Happy Easter

Goobie said this was her "favorite bunny"

We couldn't have asked for a better weekend in La Grande. Saturday was gloriously sunny and over 60 degrees. We went to 2 egg hunts, one at a friend's farm where they had chickens, pigs, cows, dogs, horses, a bonfire, scored a new trampoline, AND decorated eggs. The kids made so many good memories. Sunday was a great day at church and I feel so filled with the joy of Easter. Monday is here now and it is raining and cold, so we got lucky! Twinkle Toes had such a great weekend she wasn't ready to go back to school today.

we went down to the river, it was a beautiful day in La Grande






Goobie hunting eggs at a friend's farm, Twinkle Toes filled her basket and then gave them all away to other kids who didn't get as much (but she DID keep all the eggs with money in them) . Smart girl.




the kids hunted for eggs at Riverside Park, Grace got more eggs than her older siblings!

Goobie picked up an egg and then she would look back at us with her hand in her mouth, we yelled "go get another egg". She finally caught on and filled her basket.

later in the day we got a "free" trampoline from a friend who was moving and couldn't take it with them. We are so excited to get it and the kids LOVED it! It does need some repairs so we are going to have to get a few things fixed. I think this will be a blast this summer. We won't show you a picture of the whole side that is missing springs! Luckily, our kids are light! Right now, they are to avoid that side (are we crazy or what?) At least it was free!

then it was on to egg dyeing, man could we pack a little more into one day or what?

we made the kids wait until after church and Sunday lunch until they could open their Easter baskets, they were pretty good about it, surprisingly!

the kids dressed up for church, Mackenzie wore Miss Madison's dress and we color coordinated everyone else around it to honor her.
