Spring Fling



I say the word SPRING, but really it feels like WINTER! But, we still headed out to enjoy the Children's Festival on post today. It was really cute and more than what I had expected. We started with face painting, of course. The girls were number three in line this morning and were ready to paint away.

We jumped in bounce houses, got tattoos, rode the train and played several games too. They always won a little something with each game. They played putt putt, bowling and a fisbee game too. They even got to see the Chik Fil A cow which was a big hit with Lydia! She kept hugging him and going back to see him.

The girls also attended the egg hunt. I was expecting mad chaos, but both girls got about six eggs or so. Lillian and Lydia even gave away eggs to those kiddos who didn't get an egg. It was done by age group, so Lydia was able to get some eggs without being run over. And Lillian was able to run everywhere with kiddos her own age too. Lillian even got an egg with a number on it and won a special prize! Both girls did great and I was impressed with how they just gave up their eggs for others. True spirit!

We enjoyed hot dogs on the curb side with friends and after one long morning it was time to head home for nap. Now, we have another egg hunt to attend. This time we are putting it on with three of our neighbor friends and have about 150 eggs! Lots of goodies inside too and then we are giving Kansas a taste of confetti eggs!!! Should be a ton of fun! Thinking of you today Nina...you know I would have gotten you first! HA HA!! Happy Easter!

Love you all!
