0 Easter Weekend 2009

This weekend we had lots of fun. Uncle Troy came with his girlfriend Heidi & her daughter Aliyah. Friday we went to the Baby Animal Days at the historical farm. Then on Saturday we hopped on down the bunny trail at Lee's grocery store and came home to dye eggs.

Baby Animal Days:

• Allie couldn't enjoy any of the smaller animals we saw early on, since she was so afraid I would forget to take her to the pony ride. Next year we'll do that FIRST. Maybe there will be less than an hour wait earlier in the day. After the long wait, the actual ride was pathetic, 3 times around the circle, but she loved it.
  
• Kylie was taken with the HUGE oxen. Seriously they were taller than my head! IMPRESSIVE. When we got to the small animals I took her granola bar away so she could hold a chick instead. WRONG MOVE! She threw a tantrum and shoved the animals away until she had her snack back in her hands.
• Allie was all smiles holding the little turtle, but when it moved she panicked and dropped it. She was embarrassed afterward and wouldn't hold it again. She was interested in the snakes and want to look BUT NOT TOUCH! Aliyah, however, did hold it.
• Notice that Kylie is eating AGAIN in the photo with the Easter Bunny. She was a muncher all day long, but it was a LOT of walking. I made her walk until noon when I went back to the car for our sack lunch and the stroller.

I can't get the slideshow up...come back later :(

Lee's Bunny Trial:
a perfect alternative to a massive public egg hunt. The kids 'hop' around the store following arrows and get treats at different stops. Seriously mykids got a handful of goodies at each of about 8 points, including chips and a Capri sun juice. Oh, the balloon was Kylie's favorite. We could have left with only that and she would have been happy.

Egg dying
calm and uneventful. Kylie didn't participate till the last 2 or 3. Before that she
was too busy scarfing down her candy from Lee's before I could take it away.
