Saturday morning, we decided that the guys should hold off on working on the truck until after the Easter Egg Hunt at City Park. We met Michael and his friend at the park, along with thousands of other people.
As they prepared the fields for the mEGGahunt, I began to wonder why the word "hunt" was included---there certainly was no need for hunting.
A better name would have been Egg Pickup, I suppose, but the kids were so excited. Adellelyn's group was first and as the whistle sounded, she took off.
It wasn't long until her bucket was full.
There was a brief break while they prepared the fields for the special needs hunt and then it was Michael's turn.
We watched as the workers scattered eggs on the grass.
Michael dashed from here to there around the field picking up the eggs he liked best.
What a sweet big brother---the first thing he did was run to pick up the "cupcake eggs" for his little sister!
There were all kinds of "bouncy" things around the perimeter of the park.
While waiting in line for the giant slide, they announced the grand prize drawing for a flat screen TV. Guess who the winner was?!?!
After the hunt and some lunch, the guys left to work on the truck again and we headed to the theatre. Unfortunately, tickets to the movie were sold out, so instead we headed back to City Park to just "chill". It was great---better than any movie, in my opinion.
We watched the ducks
and even found a nest with one egg left in it.
The kids call this duck (and any ducks with the red on their beak) "Duckdog" and they love to try to catch him. They named him long ago after feeding him and hearing him pant like a dog for more.
We attempted to sneak up on a squirrel that was creeping along the footbridge.
Meanwhile, unknown to us, there was a second squirrel crawling along underneath and he chose the exact moment that Michael tried to get closer to squirrel #1, to jump out and scare the BEJEEZES out of us!! Carmelle had been sitting down below and could see what was about to happen, but couldn't warn us in time!
Back at the house, we spent the afternoon outdoors while Carmelle fixed dinner.
Michael practiced his hitting against the side of the condo, while Adellelyn attempted to catch a bird.
She finally resorted to posing like this, hoping that a bird would use her as a bird feeder.
The guys got home just in time for dinner (this is AFTER they'd cleaned up).
Carmelle prepared quite a feast for us---steak, shrimp/chicken kabobs, baked potatoes and Corn on the cob!! Yummy!!!
