Catching Up: Easter

Easter was April 8, but the photos just came off the cell phone. We headed north to the Children's Museum for an egg hunt. Note how well the Easter Bunny is camouflaged:


Ellie, as usual, had a great time:

The egg hunt was fun, and interestingly done. The museum held the hunt several times over the weekend. They basically just tossed the eggs out on the snow, then let the kids skitter scross the snowpack retrieving them. They were all empty; the drill was to snag as many as you could, then dump them into a giant bin, for which you were rewarded with a goodie bag. Very efficient, though it took the kids (and us) a while to figure out why every egg they found was candy-less.

It's been so beautiful here that it seems like it's been a long, long time since we had snow on the ground, but this was only a month ago. I'll amend that – it's been beautiful until the last day or so, when it started raining almost nonstop. All soccer games were cancelled this weekend. It's just windy at the moment; Jen and I hope that it'll stay a little nice for the 5k we'd like to run this afternoon. More on that later!
