Easter

Yeesh...it's been over a week since I posted! Probably had something to do with me being out of town for 6 nights. And now I'm home for a REALLY LONG TIME. Anyway, last Friday we headed to Gommy and Poppa's for our Easter celebrations. Such awesome weather we had, so we really had a good time. On Saturday morning we headed out to Dan Nicholas Park for an extremely over-crowded Easter egg hunt and then to enjoy the park. Blythe got no eggs in that hunt and Ethan ended up with 2 eggs (not sure how that happened actually). The park is a really cool park (would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of going) and you could spend more than an entire day doing everything it has to offer. But we went for the massive playground, train ride, carousel ride, and petting zoo. Had a picnic lunch, then headed back to the house.

While Ethan napped (or actually just played in his room for a really long time before falling asleep), Blythe headed to another Easter Egg hunt in my parents neighborhood. This one had much less kids, so Blythe ended up with 41 eggs (the most), but did not find the gold or silver egg, which would have won her a big prize and the $5 that was inside each of those! Anyway, she had a good time and racked up on some candy.

Because 2 egg hunts (actually 3 if you count the one we did here in Blacksburg before we left) isn't quite enough, we had one more on Sunday. This one we did as our traditional family egg hunt where we save egg shells, dye them, fill them with confetti, then cover with crepe paper. It's quite a long process, but the reward is getting to crack them on people's heads after you're done hunting them. Blythe hasn't quite figured out how to crack them without hurting her victim, so I think we all had minor headaches after she was through with us. But anyway, it was a lot of fun.

Grams (Braden's mom) had sent the kids some really cute Easter clothes, but we didn't make it to church on Sunday, so I asked Lynette to get some shots of the kids in their stylin clothes. It was hard to pick just a few to post, but here are some of my favorites.

Thanks Lynette for taking such awesome pictures!

Later on Sunday, the guys headed out so they could attend the practice round at the Masters on Monday. Sounds like they had a really great time. I need to check out the pics Braden took and then I'll post some. While they were there, I had to fly out to Oklahoma for work. Was supposed to get back Wednesday night, but got in to Charlotte too late to drive home, so I drove back to my parents, stayed the night, then drove home yesterday morning. And boy am I glad to be home!
