Easter Celebrations!

The day before Easter we had a lot of fun things planned!
We started the morning by going to Alpine with Lisa and her family for an Easter egg hunt there
It took Jack a few seconds to realize what was going on, but he was able to get a bunch of eggs
I didn't get any pictures of Ella gathering eggs, she had to be at a different part of the park where they had a hunt for older kids
Some of the eggs were marked with numbers, Jack was able to find one and get a prize!
He got this little yellow chick, which he then carried around the rest of the day!
Ella and Paige
Then just a short time later we drove down to Mapleton for their annual Easter egg hunt!
We have been able to go several times
See HERE and HERE
The kids were so excited! Even though it was pretty cold and was sprinkling almost the entire time!
Waiting for the count down....


After the kids had to sit and open each of their eggs to see what was inside
As we were taking these pictures Jack found...
a DOLLAR in one of his eggs! Lucky!
The kids loved going on this "hay ride" it was just a little trailer being pulled by an ATV
But they absolutely loved it because it went REALLY fast!
Our little friend Rachel was there and so she sat with Jack and Ella!

Then to the highlight of day, horse rides!
Jack as super excited! He remembered when he rode a horse last summer
Ella has ridden the same horse every year we've come, with the same lady.
The owner of the property where they hold the hunt each year, SO nice!
And then back to the hay ride!!!
I think they went at least 20 times!!

Time to go, but not before Jack said goodbye to all of the horses
When we got home the kids just couldn't stand going back inside the house
They are so sick of being cooped up!
So they played outside for several more hours
I love Jack's face in these pictures! The pure joy of being outside on your bike!
When the day was over the kids left a plate with some carrots (with dipping sauce) and cookies for the Easter bunny
and then to bed!!!
