Its not quite Bunny Day yet but this past weekend we spent some family time with the kids going to several bunny events with them. We started off our morning with a city sponsored egg hunt over by the airport, David took Freyja to her side of the field and I kept Jaxon on the crawler/new walker side. Freyja scored about 10eggs all by herself, daddy waited on the sidelines cheering her on as she raced through the mad house of 3/4 year olds to score eggs. Jaxon and I took the more laid back approach, found a couple of eggs close together and once his little hands were full we trekked through the egg crazed parents to the crazy 3/4 year olds to find daddy and sister. When we got home Freyja got the contents of ALL the eggs but Jaxon got the eggs to play with.
After being refueled with a quick lunch we raced off to Silverhill, Alabama (our side of Mobile, Loxley exit for those of you familiar with the area) to Wales West RV Park to check out the "Cottontail Express". They have a VERY nice garden rail system set up that takes the kids on a two mile trek around their grounds. On the other side of their "swimmin hole" is a workshop set up for the Easter Bunny (or Santa or whoever else might be visiting) and they get to make a seasonal craft (bunny ears) and see the surprise guest and get pictures taken. They also had a small egg hunt set up in the back of the workshop, kids could hunt all the eggs they wanted but were only allowed to take home five each. Yay for little brothers because that meant Freyja got ten! At the end of the ride the kids were invited to come up and blow the whistle, of course Freyja grabbed daddy's hand and hauled butt to the front to blow it while Jax and I ran from the front since he really didn't care for the loud noise. And as customary, we did pick up one souvenier, Freyja got a pink conductors cap :)
And then Sunday we headed up to the park with some of our friends (of which Freyja and Jaxon are the youngest) and spent a fun filled cool morning hunting eggs, picnicing, feeding squirrels, chatting and of course playing! It was the kids job to find all the eggs then the parents divied them up evenly as to be fair. Though honestly Freyja holds her own quite nicely! She can race and collect as good as the big kids!
Over all I think the kids had a great pre-bunny day weekend. I'm gonna be hard pressed to find anything quite this fun for next weekend for the big day! I just hope an Easter basket full of prizes will suffice! We wish you all a happy Easter next weekend, may yours be as fun as the weekend we've just had!!
