An exciting week

Last Wednesday, Matt got two free tickets to see the Astros from the Coke Box Suite!! Chelsea and Ian were happy to accompany him.
After watching some batting practice
and eating some yummy (free!) food and drink,
the game started!
Ian enjoyed every moment,
including his one-on-one time with the camera man
and some TLC from the Astros mascot, Junction Jack!!
On Saturday, we went to Trinity's Easter egg hunt. Ian thought the carnival-type games were amazing, especially the "go fish" game, the lollipop tree (he wanted to eat the lollipop immediately!),
and ring toss (a.k.a. "place the ring on a stick from 2 inches away").
He also enjoyed blowing some bubbles before the Easter egg hunt started.
As soon as Pastor John said, "1-2-3, Go!" Ian started picking up eggs!
He gathered about six eggs before realizing that there was CANDY inside them,
so he promptly sat down to start opening them all up!
The Skittles seemed to be his favorite. In the video below, he'll tell you all about his morning!!



Then we went to a friend's 2nd birthday party. All the kids got their own Happy Meals!
The day was SO beautiful we decided to eat our breakfast (well, dinner ...) burritos outside!
On Sunday, we went strawberry picking after church. NOTHING beats fresh strawberries, right from the garden! Yum! We highly recommend Atkinson Farms -- it's owned by a member of our church!
Ian caught on right away to picking only the "bright red" berries,
and of course he stopped to sample some along the way.


For lunch, we bought some crawfish, potatoes, and corn from H-E-B to give Chelsea the "crawfish boil" experience. She wasn't the biggest fan, although she was a good sport.
Ian was fascinated by the crawfish and was excited by the corn until he tasted the spicy Cajun seasonings on it. Then, he didn't want anything more to do with it and unfortunately even got some spice in his eye. Ouch! It may be a while 'til he wants to try crawfish again. Ha ha.

For dinner, we had strawberry shortcake. YUM! :)
