Zip, Zip, Fly!

The boys each got a zip flier thing from the Easter Bunny. Nick was smart enough to ask for help. Ben, not so much and he ended up cutting his eyelid with the flier (but it was kind of like a paper cut and a non-issue to Ben). 

The Hunt of the Easter Egg

After finding Easter baskets and Ben doing his Legos, we headed to Milan, where the Easter Bunny had also made a visit and left some goodies! The boys got new spring clothes, bubbles, puzzles/art stuff and zip fliers. The Easter Bunny also hid some eggs in the backyard. The boys had fun running around finding the eggs! 

Note how Nick really pulls off the vest, bow tie and untucked shirt look very well. The kid does wear preppy well. And he kept that bow tie on almost all day.

The Easter Bunny Made A Visit

Sunday morning we went to church at 8 and while we were gone, the Easter bunny made a visit! He brought lots of fun stuff including sand buckets, Ninja Turtle gardening supplies, bubbles, jelly beans and gummie treats and chalk! Ben got small legos and Nick got a wheel barrow. Ben pretty much didn't do anything until he had his lego set put together according to the directions, which took about an hour. 

Time to Color Some Eggs

It wouldn't be Easter without coloring eggs! The boys were very excited to dye eggs this year. I only boiled twelve eggs, so it always goes so fast and they are always looking for more after the last one. They did very well, though, with very minimal mess. The end results were pretty good (and apparently tasty as the boys devoured them).

Annual Zoo Animal Easter Egg Hunt

We made our annual Good Friday trip to the zoo to see the animals get their Easter eggs. We set up camp at the monkeys to watch them. It was a very nice day out. The kids loved watching the moneys find their surprises. This group was a mom, dad, two older brothers and a baby sister that is almost 2. They were pretty cute!

The mama and the baby sister

The tongue! The drool! Her sister all sweet and innocent while she makes silly faces! Oh, too funny!
