Grandma Visit, General Conference and Easter

The week before Easter was pretty busy for us. Joe's mom came to visit for three days. Ashton enjoyed seeing "Nana" again. We went to the beach for an afternoon. Ashton loved the sand but wasn't too sure about waves.

We finally bought her some sunglasses after she kept wanting to wear mine. She loves them.
Because of Grandma visiting, Joseph took some time off work, which was nice. Then, due to Easter holidays and his plant's turnaround/shift work, he had a five day weekend! Hooray! Thursday evening, we went up to Houston to go to the Children's Museum. They host a free night every Thursday. This makes it much more affordable because typically it's ten bucks a person plus parking. Can't quite validate driving an hour and spending over thirty dollars to spend an hour playing with cool toys. Ashton loved it! It was a pretty cool museum. We didn't like how busy it was but we expected it to be due to the fact that it was free. We also got to walk around Hermann Park, which is a cool place too.



During the priesthood session of conference, Ashton and I started the tradition of getting ice cream for a girl's night out. It was fun.


Since we didn't go to the Lake Jackson Easter Egg Hunt (it was the same night as the free night at the museum), we did our own Easter egg hunt Sunday morning. We put some popcorn in each egg and Ashton enjoyed it. We also watched General Conference that weekend. Ashton loved to see "Monson" on the TV and has continued asking to watch him since then. That evening, we had our traditional Easter dinner with some friends. Overall, it was a fun weekend.
