Easter Festivities

Our Easter weekend started out with an egg hunt with our playgroup friends on Friday.

Ellie chatted with her friends on the quilt:


Link searched for eggs and tasted the sweet rewards:


Then on Saturday we headed to the Turtle Back Zoo. It was only about 20 minutes away, so we opted for the year membership in hopes of returning several more times.

Easily Lincoln's favorite part of the zoo - the train ride!

I realized Easter morning that I hadn't given Lincoln any instructions regarding what to do when he woke up. He knew that the Easter Bunny was coming, but I didn't tell him to wake us up, or wait to go downstairs, etc. So I was a little nervous when I heard doors opening and closing in the morning - we came out of our room to find this:

Lincoln had gotten dressed (notice the backwards shirt), went downstairs to the kitchen and helped himself to a peanut bar, and went back upstairs and was waiting outside his room with his shoes next to the stairs. The Easter baskets were right downstairs - so he either didn't see them, or was an extremely patient and good boy to wait for us!

"Ooh, Snow Trooper!"

Mmmmm...chocolate bunny


Ellie got some Puffs, binkys, and books from the EB; but liked playing with the plastic eggs even more!


Lincoln had lots of fun looking for eggs in the yard - shaking each one, and opening a few of them immediately, only to spew candy all over the grass. He picked up one egg and said "Worm!" but I looked at it and didn't see anything. It was only after opening the egg that I noticed the slug that had squeezed in the egg through the tiny air hole in the bottom - yuck! (I was too grossed out to take a picture) After that he would pick up an egg, look at it, and declare "No worm!" before putting it in his basket. :)
