We had a fabulous Easter weekend (if you don't count nighttime). We went to Maine, and while the weather was a little cool, it was a beautiful weekend and we spent a lot of time outside. We went to the nice park right down the road from Gramma and Grampa and the kids got to climb and swing.
After lunch, we went to Wolfe's Neck State Park and had a lovely time. The girls did wonderful on the hike, despite a rough night for sleep the night before. Wolfe's Neck is a great park for hiking and has some great views of the ocean.
As usual, Nora was up to her usual antics of hugging every tree she saw. It's a great way to figure out how big a tree is!
Normally, Nora insists on being the line leader, but she was quite happy to share the honor with her Grampa. She enjoyed walking along next to him for quite awhile!
The girls resting next to a tree stump. The stump was hollow, so the girls may have also been looking for some gnomes (or a treat to leave for the gnomes).
Beth walked for most of the hike, but got tired near the end. Grampa carried our tired little girls for a good distance, and she was very happy for the ride!
The kids struggled less with sleep on Saturday night, but were still pretty tired. However, they enjoyed their Easter morning! We got the kids small Baskets - they got a jump rope, some bubbles, a game (Spot It) and a bit of candy. The most enjoyable part was watching Beth take her first bite from the chocolate bunny. She bit his face right off.
Gramma had a little egg hunt for the kids. They really enjoyed looking for the eggs, and lets face it, watching kids run around filling baskets is really cute!
Once the eggs were collected, they both made short work of opening them to explore everything that was inside. They got some more candy, some play-doh, feathers, change, shells and stickers. The day was made even better when Aunt Megan and Uncle Steve brought them each another Easter bag full of goodies!
