Easter Bunny, Easter Egg Hunts, Races, Movie… Big Weekend

On Saturday we went to an Easter egg hunt at the local KOA (wow… nice KOA…I’ve never seen one with such a nice pool/waterslide/play area).  Before the hunt started, they did a race for each of the age groups.  Tanner (2 - 3 age group) was kind of afraid to run so Barb ran with him.  Then for Riley, Tanner and I went down to the finish line.  Barb told Riley to “run as fast as you can to mom.”  On your marks, get set, go… here he comes… he’s running as fast as he possibly can… and by about 2 lengths… it’s Riley :)  He won for the 4 - 5 age group (he won a stuffed bunny)… he beat out about 35 or so other kids… I guess our constant racing is paying off :)

We dyed some eggs on Saturday evening… the boys went to bed and the Easter Bunny showed up :)

We spent all day Sunday hunting for eggs and playing soccer and basketball… I’d hide the eggs and the boys would find them… Riley would hide the eggs and Tanner and I would find them… then Tanner would hide them and Riley and I would find them… and then again and again and again… they loved it!

Then today, Barb, the boys and I went to see “Horton Hears a Who.”  It was a pretty good movie… we all enjoyed it :)  This is the 3rd time the boys have been to a movie in the theatre and they are getting much, much better.  Tanner sat the entire time (oh sorry, one potty break)… quietly sat and watched the movie… I was amazed.  Riley talked to Gramma Barbie a decent amount, but Gramma was also talking (surprised?) so his conversations were partly him and partly her. All in all they did really well this time around!

That was our weekend… I hope everyone of you all had a good weekend!!!

    That’s nice that you can take them to the theatre like that. Now all you have to do is get them to Anaconda for some real popcorn while they watch ;) Sounds like they had a wonderful Easter! Way to go Riley!!! He did such a great job at the hunt. I am glad you all had a good time!

    Love,
