What We Did for Our Easter Break

We spent several days at my inlaws home for a relaxing Easter break. The kids were running around like whirling dervishes because they had their cousin to play with. We adult had fun watching and capturing it all on film. Easter egg hunting at church.

The spoils of the Easter egg hunt.

Easter egg hunting outside at Grandpa and Grandma's house. Easter egg hunts in the Pacific Northwest are never warm and dry. They are wet, cold and drizzly. Hence, the raincoats and a grumpy two year old. I asked him to smile, and he responded, "I can't." He didn't like wearing the rubber boots.

Forget the spoils of the baskets, having a cousin to play flashlights with was much more fun. Grandpa needs to buy more batteries, but that is beside the point.

JM got a late birthday present of these fun moon shoes. They are actually quite fun as you can see by the video. I just think videos like this are funny because at the end, first he's there, then he's gone.

Then we had the two preschoolers trying to get in on that action, and it was funny watching them team up and get into all sorts of mischief. BH doesn't have socks on, she can't figure out the velcro, but boy, they worked on it for awhile.

Now let me set up the final video. These two were just going round and round and round for three days straight. They loved playing with each other, and it was non stop. On Monday morning, suddenly BH runs into the room, pulls his shirt collar down as far as he can and announces, "I am Superman!" We were laughing pretty hard. It was also quite spontaneous. We are more of a Spiderman kind of superhero in our house. We don't watch Superman or anything, so for him to do this, he picked it up from some little reference long ago, and just used it.

Anyway, because kids tend to repeat fun things over and over, I tried to get him to do it again. It didn't work. All I got was video of kids whizzing by and being silly. It was pretty hilarious.
