Conference weekend both Braxton & Brandon were here at the same time which rarely happens, so we took advantage of the opportunity to do all our fun Easter activities this weekend instead. I promised Braxton I'd take him to an Easter Egg hunt down here since he would be with his dad on Easter in Cedar, so we started out the day on Saturday with the Bloomington Walmart egg hunt which took all of 10.6 seconds, both Braxton & Brandon brought in a haul! Afterwards, we loaded up the car, stopped for some KFC, and headed to Red Cliffs for our Easter picinic. It was a chilly, rainy day but we had a great time hiking and playing on the rocks. Braxton was so muddy and wet at the end of the day, he had to ride home with just his underwear on, I was proud of him getting so dirty and having fun doing everything Brandon did. Brandon is his idol! :)
After showers and naps, we had dinner & spent 2 hrs at Pirate Island Pizza. It's amazing the TIME & MONEY that can be spent there without realizing it, but the kids had fun so I suppose every now & then it's worth it. We came home and colored easter eggs and went to bed.... We enjoyed watching conference on Sunday. How blessed we are to have such great leaders to guide, inspire, & remind us of the important things in life. I think we just all loved being in our jammies until noon more than anything! I also got everyone's 72 hr packs all rotated out & ready for the summer season. Braxton was quite excited to eat the food out of his that needed to be rotated.
In between sessions, we painted easter sugar cookies which was always one of my favorite Easter traditions growing up, and was a first for Brandon this year.
The Easter Bunny, however, waited to come the following weekend. How do you explain 2 consecutive w.end bunny visits to a 5 year old???
