Easter Fun Monkeyshines

Zach has begun spelling lately, so I went out and bought a pack of poster letters for us to work together with. We were in the midst of our Easter preparations, when I looked down at the floor and Zach had spelled "fun" - hopefully this was commentary on his part.
We went over to McKinley Park on Saturday for the big egg-hunt being held there. Although the moon-walk was great fun, the kids were mostly just glad to get back on the swings.

Both kids showed extraordinary patience waiting for the hunt to start. Zach ran on the grass and rolled down the hill.

He even found a friend to climb a tree with.
























At last all the eggs were "hidden" in plain sight on the grass, and it was time to start!

Miranda supervises the dying of the eggs (Zach was in charge of putting the stickers on the eggs)



After dying our eggs, it was time to invent games to play with them - after all we play with our food here in the good ole' US of A!

Miranda poses with her Easter Basket - she looked everywhere, but the only sign of the Easter Bunny was the half eated carrot we left out for him.




















Zach stacks blocks in imitation of his Leapfrog video.

Miranda creates a living space for her Polly Pockets.

All in all, it was a fantastic holiday weekend - many good memories were created and a good time was had by all! Keep tuning in for more Monkeyshines.
