Easter Egg Hunt

I have a bunch of pictures I've been meaning to post from this past weekend and week but first some from yesterday at our town Easter egg hunt at one of the local parks. Connor had so much fun, he was literally grinning ear to ear for hours. We have been reading a book every night about the story of the Easter Bunny, so Connor was really looking forward to meeting him in person.

Here we are on the way in. Can you tell someone is SO excited to meet the Easter Bunny? He was chanting "Eggs! Eggs! Eggs!"

The scene.

There were bounce houses, face painting and sack races galore.

The handoff to the Bunny. This was actually Mrs. Easter Bunny.


Mommy wanted to get in a picture too.

The sweet treats table. Ahhh... a pregnant woman's paradise.

We all shared a cupcake.

The egg hunt area before.

We had to physically restrain him from starting, he was so pumped.

And during the hunt. This was just the 2 and under section!


Ok so I'm not one to brag about my kid but I MUST say, that he has got to be one of the sweetest and most generous kids around. At Little Gym he's the one to hand the balls and shakers out to all the kids before playing with his own. Or if he's eating something yummy he always offers everyone around him a bite. So it was no surprise that immediately following the egg hunt, he ran up to the Easter bunnies to give them a couple of the eggs he found (even though they were filled with chocolate and other goodies!!) He also tried to hand them out to random kids. Such a sweetheart.

Lovin those bunnies!!

At this point Connor literally leaped into the arms of Mr. Easter Bunny. It's a good thing he caught him, cause my kid has no fear!

Afterwards we hit the bounce houses. Remember when Connor used to be scared to death of these?? Now you can't keep him out of them. This one was for 3-6 year olds (there wasn't one for younger ages). We had to tell a little white lie that Connor was three so that he could get in. Given that his athletic ability (particularly his jumping!) probably rivals that of most 6 year olds, we knew he'd be fine. And boy did he have a blast! So little in there compared with the other kids!

Big jumps!


More Easter bunny fun.

There was a band playing so we did some dancing too.

Connor gets his killer dance moves from me of course.

Afterwards Andrew and Connor headed to their first swim lesson at the YMCA. This will now be their thing to do together on Saturdays (apparently it was all Dads and their kids). Connor took to the water like a fish, kicking, doing the backstroke, etc. We knew he would- he just loves the water!

Such a great day, being a parent is so much fun!
