This Mom Just Blogs: To Easter and Beyond.....

On the 28th of March I took Drew to an Easter Egg hunt in Vadnais Heights, and this Easter Egg hunt went so much better than last years Easter Egg Hunt. Last year Drew didn't get a single egg because there were so many kids, and it just wasn't organized.

I was pretty excited about this Easter Egg hunt because they had it arranged into different age categories for the kids to look for eggs.

We found our area quickly....it was ages 4-5 and the bunny came just on time.

He was a big funny bunny, and he was up for the photo op, for sure.

Here are some photos of Drew before the Easter egg hunt He was so excited for that hunt. It was really fun for him to know that he was going to line up with a bunch of kids and go for it....He found 3 eggs, and 1 of them had a hidden treasure. We exchanged the piece of paper treasure for blow bubbles. Well, dang.... the bubbles spilled quickly after we got home.

After that we went to the the Vadnais Heights Elementary Schoolhttp://www.whitebear.k12.mn.us/VadnaisHeights/

for the school carnival. Drew played games that allowed him to get lots of free trinkets.

It was a nice day when we had the winter tires changed on the car. We sat outside and worked on our sticker book.

This little masterpiece is from a workshop that Drew went to at KidCreate studio in Woodbury. It was a discounted class, so the family only paid $15 dollars for this little gem. He LOVED it, and asked if he could go to another workshop.

On the day of the badger final four we went for a bike ride, and we wound up trecking through the Centerville Elementary School playground wooded woods....Believe it or not, John brought his bike to go down in the woods and explore. BTW, the Badgers won and made it to the Championship game.

At home the guys worked on cleaning the cars.

The lake thawed out the first week of April.

Not to mention that the night before the lake thawed out.....it was Easter. That Easter Bunny did a great job. He hid a bunch of eggs all over the place, and hid the basket behind a different chair this year.
