Easter was so much more fun with a little one who's almost old enough to really get into it. I had off work Friday the 2nd through yesterday and the weather was beautiful, so we took advantage of it! Friday I wanted to take Leah to Pullen Park to see the ducks, because she seems to be really into any kind of animals these days & loves ducks & fish. So we got all the way there & found out it was closed. No ducks! So we went to the nearby Science Museum instead & saw pretend ducks. Then we ran around in the grass around the Capitol building. A passerby even offered to take a picture of me & Leah together. (There are a ton more pictures on the photo website.)
Saturday morning we went to an Easter Egg Hunt at our church. Once she saw the eggs, she seemed to know exactly what to do. She started to pick them up & I only had to tell her once to put them in her basket and then she was off! She even started putting them in other kids' baskets and then taking them back out. My little pirate!
Most of her eggs were filled with lollipops (which I will be saving for occasions when I need 10 minutes of peace) and stickers. She didn't seem to care as much what was inside. Afterward, she just wanted to run around & play.
Sunday we went to church, at the church where Brett is interim. We didn't do sunrise service, since we would have had to leave around 6am. The Easter Bunny brought Leah some chocolate candy (she is constantly asking for "cookie" now that she's had her first taste!), some stickers, and some other snacks the Bunny already knows she likes! She insisted on carrying an egg around most of the morning, and has been playing with them (dumping them out & putting them back in her basket) the past two days. Actually, it was quite a relaxing morning, and then since there was no evening service, we had a nice dinner (which my picky eater Leah didn't even really touch!), a little Easter egg hunting for Leah at home, and just relaxed all day.
