Easter 2015

The first public Easter Egg Hunt was a success, there was no blood, no tears and no fights/scraps/stealing or otherwise unbabyjesuslike behavior from my children.  I was amazed.  Golden Lake Park hosts an egg hunt every spring put on by the fireman and policemen.  They have it divided into three different age groups so there is no stealing from babies or using toddlers to win the big prizes.  The like stay with the like.  And while crime scene tape may be off putting to some, it really added to the mystique of the day.

 Jimmy wandered around with his basket but didn't really get it.  OH!  I forgot to mention, the crime scene tape is to keep the parents out so the kids have to do their own work.  It was great! 

 Eventually a kind officer saw him wandering and gave him a prize egg.  I think he got $0.35 in it!

 Ben was a little better over in his age group, but hasn't quite acquired that greed necessary to really dominate at these kind of things. 

 He and the neighbor gal, Sylvi are the same age so helped eachother out in the parent free zone. 

 Jules and Gus are the older neighbor boys, they did pretty well for themselves in the big kid arena.

After the big hunt in the neighborhood park our neighbor who is superwoman had an egg hunt in her yard for the kids right in the few houses around us.

I failed at getting Easter pictures this year of the boys.  It was cold outside, so we kept the eggs indoors, and after already having two Egg Hunts and the bounty there of we kept it to a minimum.  So, I let that minimal mindset flow with my photography skillz as well.

Later in the day we decided we should do something so we headed out to the Franconia Sculpture Garden.  It was pretty slick.  And weird.

 Some of the art was pretty dark and the gloominess of the day really added to the experience.

 Love perspective shots. 

 It was real struggle to get Ben off of this sculpture play gym thing.  We would think we were done and be walking away and he would turn on his jet engines and sprint back.  Even after we left, for the next two months he asked to go back to the sculpture garden just to get up on this apparatus.

 Creepy and cool right?!

Ben's outift was too perfect not to pose with the pyramid of bucks.  Great spot.
