Easter Fun

We had a great Easter weekend filled with egg hunts, candy, duck feeding, and fun. The weekend started off with an Easter Egg Hunt that was sponsored by the City of Clemson. Drake had an egg hunt on Friday at school, so he was familiar with the hunt rules. He was a bit dismayed that he had to wait for the whistle rather than just start the hunt as soon as we stepped foot on the field. While Drake did not collect a golden egg, he did manage to "find" (it was on a baseball field) a good number of eggs.

Checking out the loot

The City has had a moon bounce and  moon bounce obstacle course at the event. Drake was very interested in both, but when he went in the moon bounce, he would jump a couple of times and then want to get out. We stood in line for the obstacle course and when it was his turn to go, he was all set, until it was time to get in. He then decided it was not for him, so we left and made our own fun at a different playground. After a lunch at Drake favorite bar, Goobers, and a long nap, we spent the rest of the day playing outside.

This morning started out with an Easter Egg Hunt at the church. Drake was a bit confused with their egg choice because they were not made of plastic and did not have treats inside. David and I did have a nice lunch of egg salad sandwiches from the 10 eggs that he collected. Drake also decided that today was a good day for his first communion. In the Episcopal church, any baptised person can take communion and it generally s up to the parents as to when their child starts receiving. I guess that Drake had his hand opened so rather than receiving a blessing, he received bread.

After church we went home a Drake found his Easter basket in the bench hiding place that the Easter Bunny had selected. The Easter Bunny brought Drake some Play Doh, bubble bath, a dinosaur bubble maker, a car, and a watering can (he loves to water plants). We then had one last Easter Egg Hunt around our living room after an early morning rain shower. Before lunch, we also headed to the Garden to feed some ducks and run off a bit of the chocolate that had been consumed.

He would not put the Hershey kiss down on eat it...
