Happy Easter!

We had a busy weekend with Grandpa Jim and Grandma Sandye visiting for Easter. Grandma and Grandpa were tired of sitting around the house on their visits and decided take the bull by the horns and purchased tickets for the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center Easter Egg Hunt. They had three separate egg hunts for three different age groups and other cool activities for the children.

The egg hunt for Abigail consisted of 100 other 0-2 year olds and 3oo parents and grandparents elbow to elbow picking up eggs. The eggs were filled with candy and after picking up two eggs, Abby was distracted trying to get the candy out.

Our three Amish children waiting in line to meet the Easter Bunny.

"Jackson, Easter is really the celebration of Jesus' resurrection." "Yeah, I know that is wonderful, but you need to focus on the eggs over there!"

Nothing says Easter like face painting a cat on your cheek!

The pillow pets are such a big hit that each of the kids now have two. Why can't we invent something so simple?

We spent part of Saturday swatting our carpenter bees with tennis rackets...one of Stiv's favorite pastimes...Catie got a new habitat for Easter and decided to capture the maimed bees as pets.


Catie enjoyed the kiddie Sky Hike, especially the zip line!

Father and son time on the Sky Hike ropes course at Stone Mountain. It's kind of difficult to look cool when your harness fits like a massive wedgie....
