Easter

We went to the annual Easter egg hunt on base with the boys last weekend. It was a really nice morning and there was just enough activity at the park. Ryan got to participate this year. They have several different age group hunts--I think Ryan's group was 1 and 2 year olds. So he fit in with all the other poky little toddlers romping around, picking up eggs, shaking or sticking them in their mouths, then putting them back down again. After carrying a few around a bit he got the hang of putting them in his basket. Until he found half of an egg that was open and slightly broken--pretty intriguing because it squished together a bit.





Trevor was in the 3-4 age group and it was a bit more down to business. I think the amount of time to gather all the eggs continued to shrink as the groups progressed.



Trev's class made some pretty cute "Easter bonnets" this year. They added all sorts of bugs/trucks/animals/army men type flourishes to the boys' hats to man them up. I think Trev was most excited about the froggies on his hat.



























Lots of kids carrying balloons meant lots of balloons escaping to the sky. Balloon spotting was pretty interesting.
























The Easter Bunny seemed to loose his scariness this year. Trev sat next to him, hugged him, and asked questions about why his mouth doesn't move.
























The park was pretty busy. Ryan was absolutely thrilled to be there. I think all the extra kids running around was pretty exciting.





And the Bunny Cake was made. Though, I hear that the details were questionable. John was a bit concerned about the integrity due to the face being decorated only with jelly beans.
