Easter Extravaganza!

Let the marathon blogging begin!

Easter...Easter...so long ago! But what an awesome weekend!

Chris took Good Friday off and we headed to the coast with several families of friends. It was SUCH a good time!!! Caleb and Carson even got to drive down with the Weatherholtz and they pretty much thought they were the coolest ever! :) Unfortunately...we left our phones in the car which meant that we took zero pictures! We will have to bum some off of the other fun people who went and brought their cameras! Suffice it to say--we had a BLAST and I am left wondering why we just don't do that every weekend.

Saturday we woke up and left our hotel early to drive to the next party! Some friends of ours have an Easter egg hunt every year on their awesome farm!



But there is SO much to do in addition to the egg hunt! Like huge tire swings



Throwing rocks in the pond



Riding in jeeps and go-karts


You get the idea. Straight up fun and the boys are in heaven each and every time we go!

Through it all--we stayed up late, got up early and drove several hours here, several hours there and back again. But the boys were still smiling at the end



In the weeks leading up to Easter, we did lots of other fun stuff. Like dying Easter eggs



Making Easter bunny cupcakes



Eating said Easter Bunny cupcakes




We also made some rice krispie treats shaped as easter eggs with surprises (m&m's) inside.



The boys had fun having an Easter egg hunt at our house and finding the other surprises left by the Easter Bunny.



And of course Aunt 'Nyn is awesome as always. She found this egg that you put in water and watch and watch and watch...



Several days later...it hatches! So cute! The boys were SO excited to check it several times a day every day to see if it was hatched yet!



Good times...good times.
