Happy Easter!

Saturday Morning before Easter, the City of Naples and a local Radio Station put on a huge Easter Egg Hunt. It was held at the City Park and it was all divided up by age, from 0-4 to like 15-18 year olds...yeah we thought that was a bit old too, but it could have been fun to watch. Don't tell, but Corbin got to go in the 0-4 year olds with Aidan so we didn't have to separate them. We figured that since he had only been 5 for 2 days he was o.k. Nate's parents were still visiting and went to the park with us to watch all the excitement. Afterward they traveled back home. We wish they could have stayed for the rest of the weekend, but we were grateful for them coming to visit and all their help with Corbin's party. We love to have Family come stay with us so please anytime any of you want to just let us know and come on out. We'll do our best to make it a fun time! Corbin took off on his own and at one point we panicked because we couldn't see him for about 1-2 full minutes. I spotted him just moving a long with the crowd picking up candy as fast as he could. He had a blast and next time I think he will be holding hands with one of us.

Aidan stuck right with his Daddy and had a great time. He went for all the little candy stuck in the grass and didn't miss a thing. He was so excited every time he found a new tootsie roll or sucker a long the way.

Just a cute shot of Daddy and Son strolling around on the hunt...and yes for some reason they both had to hold on to the basket.

Here's the Boys with our cute little neighbor girls, Amy and Megan at the Easter Egg Hunt. They are all good friends that play together often and also are in our ward, so it's great fun! What's kind of funny and unique is that both these Girls birthdays are about 1-2 weeks after each of our Boys. So it's fun they are the same ages.

After the Egg Hunt at the park we let the Boys go play on the playground while the traffic died down leaving the park. They had a Blast! We also met some other neighbors while we were there, a couple of little Boys that live across the street from us also. They are good friends too. It was fun to see a few of our neighbors out at the Egg Hunt. Here Aidan is climbing through the tunnel on the playground. He had his little mouth full of candy and was grinning and laughing as his Dad was taking pictures of him as he ran and climbed all over the playground.
Here is our little Monkey. Corbin has loved to climb from the time he could crawl and walk. He's amazes us with what he can do sometimes...this is why he is now in a Tumbling class....to teach him how to be safe while he's being wild and crazy. He had a great time at the park also and loved running around and climbing everything.

As we were driving home from the park we discussed with our Boys, why we really celebrate Easter and that we're celebrating Jesus Christ and his Resurrection and that he gave us the chance to have Eternal Life and be together forever as a Family. Corbin thought this was pretty neat and I was happy that he understood more that I thought he would about it. Of course he asked lots of questions, but he really wanted to know all about Jesus and Easter. I'm glad we took the chance to talk to both Corbin and Aidan about it, so they don't just think it's all about Eggs and Easter Bunnies.

Later that day we dyed Easter Eggs. The Boys had so much fun coming up with weird designs for their eggs. I'm surprised to even say it, but they also like to eat the hard boiled eggs when they are done dying them. Few Kids I know like eggs at all, but they eat them almost any way they can be cooked. Mostly we made them for Nate since he likes to take one with his lunch everyday for a snack, but I'm sure we'll eat a few plain with salt and make a few egg salad sandwiches too.
We had planned a small Easter Egg Hunt for outside in our yard, but not long after we got home from the Park it began to rain and didn't let up till late evening time. So we made a change of plans and did it in the house instead. The Boys though this was great and it was so fun watching them run around the house looking for hidden treats. By this time, both Boys had really caught on to what your suppose to do at a Easter Egg Hunt and they went full force around the house in search for treasures.
Corbin found a few in the tub and in the process accidentally dumped his basket out while trying to climb out of it. He was so good about it and quickly gathered his treats and kept going.

Easter Morning after the Easter Bunny left a treat for the Boys. They both came running in to wake Nate and I up and Corbin said "come look at this so special surprise that the Easter Bunny left us, it GRREAT! We must be good Boys!" I thought that was pretty clever. They are good Boys and I love them dearly! After Church, Nate had to work at Holiday Inn so we made up a ham dinner and went and had our Easter Sunday dinner with him at work. It was a Great weekend filled with lots of fun! Happy Easter! We hope you all had a great time too!
