Church Egg Hunt

We had perfect weather for our Church egg hunt yesterday! It safe to say it was actually hot, and I absolutely loved it. There is nothing better than feeling the sun beat down on your face!

 Sunday afternoons after Church the kids are always wiped out. That means they sleep for hours until we have to get up and get ready to head back to church that night. Adam and I almost always use that time as our down time, too. We normally end up falling asleep or we just sit and watch TV in peace. 

All the festivities started at 1:30 and we knew it was right during their nap but chose to ignore that and take them anyway. The weather was gorgeous, they are at the perfect age, and we knew they would have a blast! On a typical Sunday, Landon sometimes will fall asleep in the car on the way home from Church. We never let him do this but yesterday, just like I figured he would, he dozed off. Since we were going home to eat a really fast lunch, I decided it would be best for him to nap as much as possible before our busy afternoon got started. I kept the car doors open and was thankful for the awesome breeze that we had. I went inside and fixed our lunch and we had a picnic in the living room with Adalyn and watched Disney for a bit. Landon ended up sleeping about 45 minutes or so. When he woke up, he was in a great mood and we put him right back in the car to head to Church. He ate some apple slices on the way. I know from experience when he is suupppperr tired, not to even try to make him eat anything. (that's why I didn't bother to wake him and make him eat lunch when we did.) 

As soon as we got there, the kids got a balloon animal and then Adalyn chose a rainbow to get painted on her arm while Landon played at the bubble station. 

We eventually made it over to look at all the animals. We got to see two baby camels, baby chicks, pigs, bunnies, and goats. It was so neat!

Then it was time for the 2 and under egg hunt. Adam helped Landon out while Adalyn and I stood and watched with everyone else. 

He did great and they had so many cool prizes for the kids to pick up!

(the twins of the family!)

Landon managed to get a jump rope, inflatable frog, tons of candy, and bubbles!

After his egg hunt, we made our way to get some popcorn. Adalyn informed me that she needed to use the restroom so I took her inside. Well, wouldn't you know, we missed the 3 and 4 year old egg hunt. Yikes! Thankfully, she didn't realize that ( I felt bad as it was!) so I just let her go with the Kindergarten and 1st grade group. Glad I was able to avoid a "mom fail" right there. 

In addition to eggs filled with candy, they had random prizes scattered around as well. Adalyn grabed an inflatable flower, a pink ball, a frisbee and some sunglasses. She had so much fun!

Next, popcorn and a snow cone break!

I snapped this of Mrs. Patricia holding Landon. 

Landon adores her and she (and all the other ladies in the pre-school dept) are sooo good to him and all the other kids!

In addition to all the activites, everyone was able to hear Dr. Cox tell the Easter story. That is so so important for everyone to hear. People need to know Easter is not about the Easter bunny and hunting eggs, it's about recognizing Jesus' death on the cross and his resurrection. 

 I am so very thankful for our Church family!
