Easter Weekend!

HAPPY EASTER friends and family!! We had a great Easter weekend. The weather here was great and Easter was pretty hot! We tried to fully enjoy Easter activities as you can see in the pictures below. Some were a major success and some (egg dying) were not so much! The eggs did turn colors so that was good, but they were all thrown around and cracked like humpty dumpty. That is the one time I don't blame him for throwing his food, they did look like colorful balls!!


Saturday we went to the Peoria Sports Complex. It is one of the spring training facilities. They had a candy hunt in the outfield which was broken down by age so Cruz was with all kids around his own age and had fun.

Around the park there were bounce houses and little children's play theater people and carnival games and a petting zoo and best of all, pont rides!! I wasn't sure if Cruz would enjoy riding the pony, I know he loves to look at them but he's never ridden one before. As soon as he was strapped in and the pony starting moving I knew we had nothing to worry about. He had a smile from ear to ear and he didn't want to get off! Needless to say he got to go on two pony rides!!

Some of the animals in the petting zoo were a little much. They were jumping on the fence and trying to get food but Cruz still loved most of it. For those of you who know me well, Yes, I was obviously on the other side of the fence looking in!

Easter morning we had our own egg hunt in the backyard. I wasn't sure how Cruz would like it or if he'd even really get it but I was wrong. He loved it and totally got it! Of course I didn't hide too many eggs and once he found them all he wanted more. Next year I'll stock up so I can hide them all over, inside and out!

After our Easter Egg Hunt and delicious brunch we went golfing. All three of us packed all our clubs and ourselves in a golf cart and played 9 holes. It was a big change from when we tried this last time, only a month or two ago. This time Cruz was so into actually bringing his own clubs and balls onto the course and playing along with us! He's been working on his swing and he will soon be better than I am!!

Most of all we missed YOU, our friends and family! It is always hard to start your own traditions for holidays when you just want to be with family!! We had a great Easter and hope you did too!!!!

XOXO
