Candy was scattered throughout the playground. Kids age 0 to 4 were in the first round...
Then more candy was scattered around and Cole and Wayne's 5 to 8 age group was let loose. Wayne was moving too fast for me to get a good picture of him. Cole ened up with A LOT of candy. Meanwhile, inside there were sack races, egg races, and egg dying and decorating.
Afterwards, we came home and decorated our own eggs.
Wayne got really creative with his eggs.
This was Wayne's Easter basket - a bag that straps onto the handle bars of a bike. Wayne is always trying to transport things on his bike, so I guess the Easter Bunny thought this would be a good idea to use for a basket. Tucked inside amongst the candy was a bike computer so he can also keep track of his mileage and speed.
Cole's Easter basket was a Titanic beach set. Tucked away in the candy was a pocket watch like the one his character uses in the Titanic computer game.
Heather's basket was also a pink camouflage hat.
Here she is with her basket from the previous day's egg hunt looking like an Easter version of Little Cindy Lou Who.
Cole discovers his pocket watch. Between the pocket watch and the giant lollipop, Cole felt that this was the "Best Easter Ever!"
Wayne explores his basket.
Heather tries on her hat.
Peter, Jeanne, Katie, Lizzy, and Joanie came for dinner. This is the kids table, although I'm not sure Katie and Lizzy count as kids anymore.
The "adult's" table. Jeanne brought ham, corn, and two chocolate cream pies. Yum! Joanie made a pear and blue cheese salad, and a fruit salad. I made au gratin potatoes, and roasted asparagus.
Some fresh air and exercise after a big dinner.
Wayne was determined to get inside this giant old maple tree.
And he did. I was afraid he would get stuck.
Heather climbed on some rocks.

Happy Easter everyone! Hope you had as much fun today as we did.
Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThose kids are going to be careening around their classrooms tomorrow, with so much yummy chocolate to eat! At least they're still young enough that you can control their intake. Now if only I could control mine...:-)
Great Easter pictures- it looks like you had a lovely day. I can't believe how grown-up Katie and Lizzie look!
Looks like everyone had a wonderful Easter! I love the pink-cammo hat as a basket!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative Easter bunny - such great ideas in their baskets! I hope the Easter bunny didn't get stuck in the snow or go off the road this year......hmmm.....
ReplyDeleteI am jealous of your white eggs. They don't exist over here. Dyeing brown eggs- boooooooo. Not the same effect.
So glad you were able to have Jeanne and Peter's family, and Joan over to celebrate with you. Looks like the children enjoyed their visit from the Easter bunny.
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos!! It was a lovely Easter. Hey, no one has mentioned the old woman in black from Eastern Europe who was out with the kids!
