Easter

Last Saturday we took Connor to his first egg hunt. He was a bit clueless as to what he was supposed to do, but eventually caught on.
My spaceship is a tad small
Look at all these bright eggs
Connor would pick up one egg, put it in his basket, take it out of his basket and put it back on the grass and then repeat. We picked up a few eggs and placed them in his basket and he continued to pick up the same egg and put it back on the grass. That was until he opened up an egg and sampled what was inside.
Woah this stuff tastes good
Afterwards we went home and took a nap. After the nap we went over to grandma and grandpa O's house and played with the cousins. I had picked up this water snake the day before and had it in my car. The girls wanted to be sprayed with the hose and I offered the snake to play with. It was great for the 5-10 minutes before it popped. Nobody was touching it or near it when it popped, it just let loose. Oh well-It was a fun toy while it lasted.
It was really cold out, but I played for a little bit too
Then on Easter Sunday we had lunch with my family and then dinner with Peter's family. Connor's basket had some jelly beans and peeps and a chocolate bunny. Behind it was a cool bucket full of sand toys and some sidewalk chalk. The bucket was almost the perfect size to sit in.
That brings us to today. We went to the Wild Animal Park again. Tomorrow is the last day to see the butterflies so we needed to go see them one more time before they leave. Yesterday was very rainy and this morning was a bit rainy too which meant almost no crowds. We parked in the front row, right across from the entrance and walked right in. We saw the butterflies first. Peter had a friend land on his hat and I got one on my jacket as we were exiting.
Afterward we went on a tram ride. Then it started to rain a bit and we were cold so it was a good time to call it quits.

I love that Conner sits in things, Will does that too! It's so funny when they try to sit in things that are too small :) It looks like you had a great Easter!
