"Mom..when is it going to be Easter?" is a question I have answered many of times during the last week or so.
To our family, Easter is all about the magic of the Easter bunny, egg hunts and a good reason to spend the day(s) together enjoying, relaxing, consuming great eats and having fun. So we kicked off that fun this past Saturday morning when the Easter bunny arrived via helicopter to our local middle school.
Now how cool is that???
Hello Easter Bunny.
The excitement of the white bunny landing was only surpassed by the growing thrill of finding the colorful plastic eggs. We met up with our friends, split up in three groups and I took the two older girls to unleash their gathering skills.
Ready, Set, Go.
Success but sharing it with friends is the best!
On our way back, the girls spotted a face painting station which they couldn't resist before meeting back up with our families.
We said goodbye to our friends and left the school, heading to Whole Foods where we knew more Easter fun awaited. Initially Rylan was hesitant to get too close to the bunny so Scott provided the necessary space, reassurance and comfort needed. Before long , Ry grew comfortable, almost too comfortable, as he began jumping into other people's pictures. Shy, our boy is not.
The store also had a few fun things for the kids to do. I love that our community offers so much for families. As a parent of little ones, I am always so appreciative of all the free things to do with our kids.
And with that we began the festivities. Makenna was especially excited that Easter had finally arrived. The kids had a blast, enjoyed the celebrations and eagerly awaited the bunny's overnight arrival to our home that night.
I'll be back to tomorrow to share Easter Sunday stories and photos! The fun continued...
