We took the boys to Clarkson this morning for the Easter celebration: pancake breakfast, The Amazing Arthur, balloon animals, face painting and an egg hunt. Amazing Arthur did some magic and along with his sister made balloon animals. Then there was an Easter egg hunt.

There were a few people who overflowed their baskets while others got hardly any. Kael was at the back of the pack so by the time he got through there was nothing left but someone was nice enough to share. There was one little girl who was just devastated at not getting eggs. She was literally sobbing. Guy started to get upset because he only got 2 eggs but we reminded him that we were going to Grandma & Grandpa’s park with them later and he felt better.

We came home for a bit and tried to sneak in a quick nap, which never really works and then called Grandma to make sure we were still on. Grandpa was working but we picked up Grandma and went to the park. There were literally thousands of eggs (I believe they said over 40,000) in all just scattered all over the park. The kids were broken into groups by age and off they went. I took Kael and Jamie took Guy. Kael filled about half his basket and said he was done so we went to find Jamie & Guy who had managed to completely fill his basket while there were still eggs everywhere. On our way back to the picnic tables to empty the eggs (for recycling) we saw a few boys without eggs so Guys shared his with them. I am so proud of what a thoughtful and caring boy he is.

Since it was freezing out (36 degrees), we decided not to stick around for the games and headed to Scooters instead for hot cocoa. We dropped Grandma off and headed home to watch Bee Movie.

Overall, it was a really nice day.
