Easter Sunday

Our Easter tradition
Saturday Easter Bunny
Sunday is for celebrating our Saviors Resurrection (and new Easter dresses)!

Booty

Brooklyn checking out her spoils!

The crew dumping their booty out to start the all day feast on candy and a few hard boiled eggs!

This is Kates basket filled with jellybeans from her eggs

Kate promptly put on her easter dress...over her jammies no less, and wore it like that for most of the day. Oh and the majority of the candy was gone by Saturday night.

Easter Bunny Day

Kate found her Easter basket first and was on the move to find the most eggs!

Shekynah found hers and wasted no time started the sugar rush.

Colby and Serph had a hard time finding their Easter baskets...the Easter bunny was so tricky this time

Serph was the last one to finally get his basket (after a few hints)

camping experience at the museum

We tried out the canoe

and tent

and had an encounter with some wild animals. (children in the photos are much more ferocious than the furry ones)

Chicago and Lake Michigan during Spring Break. Not the best time to visit the musuem (every other parent within 50 miles had the same idea) but a good time none the less.

Note to self......never leave teenagers alone for the day during spring break...every friend they know will be at your house, eating your food, running around your home and yard, riding kiddie bikes, trikes and wagons down your grass hill, thus confirming to your neighbors that you ARE crazy, wacked out Mormons with way too many kids and complete lack of control over them.

Trip to The Shedd Aquarium

This was all the kids we could talk into coming with us!
The other "teenagers" were much too mature for going to the museum.

This may look like a leafy plant but it is really a sea dragon. The kids thought these were awesome!

Colby with the Sears Tower growing out of his head

Kate was fascinated with the fish and bubble jets. She was the only one that thought it was cool.
The rest got bored and wanted to go eat. Priorities!

Masey "the traitor"

Doyle took this picture to use as blackmail...imagine the horror when I view this picture online!
One word "traitor"!
