Finally, Easter Pics

It always seems to take a while before I manage to download photos from the camera, sort them on the computer, select a few and upload them to the site.  This year’s Easter is no exception.  With a Thursday/Friday weekend over hear celebrating Easter on Sunday is less than ideal so we took advantage of some of the Easter Bunny’s off-peak rates and took a visit on Friday morning.   Later we attended an excellent neighborhood Easter celebration complete with egg hunt and sack races.   Enjoy the pictures!

Easter

Truth be told it was Friday, not Sunday that the Easter Bunny came.  Since Sunday is a work day here we put in a special request that he visit us early and, since Dad has some Easter Bunny wasta, he was happy to comply.

The Easter Bunny hid some baskets with books and a new toy in the house and then left a series of clues scattered through the house.  Each clue was a picture inside an egg that led to the next clue until finally the basket was found.  Kai and Nora really got into it and it was a hoot to watch them decipher the trail.

When that was done we found the Easter Bunny had left some plastic eggs hidden outside.  Some had chocolate and some were filled with confetti that looked like someone had emptied the bin on an automatic 3-hole punch.  Clearly the Easter Bunny works in an office when he isn’t doing his egg gig.

Easter

I know that Easter came and went some time ago but I haven’t been updating this site recently so the pictures are somewhat backed up.  We just got back from a 5 day trip to Bangkok where Crystal presented at the NESA Spring Educators Conference.  I’ll have a couple of galleries from that trip posted once I get the pictures sorted.   Here is a gallery of what happened on the Friday after Easter (we waited for our weekend).  Enjoy!
