Zurich Zoo

For Easter Sunday, we went to the Zurich Zoo. It's a pretty big zoo and we didn't even get through half of it, but Reed loved it and was so excited to go from exhibit to exhibit and talk about all the animals. He ran everywhere and burned up a lot of energy. I think that in the end, he decided that the snakes were his favorite. We actually met another couple and their daughter at the zoo so it was fun to see the kids together. Even Sophie enjoyed it, but she just kept laughing because Reed was acting silly because he was so excited. We had a great time and it was perfect weather. Warm enough for short sleeves, but breezy enough that we weren't sweating. It was the perfect day!

Saturday of Easter Weekend

Tomorrow we are going to the zoo so we did our Easter Egg Hunt today. We had Cindy and Doug over and we all cheered Reed on. He really did a great job and had a pretty easy time finding them. After he found them all, we re-hid them again and this time a bit harder. We had to coach him a bit the second time around, but the challenge is what makes it fun. He was SO cute finding the eggs. We would tell him to go look for the eggs and he would just think about it and look a little and then when he found one, he'd have to talk to it a little bit before picking it up and putting it in the basket. He has such a personality now, he really cracks me up. We had a lot of fun.

Trips to the Park

It's been so beautiful outside that we've been going to the park almost every day. Reed has turned into a complete nature boy (I'm thinking he might be interested in boyscouts) and totally ignores all the playground equipment and grabs a stick and runs to the nearest ant hill to poke the ants. Sophie really loves the swings and watching Reed run around. It's hard to believe that she'll soon be running with him. I also got some pictures of one of Reed and Sophie's daycare providers. She has been such a lifesaver and has been so helpful since day one. Reed has also grown to have a great bond with her and is very attached. She is also probably the only one that speaks English and she is great with the kids and I think she really enjoys what she does.

Easter Party

A British friend of mine decided to have an Easter Party with a couple of different mom's and their kids. It was so much fun, but unfortunately I didn't get a ton of pictures. These are the few I did get....

Sigrid's Birthday

We had a friend invite us over for cake and coffee for her birthday. She has a boy a year younger than Reed so it was also a nice play date. It was wonderful, the kids played well and to top our afternoon off, she told us she was pregnant! We're really happy for her and her family. They live really close to us so we walked and here are some pictures of our afternoon.....

Play Date

We have some British friends that have kids the same ages as ours. Our babies are only one week apart and her older daughter is only a few months older than Reed. These are some pictures of our last play date.
