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!

What's The Address for Timbuktu?

A box and a child. And it was not a very big box - my new printer came in that box, and it has a much lower surface area than Nick. He put himself in there. We had to tip the box over to get him out, though. Silly...

My Cute Little Easter Bunny

He can be so cute, when he wants to be. 

The concern for the candy was a little out of control. He even lined up his starbursts and counted them to make sure they were all there.

Some Post Egg Hunt Entertainment

After the egg hunt, there was a performer, of sorts. He is some kind of juggler/comedian/magician/physics defier. The kids loved him! And most of the parents thought he was very entertaining, too (at least the ones that were not called on for audience participation). Ben and Cameryn sat front row for the show. Nick was just concerned about the safety of his candy and sat on the side with me. 

This mom sat on the guys shoulders with a hula hoop and was a human basketball backboard while the kids threw balls at her!

Then it was the dad/grandpa's turn. Lucky Kevin got nominated by his daughter to participate. Adam totally lucked out by having to take Nick to the bathroom. He owes Nick big time! So all the guys sat on chairs, then leaned back and the magician guy then removed all the chairs and they stayed in their leaning circle.

Then...to end the show, he created this giant jigsaw of folding chairs and then held them up with his mouth. This guy worked HARD! He was sweating as much as I do after zumba!

After the cool guy's show (I should try to figure out his name), the Easter Bunny made an appearance, but Ben and Nick (and Avery) avoided that like eating their vegetables. After some dancing and shenanigans, they had a raffle for some various prizes. And guess who won something - BEN! I didn't get a picture of it, but he won a chocolate fish. He was soooooo excited. It was all he talked about for 3 days.
