In his Easter bonnet...

Mommy really enjoyed having the week before Easter off!  The Easter basket was assembled and hidden, the bunny was visited, and eggs were hunted.  It was so nice to enjoy the holiday preparations together!

We went to Laurel Park Place to see the Easter Bunny.  I did a little price comparison of local bunnies, and found the photo packages to be almost identical, but Laurel Park had the added bonus of a $20 Shutterfly gift card.  Score!  Cal's reaction to the Easter Bunny was about the same as with Santa:  he was cool to look at, but sitting on his lap was akin to torture.  I didn't help that the people in front of us took forever and Cal was getting restless.  We got one good shot before the crying began.

After skipping out on the local egg hunt due to freezing temperatures, Cal and I decided to hit up the Toddler Egg Hunt at Kensington's Farm Center.  It was mostly kids 4 and under, which was nice.  They started a little late, so there were a bunch of unhappy toddlers who didn't understand why they couldn't go get eggs RIGHT NOW!  Cal managed to score 4 eggs filled with stickers before being distracted by the animals.  He happily "Ooooh"ed at the cows, pigs, horses and geese for a good half an hour.  A big change from last Easter, when he sobbed in the petting zoo barn.

(There are no pictures of the actual hunt because the point and shoot died after one picture, in which I cut off half of his body because trying to take pictures while chasing a toddler is HARD)

Trying to figure out how to cimb in there with the animals.

Still not sure if he was saying "Oooh!" or "Moo!"

Staring at the pigs.

Cal also hit up the Easter Egg Hunt at Fisk Farm with Aunt Britt and Lindsey and Reese.  I am told he had a little bit of a false start, and Aunt Britt had to duck under the ropes to grab him.  He didn't really get the purpose of the hunt, but he did enjoy playing with the eggs!

I hear the ocean!

Wait...it doesn't go in my ear?  I'll eat it then!
