Hippity Hoppity, Easter 2009

Our Holiday weekend started on Friday with a road trip to Cabela's. This was a somewhat last minute decision since the weather was not the greatest when we woke up that morning. So I packed up the DVD player and other activities for the car ride and we were off to Hamburg, PA which is only about an hour or so away. The kids really enjoyed themselves, especially Cody. He was very excited to see the HUGE display of animals and the aquarium. Then it was off to lunch. They do have a restaurant in the store but it was very crowded so we opted to go across the street to Taco Bell and Long John Silvers. After lunch we drove through Indiantown Gap which was really interesting to see. We climbed to the top of a mountain in the truck and the view was amazing! It was a great family day.



On Saturday it was time to paint Easter eggs. Hayley came over and we had a great time dipping eggs and putting stickers and glitter on almost 2 dozen eggs! It was a good thing Nanny was making deviled eggs for Easter dinner to use up some of those. Later that afternoon we went to see Monsters Vs. Aliens in 3D. Jimmy and Cody decided to stay home since we thought Cody would probably not sit through the movie. So Nanny, Pappy, Hannah, and I enjoyed the movie. Hannah really enjoyed herself and the fact that it was 3D was really cool. Of course the price of going to see a movie and getting a drink and popcorn is absolutely ridiculus, it was worth it just to have some time with Hannah. The girls played a little at the arcade and got to jump around in some balloons. We were entertained watching these kids play Dance Revolution, wasting their money!

On Easter Sunday we were invited to Jimmy's brother's house for lunch and an egg hunt. Nanny suprised the kids with "prize eggs" and presents for finding those eggs. It turned out that each kid got 3 eggs and 3 prizes. They had a blast, although the darn weather was not cooperating and it was pretty cold! Cody really enjoyed just hunting for eggs and putting them in his bucket. We spent the day there playing cards and talking.




It was nice to have Monday off to catch up around the house and of course laundry and grocery shopping needed done. It was a great weekend!
