So we were looking for Egg hunts to participate in this year. We read about one online that would happen at Redmond Town Center. They were going to have a lot going on, so we decided to hit it. BOY WAS IT CROWDED...trying to find a parking spot was our first clue... lol We got there about an hour into the 4 hour activity, They had already given out the Scavenger Hunt maps for the Easter eggs--to 2,000 children that got there before we did. So instead of trying to stand in line to participate in the activities, we walked around the perimeter of the swarm of happy participants. We ran into this bear, that had no line! So we got our picture with her.
The highlight for our boys of our excursion was riding the escalators up and down. LOL
We took some pictures of the princesses--long line, so our boys just stood by them...
no, we don't know these adorable girls getting their pictures with the princesses. ;)
Then there was SPIDEY....again, long line for a pic...so we took our own...
Then the petting zoo, where they had several cute and cuddly EASTER Bunnies, though we would never know, because the line was way too long to pet them...
The boys really wanted to jump in the BOUNCY HOUSE, but again the line was way too long...hence some of the long faces in the pictures...
Fun water fountains too...
We finally left the Redmond Town Center activity and joined Auntie K at her wards Egg Hunt.
On your mark, Get Set, GO!
Auntie K was helping direct them to the hidden treasures...
Then the boys shared some eggs with their sister.
This is a common facial expression as she has been cutting teeth. She is probably grinding them right now.
Decker is such a loving big brother and Kaylie loves him.
Then we went into the backyard and played on their BIG TOY for a bit. It's a train!
And to top off the day, we painted some eggs that night for the EASTER Bunny to hide.
It's Easter morning. Decker was surprised with Magic Treehouse books for his collection. He is currently reading #45 of 54 in the series! He loves these books! Cody got an Audio Harry Potter book on CD which he is thrilled about and Kaylie got a few new onesies that she can grow into.
Kaylie found a
BLUE EASTER EGG....Got it all over her face and white sweater. She likes Hard boiled eggs. ;)
Her teething this weekend was so painful that she couldn't nurse without crying...so she decided to go on a nursing strike...no pacifier, no nursing, no nothing. I could hardly put her down as she wanted to be held all the time. I got some teething tablets for her in hopes that it would take some of the pain away. Poor baby. Her Nursing strike went on for a week. Finally on April 2nd, Mike got the idea to put some syrup on her pacifier in hopes that it would coax her to suck on it. It worked. She took a two hour nap happily sucking. Then I decided to try the same on my nipple...it worked! She contentedly nursed for 45 minutes with her eyes rolled back and almost back to normal. I can still feel that she's a little hesitant and worried that it will be painful for her....but it's so good to have her back to nursing. I was not ready to give that up yet. I really want to get to a year.
We've got a few blossoms on our Cherry Tree. Yay!
I'm loving this picture of Cody with his hands in his pocket and his new frisbee around his angelic head. And then Decker who is so excited about his Magic Treehouse book that he got for Easter. Ad missing Dad's head in the timer taken photo. Never a dull moment!
Happy Easter!!
