Weekend Fun - Part 1

Friday

We drove over to my Dad's house to spend Easter weekend.

While dinner was being put together, Amelia and Daddy played with some bocce balls in the yard:



The family enjoying a delicious salmon dinner:


Amelia playing on Grandma's piano. It's one of her favorite things to do there! But she calls it "singing" when she plays the piano.


Saturday

In the morning, there was an awesome Easter egg hunt at my old church.

Amelia got her face painted. You won't see this flower in any other picture, because she smeared it so bad we had to wash it off.


Then we walked up to the hill to choose our spot:


As you can see from her hair, it was rather windy:


Waiting (not so patiently) for the official start:


Checking out the eggs, forming a strategy:


She was actually really good at it!

Mommy would help her locate the eggs:


Amelia would pick them up and try to open them:


Mommy would encourage her to put them in the basket and keep looking!


Enjoying some of her loot:


Getting a congratulatory hug from Daddy:

Afterwards, Amelia and Daddy played some games:


And then Amelia and Mommy worked on some crafts:



It was a fun event... there was food, an awesome band (with Grandpa on trombone), and a puppet show as well.

Amelia and her cousins played on this play area. She and her same-age cousin were both so on the move, that this is one of the best shots I got of them together!


I was SO proud of Amelia. She marched over to this rope ladder and climbed all the way to the top with NO assistance! I was there to catch the first time, just in case, but she climbed to the top at least 4 times!


After a long afternoon nap, we headed down to Cincinnati to do some shopping at IKEA.

When we got back, Amelia saw her good buddy-- Grandpa's neighbor-dog, Midnight. She loves that dog!!


He's so active and silly.... it really makes her laugh!
