Our first morning was an early morning! The kids woke up around 4:30 am (which is 6:30 am our time) and we were able to keep them in bed/quiet for about an hour and then they were getting stir crazy. We went up to the bonus room where we were away from most of the bedrooms and the kids could play.
Maxwell loved playing Pac Man!
After everyone finally woke up (what a long morning that seemed!!) and had breakfast, Maxwell and I went with Ashlee and her family to their neighborhood egg hunt. Peter stayed at home so that Emmalyn could take a nap.
Playing on the playground while we waited for the hunt to begin. Even though the sun was shining, it was still chilly!
The ground was sopping wet...like full on swampy. My shoes/socks/pants were all wet by the time we were done. Ashlee was far more prepared in rain boots - - - I should have looked to the locals' example! :)
I think his favorite part of the cupcake was the egg ring on the top.
It's almost time to hunt!
He had a great hustle and run around like a pro.
What beautiful scenery for an egg hunt, right?
Rocking his egg ring
The mud!!
We had fun watching the girls hunt for eggs, too.
After the hunt, we all went to Cafe Rio for lunch. It was delicious!!!
It wasn't sunny anymore but it wasn't too cold so we headed to a park to burn some energy.
Maxwell connected with the girls quickly, especially Sam. He loved playing with her and she was so great with him.
He played tag for a long time!
Emmalyn tried to make friends with this little boy and kept following him around and trying to tell him what to do. She can certainly be bossy!
Time to dye Easter eggs!
We dyed with Ashlee's kids and Steph's kids too
The night Clay and Leanne came over for dinner and Ashlee's cousin Darcy and her family came too, they were in town from Utah. We hung out, watched sports, played games, and the kids had fun playing together. I tried to get Emmalyn to bed pretty early because I didn't want her to get used to the timezone since we were only there for a few days. She's really loving going up and down the stairs (makes me so nervous) and someone brought something over on a motorcycle and she can't stop talking about it. She thinks the motorcycle is so cool.
Maxwell loved watching the big kids play games with Uncle Clay
