Easter Time 2015
Easter snicked up on us. It was in early April, but the weather was nice and warm. Keegan’s Spring Break was the week before, and he enjoyed a YMCA camp. Despite being really resistant to the idea, he ended up really enjoying it. He especially liked the trip to the Build A Bear workshop, where he got to build his own stuffed teddy bear. I was a little surprised he was be into it, but after all, he is a huge fan of stuffed animals, and at last count, he sleeps with 7/8 ones every night.
We did not planned too much, but we started the Easter weekend with a trip to Sky High Sports, a huge indoor trampoline park with our neighbor Kelton. It was fun: it is a large warehouse filled with trampolines, and the kids, and adults, can bounce around free form, or play a mean game of dodgeball or even jump in a pit filled with foam. What made it even better is that we were there very early, so they had the whole place to themselves for a while.
When we got home, I took a nice nap and then we got ready to paint our Easter eggs. This year we got a Star Wars set. I always wonder why we even bother. It takes a while to set up, and he is finished in a few minutes…and of course, he does not eat the eggs. Anyway, he had fun.
On Easter morning, we set them up in a nice display.
The day, of course started super early, with the annual Easter Eggs Hunt in the yard, meaning we got up before 6 to scatter the eggs around, without even bothering hiding them (no time). Keegan knows that we are the Easter bunny, so he now makes requests! He still does enjoy the hunt, though, so here we go.
As always we went a bit overboard…but he was really happy, and really enjoyed all his candy.
Keegan and Matt, prepared a delicious breakfast…helping with a meal was part of Keegan’s homework, and as you can see, he is really excited about it.
The end results were great, though, and I enjoyed our delicious brunch, with eggs, potatoes and chocolate chips pancakes. Yum.
Keegan’s favorite, however, was the awesome Lindtt chocolate bunny, he carefully chose as his big treat. It was delicious!
In the afternoon, we went to visit Keegan’s cousins, Jimmy and Kirana, that had just arrived in San Diego for a few days vacation. Kirana prepared a really fun treasure hunt for Keegan that led to a very cute outfit. What a nice idea! The kids played in the pool and then we relaxed at the hotel, enjoying the free appetizers.
Keegan was excited about seeing his cousins, and he spent Monday and Wednesday afternoon with them at the hotel, playing and swimming in the pool. This was great for me too, since I got some ME-time.
Matt prepared a delicious dinner on Tuesday night, and we all had a good time, especially the kids.
the Rubik’s cube is back!
Our dinner experiment was the chocolate covered ice cream in the shape of the Millennium Falcon. It looked great, but the chocolate cover was so thick it made it hard to eat. Well, it was our first attempt, and we had back up dessert.
On the last night of their stay, we went to eat some unhealthy food at Red Robin and we got a final cousins’ shot. Everyone was a little sad, but we the kids definitively had a fun time together. See you soon!
