store was an adventure for him. He loved the turtles and watching the fishies. I look forward to more walks with him as the weather gets better.
