We were blessed with beautiful weather and lots of family time this Easter weekend! Will got an Easter basket from us on Saturday morning (two books, a hooded beach towel and two Reese's peanut butter eggs) before we headed to the neighborhood eggs hunt. He got four eggs with candy and one Play Doh egg. Each child was supposed to get 12 (the amount each parent contributed in advance), so we're not sure where the extras went. I was just fine with less candy though! It was a beautiful day and from there we walked to the playground to burn off more energy before lunch.
Amazingly, I got Will to nap on Saturday after lunch by laying next to him in his bed and reading and rereading his two new books. We woke up refreshed and went for our first family bike ride of the season using the trailer. We biked along the river and stopped at a playground near downtown. After playing for awhile, rain looked imminent and we bike home quickly. Jason and I got a little wet, but Will stayed dry under his plastic trailer cover.
Sunday was another beautiful day, and we enjoyed it with Easter brunch with Ryan and several of his friends. We devoured the delicious food (Will was a big fan of the ham), ate way too much candy, and played out on the front steps in the sunshine.
I have no idea where Ryan found a bucket with robots on it, but, wow, was Will impressed!! The candy, Slinky, and plastic bugs inside were also met with great excitement!
The steps were a little too wide for full Slinky success, but Will was quick to adapt this new toy to his favorite pasttime. He hung the Slinky from the front gate and swung a "golf stick" at it. Slinky Golf is very tetherball like, for those of you who have not witnessed it. :-)
