Last (because it is easier to go backwards) was Easter. We had a nice day on Easter. Summer got to color eggs. No, I lie, we were too freaked out about the dye staining her and everything else so we didn't actually let her touch the dye but she did get to use that magic white crayon to design the eggs, then she helped us drop the eggs into the colored cups. We only colored 8 eggs because I knew we wouldn't eat them. I actually ended up turning them into deviled eggs and I think they all got devoured.
On Easter we went over our friends and had dinner. It was delicious and we had a great time hanging out. Summer had so much candy on Easter that she was quite fun to watch, the saying "bouncing off the walls" could have been used on her, she would not stop jumping, yelling, playing, it was pretty funny to watch. Eventually she crashed and turned into a zombie. We headed home and Summer happily napped a good long nap.
The day before Easter we went to an event at the Spring Preserve, we went, we got candy, we saw the Easter bunny! Summer loves everyone, even scary looking people dressed up to look like an Easter bunny ... she kept looking at it, it because I don't know if it was a him or her, she kept waving to it, she was quite amazed to see the Easter bunny, even though I don't think she knew what he does, you know bring candy and hide eggs.
The line for the Easter bunny was the worse part of the day, we waited at least 45 minutes if not more but Summer was in a good mood and so were her friends that came with us.
The Easter hunt at the Springs Preserve was quite different from the other two we did this year, there were no eggs, there was only candy, everywhere, lots of candy thrown all over the ground and once Summer realized it was candy she was happy to get as much as she could, unlike the eggs at the other hunts. She would get a few eggs and when I told her to get more she told me she was all done and that she had enough.
Keeping with the theme I tried to take some cute Easter photos on Friday before Easter but the weather was just annoying, mostly windy and kinda cold so we had to have a shoot inside and inside photo shoots are never as fun or as good. I kinda got one good photo of my baby girl.
Earlier in the week me and my mommy friends put on our own Easter egg hunt at a park, we bought and stuffed eggs and threw them all over the grass for the kids to collect. We plan on doing our own hunt again, it was a big hit and the kids all got a bunch of eggs. Inside the eggs was fun little toys, candy and some more candy. Summer got a few eggs and announced she had enough.
Days before this ... another Easter egg hunt, this one was at a very populated park with helicopters.
This Easter egg hunt had a ton of eggs but they also had as many people and Summer didn't end up getting many eggs because there were too many people in the way, plus we had to wait over an hour for a 5 second egg hunt - yah we won't be doing that again next year.
We also went to another small egg hunt, I didn't get any pictures but it was nice, all except the annoying wind. Plus we had our own Easter egg hunt on Easter morning. I guess that makes 5 Easter egg hunts in two weeks which is more than enough. I was super happy to put all the eggs away for next year.
During those five Easter egg hunts over the two week period we also had three parties, two birthday parties for friends and one un-birthday party at our house. The un-birthday party was a ton of fun, I will tell you about it tomorrow.
