Easter Weekend

For the Easter Holiday, we went to St. George to spend it with family. We had a really nice time together and did a lot of Easter activities that the kids really enjoyed. We started the weekend by going to see some baby bunnies at a local farm store. Little Annie fell asleep in the car but here are some pictures of Paul and Sam with the bunnies.

On the way home, we stopped to feed the ducks.


The next day we visited an indoor play area that had a lot of inflatable jumpers and slides. 

Paul and Annie jumping in one of the bouncers.

Big Paul also enjoying himself. 

Paul and dad going down the biggest slide. 

Sam found a little hole to hang out in.

One of the greatest perks of having a grandpa in construction is the equipment. Grandpa was kind enough to take Paul for a ride in his skid steer. He seemed to like it but I think it also scared him a little bit.  There is quite a difference in looking at these things in books and taking a ride in the real thing. Next time we hope to take a ride in Grandpa's backhoe. 


We spent some time coloring and dying Easter eggs. 

Here is the gang dying eggs. 


Here is Paul having one of the eggs as a snack.

We also did a little art project with peeps.

Here is Paul gluing on his peeps. 

Here are the kids in front of their finished products.

On Easter Sunday, we had an egg hunt for the kids in front of grandpa and grandma's house. 

Paul with a handful of eggs. I think he collected the most eggs out of anyone.

Here is Annie with one of her finds.

Here is Sam on his hunt.

We also opened Easter baskets. Here is Paul with his stuff scattered all over the floor. 


Finally, here is a photo of the kids in their Easter clothes. What cute kids we have in this family!


Paul is starting to really enjoy spending time with his extended family. On our drive back from St. George, Paul kept pointing behind him saying "back" and "Annie". He did not want to go home. He wanted to go back to St. George.

I love the shirts-off approach to egg dying. Very practical.

Everything is more awesome without your shirt on (wink) I'm surprised with didn't have any peeps getting glued to the kid's bellies. Maybe next year.
