Dinosaur and Easter Day Fun

This Easter, we did not go crazy with six different Easter egg hunts.  Kayla did not only pick out the pink Easter eggs.  No, we had one Easter egg hunt at school, one with the Social Butterfly Group (our mommy’s group) and one on Easter day, which was nice (no throwing away tons of eggs and candy.)

Easter weekend, the kids and I drove down to Glen Rose to meet up with the Schneider cousins and venture to Dinosaur World.  What started off as a bad trip, ended in a great time.  We arrived to the hotel only to find that I left my credit card at home.  On top of that, I used my cash on hand to fill up my car (and it took almost all my cash, $97.00…ouch). My loving husband came to the rescue.  He paid for the hotel over the phone.  With three hours to spare until the cousins arrived, the kids and I were stuck.  No cash, means no going anywhere.  So, we went swimming and yes it was COLD!!! (but we had fun).

Once the rest of the Schneider clan arrived, I was given some cash (thank you Josh) and we went to Dinosaur World with the kids.  They had a blast.  Jonah and Kayla were gone, running as fast as they could seeing who could get to the next dinosaur the fastest.  Christian and Meredith lagged behind with Monda and I .

 

The next morning, Easter.  Unfortunately, we did not make it to church.  I was a bit disappointed but that is part of life and having family live far away.  As the kids slept the night before, I snuck into the bathroom to put together the Easter baskets.  The kids had a nice surprise when it was time to take a bath the next morning.  Once we were all dressed, the Schneider clan drove to Hico, Texas to spend Easter with Grandma and Mimi. 

 

Overall, a GREAT weekend (once I had cash in hand).  Family, the good food and seeing the smiles where just a few of the things that made the drive and being away from Jon worth it.

 

Sorry for all the pictures.  I think between Monda and I, we took over 600 photos.  WOW! and there were SO many good ones.
