Easter Egg-sperience

Meredith has been so excited all year to get to go back to "Aunt Katie's church" to go to their really great Easter celebration, and Saturday was the big day!

We started off the day with a visit to the Petting Zoo. Meredith was thrilled. Jillian was a tiny bit terrified.

Jillian was excited outside of the pin, but once we were in, she found herself very attached to her Gigi's legs.

No fear here - A llama!
The bunnies were more Jillian's speed - she warmed up to them at least to pet them.

Next up was the Easter Egg hunt!

Jillian loved being choosy with the colors...


...and she also had fun "shopping"- she would open them to make sure what was inside was to her liking.
Meredith was a little quicker with her hunting!

Back inside, we found the Easter Bunny and Meredith did not hesitate to go say hello!
Landon was also excited to see him, but would not get any closer than this. Not that Jillian has any room to talk since, as you can tell, she is nowhere near the bunny - she happened to be grasping onto me for dear-life.

There were also lots of fun games, face painting (which was the thing Meredith was most excited for!) and prizes!

Meredith ran into to get "paint faced" and carefully chose a ladybug (to support her team and their game we would run off to later) and then, I guess a bunny. I had snuck to another table tat that point to help Jillian get a bunny on her cheek. Aunt Katie told her that she had a cute flower, to which Meredith teared up, and told her "it's a bunny!" Obviously there was a communication error (or really terrible art!) Luckily, the "bunny" was well wiped off by the time we got to a mirror for her to realize the mistake.
Such fun prizes! The biggest ones were from a very skilled hole-in-one!
Jillian won lots too!
Such a fun day!

Before we headed home, we did some bouncing in the bounce houses then hit the "Easter Path" that had interactive rooms that told the Easter story - it was really amazing and was great for the kids. Now the count-down is on until next year!
