The Spillanes Come Back To The Better Coast

MML_007

Right before Easter we had a visit from my mom, step-dad and Mattie Rose!! The kids were SOOO excited to have them here. For the first time since they were really little, Max and Mattie got along like best friends. They didn't fight or whine about each other. They played like a sweet aunt and nephew should.

By Mattie's request we headed out to Sea World and the Zoo. Lots of fun was had, even if it did sprinkle on us at Sea World (prompting Bob to buy a few Shamu ponchos and my mom deciding to be brave and wear one).

Danielle also planned a super fun Easter egg hunt for the kids. And nobody cried! Okay, honestly Lia probably cried because she cries about everything. And okay, maybe I cried a little when I realized how grown-up Mattie and Max are getting. Can't they just stop! Just for a little while! I'm already picturing their high school graduation and getting weepy.

What is that creature you guys are posing with? Is that a seal?
