easter/conference saturday

the saturday before easter was a busy day for our family! we got up really early to be to a primary activity at 7:20 am... i was sure out primary leaders (some of my very best friends) were totally crazy. we woke up both coleman and brooklyn (breaking the very important "never wake up sleeping children rule") and headed to the park in our pajamas. we were a little late and couldn't find the exact place they'd told us to park, but we walked around and found everyone on the nature walk. they'd planned the cutest bingo nature walk activity. the kids loved it. then they played on the equipment at the park which was a definite hit, had a cute easter lesson, ate breakfast, planted seeds in cups, AND had an easter egg hunt. cole had an awesome time and brookie was pretty happy just to be outside. ty and i got to talk to some of our greatfirends in the ward. overall, it was an incredible activity, i no longer think these wonderful primary leaders were crazy. it was a fabulous activity and the kids who went really had a good time, learned about the gospel and got to spend time with people who love them. thanks guys for the fun activity!!

after the primary activity we came home, ate a quick (really quick) breakfast and headed over to our friends, the pauls,' house to meet for another easter egg hunt. we walked from their house over to the egg hunt and waited. the hunt took less than a minute, but it was really fun! cole and brookie both really enjoyed the whole thing. brookie had a really hard time waiting to crawl out to get the eggs. she was soooo excited!!

after the easter egg hunt, we plated at the park for a few minutes then headed home. it was fun to be with friends and fun to be together as a family. the rest of the day was a bit more relaxing. the kids had naps and we watched conference. it was a really nice day!

playing at the park for the primary activity

cole riding a green rhino. it took me a minute to figure out what animal this was supposed to be. he seemed to think it was pretty great. he really loved hanging out with the bigger kids in the primary. they were so cute with him!

cole and brookie in their chariot on the way back to the car. it was a chilly day. we're so glad we have this cool stroller. they love to be in it and it worked out great for walking and keeping everyone warm.
