Lily's Jumps
I love how kids' minds work.
They have such great imaginations!
And my kids seem to have them in abundance sometimes..... =)
The other day, Lily was jumping around the backyard.
Then she came up to me and was looking very sad.
She told me she had lost her jumps.
Yes, lost her jumps.
They were somewhere in the backyard.
I told her to go find them.
She said she did, but they kept jumping away from her.
What were we going to do?!?!?
She was no longer able to jump.
So I did the only thing I could do.
I gave her a net to go catch them.
She was cracking me up!
She ran all over the backyard trying to catch her jumps.
She was really into it too.

She would catch them, but they would always get away.
This went on for awhile. =)
We have very few boring days around here.

Easter
Zach, Riley, and Lily woke up early Easter morning to hunt for eggs that the Easter Bunny left for them.
Then they looked in their baskets to see what else the Easter Bunny left.
Then we got all dressed up for Church.

Egg Hunts!
Today, we went to two Easter egg hunts!
The first one was at the zoo.
We went with Jeff's brothers and their children.
Zach, Riley, and Lily were excited to go with their cousins!
The zoo has an egg hunt every year where you look for these big wooden eggs throughout the zoo:
While you are looking for and counting them, the kids got to go to candy stations to collect candy.
Then at the end you tell the prize station how many eggs you found. 
Our second egg hunt was at Jeff's parent's house.

While we looked for eggs, we looked at all of the animals and took pictures with the statues. ;-)
Then at the end you tell the prize station how many eggs you found.Zach and his cousin Madi were so excited to find and count the eggs.
They counted 43.
They did really good job counting because they were close.
There were 48 throughout the whole zoo!
(and we didn't actually go through the whole zoo......)
Their prizes were duck or bunny masks!
Our second egg hunt was at Jeff's parent's house.The kids had fun running all over the backyard looking for eggs.
Now the kids are going to be experts at finding eggs Easter morning!
