Late April and early May Activities

 Madelyn touches a butterfly at the Meijer Gardens "Butterflies are 

Blooming" exhibit in April.

 Mason is patient enough to have them land on him.

A likely pair of tourists at butterfly exhibit.

 Madelyn in kiddie car at park in Allendale.

 Brother helps her get up all the steps on the big slide.

 And rides down with her. Wheeeeeee!

Madelyn later in May making the doggie rock back and forth. 

 Mason out with grandpa playing golf with his new TaylorMade graphite

shaft three wood.

 We really like hats now!

 And boxes........

 Grandma got us a new kitchen.

 A five-year-old underwater fish.

 Auntie Julie brought him a snorkel.

 Mason got pretty good with it. 

Madelyn has been swimming more with her lessons. She blows bubbles and is learning how

to kick and float at the kids pool in the Aquatic Center.

Mason is a regular Spiderman now on doorways and hallways!

Other April Happenings

 Another in a long line of donut fanatics. Grandpa Dave's grandma used to buy him powdered

donuts like this when he was Mason's age (1956 or so).

We still have cold days in April - grandma takes us "Outside". That

word is capitalized in her vocabulary now. We have on our favorite

hat that we wear inside and out.

 Madelyn started swim lessons this month. She did not like putting her face in the water!

 Done with the first swimming lesson.

 Mason getting ready for his field trip to Meijer Gardens.

 Mason and a friend from his school under one of the feet of the

24-foot bronze "American Horse" sculpture at Meijer Gardens.

 Big girl in back yard with kitty.

 Cute face.

OK, I want the phone now.........

April Easter at the Armstrongs

 We had our annual Easter egg hunt in Allendale in April. Sophelia and Daravia and the

Grandparent Kendricks joined us. Here is Madelyn with some of her loot.

 Hey, I think some of this stuff is mine......

 

 Hello Kitty is definitely mine.

 Got bunny and grandpa......

Nice bunny. Kiss the bunny.......

 Mason blows bubbles for Madelyn.

 This takes lots of concentration.

 Daravia brought her good camera home and took some cute ones of Mason and Madelyn.

 They are both messing with each other.......

The college girls had bright socks, headphones, and their favorite candy in their eggs.
