Easter Saturday - Part 1

We definitely had a full weekend this Easter.  So much so, that I need to split the weekend into separate posts.  We took the first half of Saturday to do something special as a family.  The kids decided that they wanted to go to Fairytale Town.  So off we went, without knowing that there was actually an Easter celebration happening there that particular day.  We started the morning partaking in the usual slides and tree houses.

And then we found out that the Easter bunny was there and you could get free pictures with him.  We were pretty excited about that!  The kids, however, were not.  I guess there's something kinda freaky about a person in a giant bunny suit.  Needless to say, none of them wanted to get too close to him, let alone sit on his lap.

Then we decided to take part in the Easter egg hunt, along with 50 million other people.  Okay... maybe that's a bit of hyperbole... but it sure felt like it.  They announced that the kids only had to get one egg, which they could turn back in for a prize. That obviously didn't quell their excitement because when they said "go", the hoard thronged into the area (parents too... which weren't supposed to go in) and I instantly lost sight of Garrett.  But thankfully he screamed so loud that I quickly found him and got them out of there.  Neither of the twins got even one egg and thankfully another mom saw that and made her daughter share with them so they could get a prize.  Worst egg-hunt ever...

Despite the egg-flop, they all enjoyed their prize and our entire morning spent together as a family.  And, when we were all said and done I asked if Molly could put her arms around her brother and sister for a final picture... and she strangled them. Can you feel the love?
