Catching Up-- Easter and Alpine Trip

Easter

The past couple of Easters Scotty was able to go on a few Easter egg hunts each year. Well, living here in Casa Grande, I hadn't really heard of any. So, I asked some of the moms that came to play group at the park if they would be interested in doing one for play group.
We made the kids construction paper bunny ears.

Then they were ready to run off into the field to hunt the eggs.

After clearing the field of eggs, they sat in a group on the grass and started checking out their goods and filling up on candy.

On Easter we were able to go to dinner at Grandma Palmer's house. She gave each of the kids a Easter gift. Scotty was so excited about his Batman toys!

Scotty was most excited about getting to hunt for Easter eggs with his cousin Rigley.

All the grandkids sat with Grandma Palmer, Kerry, and Cierra for a picture.

Alpine

In May we were able to go visit my parents in Alpine again. The weather was beautiful and we really enjoyed our time there. Both Scotty and Korbin had fun with Grandma and Grandpa Hansen.

Daddy and Korbin loving the pines!

We went for a little hike to a small lake/pond near the girls camp. It was great to get some exercise in the cooler weather.

We had fun trying to skip rocks on the water. I don't think any of us were able to get any more than 3 skips but it was still fun.

We also took walks around the camp, cooked hot dogs and marshmallows over the fire, watched the funny little chipmunks and the various kinds of birds, and just sat around enjoying the weather and nature. It was wonderful!!
