Happy Easter! Give your bunnies lots of hugs! We’ve been BUSY! On Thursday, Edison had a big Shorecrest track meet - doing well at the shot put and finishing second in the discus. Friday I went to visit my dad in the hospital - he is there recovering from pneumonia. On Saturday, I helped host the Sheridan Beach Egg Hunt on a stunner of a day with a few other awesome neighbors. Jenna did a great job running the show and Monica made some incredible cookies and fruit cups and Melinda rallied the SC girls waterpolo team to do the eggs and all the fun kid stuff that morning. It was fun to see the big turnout, the happy kiddos, and have an event that marks the beginning of everyone coming outside again after the long winter. Charlotte had a lacrosse game and Edison passed the written portion of the drivers test with a 98%!
We went to the cabin the rest of the day. This morning, instead of Easter baskets, I made Easter goody bags. And because I forgot the plastic eggs at home, the kids just opened the big packs of jelly beans, etc. and sorted them out evenly into ziplocks. It was SO MUCH EASIER than baskets and the kids gave it a thumbs up - a new tradition is born! After an early drive home, I was able to enjoy a sunny swim in the pool before we headed over to Karen and Ivan's for our family Easter dinner. It was a a beautiful day and so fun to see everyone and catch up. Reed and Alec even decided to jump in the lake! And then quickly into the hot tub! LOL!
