| Water fight with the neighbor...check out the hose vs. squirt gun |
Easter weekend started with a water fight with our neighbors. Well, a water fight between Hugh and Axel but from my assessment, it was slightly one sided. That didn't stop this playdate!
 |
| Tiny, tiny squirt gun at that. It didn't matter, he was having a blast! |
 |
| Having a blast until this moment when he realized we was definitely losing this battle and was wet and cold! HA! |
Once we were clean, dry and warm, the boys busted out the egg dying kit.
 |
| This photo shows Axel's personality so well. This is my boy and he is psyched!!! |
 |
| I was very impressed. Next year I think we will crack them all, those were my favorite. |
Easter morning...
 |
| The Easter Bunny found one clean spot in our house. He had trouble finding one basket so a couple new ones showed up this year. They are deep and hide candy very well. |
 |
| See Lucas' blanket? He wears it every night like a cape to stay cozy. Thank you Skyler for the perfect gift! |
 |
| Checking out the goodies. |
 |
| Still our Lego man. |
 |
| There is no end to Legos and now that he has been inspired by the Lego Movie, we are in trouble. :) |
 |
| Still digging. |
 |
| We are starting a quarter collection. |
 |
| My little scientist. This is a huge book all about Elements and he is in love. |
Egg Hunt. Let's put an emphasis on Egg HUNT!! The Easter Bunny stepped it up this year. All eggs were outside and actually hidden. Lucas and Axel each got a list of how many eggs they each needed to find broken out by color. Each color had one type of goodie. There were 74 eggs...let the games begin!!
 |
| They are ready! |
 |
| Lucas getting a clue from Daddy that he just ran past about 10 eggs. |
 |
| Yellow egg on the yellow hose....there's another one hidden there too which wasn't found for quite awhile. |
 |
| Even in the pine needles?!? |
 |
| Now he's getting the hang of it. |
 |
| So was Axel, he LOVED this hunt! |
 |
| Still looking...spread out guys! |
 |
| Do you see it? |
 |
| Here's another one... |
 |
| We had a blast watching the boys hunt. Pretty soon, we would be joining them to find the last 10 or so. |
 |
| Tricky Easter Bunny! |
 |
| I love this one. |
 |
| Nice work Lucas! |
 |
| Way to go Axel! |
 |
| Double checking. |
 |
| This cracked us up...the green egg is just above his right hand barely visible. It took a few minutes to find it and we were cracking up. Both boys missed it! |
 |
| Eventually the eggs were all found +/- a few. :) All in all, it was the best hunt ever! |
Later in the day, we headed to Seaside, FL. We had been to this Easter Dash before but it had been a few years.
 |
| Waiting patiently. |
 |
| Hi Dad! |
 |
| Spreading out 12,000 eggs. |
 |
| Almost ready. |
 |
| These two were definitely ready. They had a plan to run out past the first set so they wouldn't get trampled and have access to more eggs. |
 |
| They worked their way to the front of the entrance. I have no idea where they are exactly so I sent Dad to the other side of the field to track them down. |
 |
| There they are, smack in the middle of the photo right up front. |
 |
| Discussing techniques. |
 |
| Hey, there's Dad! |
 |
| And they are off! The announcer started his speech and someone jumped the gun. We thought it might have been Lucas but clearly, it was the girl in the pink. :) Either way, everyone was so happy to get things started after waiting around for 40 minutes. |
 |
| Go, go, go! |
 |
| Great spot Axel. Way to stick with your plan! |
 |
| You too Lucas, lots of eggs but watch out...the piranhas are coming. |
 |
| Almost gone! |
 |
| And done! I think it took less than 5 minutes for these kiddos to clean up. |
 |
| Showing Mom all their loot and describing their experience. |
 |
| Axel you did great! |
 |
| You both did great! HAPPY EASTER!!! |
