Easter!!

We had so much fun this Easter. It is great when all the kids are old enough to understand and participate in all the fun activities. We were lucky enough to have Grandpa Al and Grandma Tammy staying with us that weekend. We kept up with tradition and went to Baby Animal Days at the American West Heritage Center in Wellsville. We were a little worried about rain but it turned out to be a perfect day. The kids loved petting all the baby animals like rabbits, chickens, ducks, goats, cows, pigs, turtles, snakes, and even male honey bees and hissing cockroaches. Every year it gets bigger and better. Gabe learned how to throw an ax like a true mountain man and tried to climb a greased pole to get the money at the top. Raygen got to use her crafting skills on a pinwheel and Ridge loved jumping in "that big balloon thingy".
Easter morning was just as much fun. The kids found a note from the Easter bunny telling them to find their baskets and then go outside for the rest of their presents. They found their baskets in record time and then squealed with delight when they found baby bunnies waiting for them outside. After church we hid 100 plastic eggs and had our own easter egg hunt in the back yard. It was definately a great Easter holiday!!
