Easter Fun

We did a few fun activities leading up to Easter this year. Friday night we colored eggs.

We do our egg hunt Saturday so on Sunday we can focus on why we really celebrate Easter. Here are the kids getting lined up and ready to dash for the eggs. Isaac was more interested in the grass then anything else.

Run, run!

Opening the goodies. We also have a tradition of the Easter bunny bringing the kids a game. The Easter bunny almost forgot this year, but on Friday night Samuel asked me what game I thought the Easter bunny would bring. The daddy bunny made a quick trip to the store and got hungry hippos. Chuck and I both had this game as kids.

And the kids love playing it. I've lost track of how many times we've played this game over the past two days.

After our little egg hunt we went to the park for the city egg hunt. It was cold and rainy this year, but that didn't stop us.

We were thinking there would not be as many people at the park because of the weather, but there were still a lot of people. Samuel ran clear across the field from where we were standing because he had his eyes set on a patch of blue eggs. He actually gathered almost a whole bucket full. Bella only got 4 eggs. Chuck was with her, but she was watching everyone else instead of gathering.

Getting soaked!
