Easter Sunday

Yesterday we enjoyed a lovely morning rooting through our family Easter basket, going to church and coming home for (gluten-free)french toast and peameal bacon.



Here are the kids with some fun family spring things that they found in the Easter Basket.





The Baby loves to entertain.




ALL OF THE KIDS!




Me and my baby brother.



The Princess found a fun game of jumpy bunnies in the Easter Basket.



Here she is, waiting for it to jump.




Surprised when it did jump.




And happy when she caught it.

                                                  This is another fun gift that we played with.



BUBBLES!

                                                          Is there a kid doesn't love them?


They are fun to take pictures of.



And pop too...



                                We have a robin family happening right outside our back window!
    It's was so exciting to see the parents building the nest, and now watching them keep their little eggs safe                                                                            and warm.



WHAT A CUTIE!

     Even though we had only been at the nature center the day before, we just had to go back again!  It was a lot less busy than the day before. It was closer to what we are used too... but we still saw more                                                        people there than we are used to.
                                                   And I took just about as many photos!

It looks like the beavers had nibbled on this tree a while ago.



It's interesting how this tree is growing basically out of nothing!




A beautiful view!





More fresh beaver markings!




Fascinating!





Always on the look out.



Curling bark.



Water and friends!



Pussy willow.



Trillium bud.

      We've been to the nature area so many times, but we have never gotten farther than our usual frog spot.
                                   This season I am determined to explore every path they have. 
                                           Everytime I go there I find something new to see.

Fence.





Puffs.





This leaf has been holding on all winter!
Don't let go now.
Soon you'll have friends.





Moss



Budding!



Ferns.

After the nature area we had to come home to have dinner with our friends, and have our EASTER EGG HUNT! My friend and I played the Easter Bunny and made a challenging search for the kids, who assured                                          us that they were ready for the "expert level hunt".
                                         Our favourite hiding spot was up in the bird feeder.



The hunt begins!




The cutie with an empty basket.



Did he find something?



Is there and egg in there?



Showing off his find.



Flying!




Fun.



Happy Easter!
