Hippity Hoppity - Happy Easter!

Okay, I was wrong about the weather on Easter.  It was absolutely gorgeous and has been for the better part of a week.  The forecast even continues this way (60s and sunny) for several more days!  I'm probably just jinxing it by talking about it.  Anyway, we are loving it!

On Saturday, there was a city-wide egg "hunt" at the park within walking distance of our house, so we met up with Carson and Abigail and just made it as the "GO!" was sounded.  I put the word hunt in quotation marks because they just had several roped-off, age-appropriate squares of grass where they dumped a total of 16,000 eggs.  They were all snatched up within a minute, and Owen was just wandering around marveling at all the kids grabbing eggs out from under him.  Luckily, there was a generous mom next to us who had her children share their bounty with Owen.  We passed some along to Carson, who didn't pick up any either.  Do you see Owen (in white)?

Hadley enjoyed the view from the stroller.

On the way home, we peeked in at some ice skaters prepping for a show that afternoon.  When he overheard Carson's dad ask Carson if he wanted to come skate next weekend, Owen's response was "I do!"  He was impressed by the young figure skaters.

Eggs!  These were fun even before they were filled with candy.  :)

The next morning we had Easter baskets, which were more entertainment-based than candy-based, but still well-received.

One of the favorite basket items was the Easter grass itself.

The egg hunt at church was also separated by age groups and much more civilized.  There was only one other pre-school-aged hunter in Owen's group!

I was excited that Hadley had another occasion to wear her super-cute dress.  It was warm enough, and it still fit!  

Back at the house, we dined al fresco and enjoyed all of our blessings.  Happy Easter!
