Tickles 'n' Giggles: Easter Bunny Fun!

We went to Downey for to do the Easter Egg Hunt there (smaller town=less crowds) and do participate in the Easter Fun at Downata Hot Springs. The kids were a little overwhelmed with all the candy and eggs every at the Downey Easter Egg Hunt! They sure had alot of stuff on the ground.

First thing Lily goes for is the soda pop (can you tell where are kids put their priorities). It was kinda cute. Our kids were really selective on what they picked up, so they really didn't come out of the egg hunt with much stuff, but that's ok, they got plenty of candy over the weekend. We decided that as parents, we weren't going to pick up any of the candy for our kids. Plus they had alot of fun doing it!

Lily managed not to pick up the soda pop sitting right next to all that candy.

There is too many to choose from!

Then we went swimming and had an Easter Egg hunt in the swimming pool, met the Easter Bunny, and did the pinata at Downata Hot Springs!

On Sunday, the Easter Bunny came in the morning but only brought their new Sunday Clothes and one Empty Egg. We talked about the empty tomb and about Jesus before we put on our new clothes and went to Church (since we have 9am church). The kids were actually ok with this, and this might become a tradition in the future too. Unfortunately, we forgot to take pictures of them in their new Sunday clothes! Amanda made Lily a dress and Avery got a cute little suit.

After church, while we were watching the animated video about the Resurrection, the Easter Bunny came and hid our eggs outside. Boy were there alot of eggs to be found! The kids really enjoyed finding all the eggs everywhere. Probably more so than the city Easter egg hunt.

With all their Easter Spoils

Then we headed to Brian's sister Candace's house for a yummy ham dinner and to color Easter Eggs (since we didn't get around to it earlier in the week). This year we dyed our eggs with food coloring and cool whip. It was really easy for the kids to do and we didn't have to worry about it spilling everywhere! Plus the "dye" was yummy. Thanks Candace for a yummy dinner!
