Easter

Mashed potatoes, he is a huge fan

He got every last little bit off the spatula

Egg hunting

Pointing the way to more eggs

They were everywhere

Even in the bushes

Mason, Grandpa, and the elusive Easter Bunny, aka Daravia

Some were easy to find like the one in his hand, others were a bit harder like the one he was almost standing on

Grandma Carol and Grandpa Dave got Mason a mower that blows bubbles, we have lots of bubble solution from Grandma Budde also

Chocolate pudding, a new favorite, just bad at hitting the mouth consistently

He is making sure Mom is correct about the pudding being all gone

Mason's buddy the Squirrel

Toilet paper tower with Eeyore on top

Who knew toilet paper would make his day so much fun

Mason lizard

Helping Mom with dinner

Went with Grandma Carol, Grandpa Dave, and Sweet Great Grandma Donna to Fredrick Meijer Gardens to see the butterflies

We found a beaver cave and had to carry out the wood and give it to Dad

Exploring

Beautiful Butterflies

Photo opportunity

Looking over the pond

Pointing out but not touching the butterflies

Spring Fun

He has to sit on everything

Diapers as well

Hangs from the back door of the van, little monkey

Stares out the window watching traffic and squirrels

Playing with uncle Seth, there was nothing in the jar

During a trip to Countryside Greenhouse with Grandma Carol he found lots of flower pedals on the floor to pick up

Then he had to give them a sniff

And put them back up where they belong

Played in the water fountains

Smiled with the turtle

Cleaned out the nose of the Gargoyle, the gargoyle looks pleased

Climbing on boxes

Running through Moms hair

Peek

Wrestle with Dad

He always comes back for more tickling

Opening Day at Silver Lake

He loves playing with non-toys, a d-ring shackle that dad brought for just this purpose

Sitting in the parking lot watching vehicles exit the dunes

Going for a walk with Dad

We had to bring the wagon to cruise the parking lot to see all the off road vehicles

Mason and his shadow

So eager to see all the cool vehicles

Running through the picnic area

Challenging to keep our balance going so fast over rough terrain

Mom and Son

One of our favorite spots

Fun

Went to Tractor Supply to look at the bunnies

Lots of fluff

Ducks at Family Farm and Home

Poor chicks, Mason would squeak and watch them all scatter

Piano with Mom
