Easter Eggs and Hunt

Easter seemed to sneak up on me this year since we had just been in Arizona.

We finally colored our Easter eggs. Jack and Ella loved it. What a mess though!

Every year that we have lived in Utah I have taken the kids to a really fun Easter egg hunt down in Mapleton with Lisa and her family. So we were really sad when we found out they weren't doing it this year!

Lisa looked online and found that Provo city was putting on a good one and we could meet at instead.

The kids and I get there a little early, which was such a good thing! There wasn't only an Easter egg hunt, but also face painting and jumpy castles and baby animals!

Ella wouldn't smile, she said that bunny's can't smile. But she was wiggling her nose.

Jack at first didn't want to get his face painted, but finally decided after seeing Ella that he would.

We were just walking around, checking things out, when suddenly Jack grabbed my leg and wouldn't let me walk any farther. I look up to see a huge chipmunk with bunny ears on. Jack fears all people in costume.

However, I am a VERY MEAN MOM. I hauled him over there. 

Once he knew nothing was scary he was fine and even WANTED a picture!

They got to pet some baby chicks and ducklings.

There were calf's and sheep too.

Lilly was just happy to hang out in the stroller since it was kind of chilly that early in the morning.

Lisa and her family came for a little while too. We thought it was funny that the girls were wearing the same shirt! Look how much taller Paige is!

Brielle loved Lilly and wanted to give her lots of hugs and kisses.

The kids (Jack especially) loved the fire truck!

After getting to do all of the fun activities there was still a little while before the Easter egg hunt began, so we got a pizza and ate some lunch in the park

Silly kids! Almost time to go!

Ella had to be in the bigger kid area. All of the kids were only suppost to get five eggs each. Jack decided to disregard that information and came back with several more then five. Which ended up being a good thing since Ella could only get two!

It was such a fun day. As I drove home I thought, these are the days that I'm so happy to be a mother to these special, sweet children.
