Peace, Love & The Indian Lakes Easter Egg Hunt

Today turned out fantastic even though I woke up this morning feeling a little bit under the weather. I knew that today was the Easter egg hunt in Grandma & Grandaddy's neighborhood so I was super excited to get another chance to search for the plastic eggs with fun prizes inside.

Before we could go to the Easter egg hunt I had to try on another one of my new hats, along with one of the adorable tank-tops that Grandma got me for this summer.

When Mommy brought out the camera I started acting shy and hid behind Daddy's leg. Thankfully my Mommy is pretty patient when it comes to getting a good photo!

Of course not every photo Mommy captures is perfect!

Me giving Izzy a hug... she is always in need of lots of loving!

Izzy laying down getting loving from Daddy - check out the expression on my face... priceless!

Me & Mommy at Clovis Park in the Indian Lakes subdivision, headed to where they hid the Easter eggs!

Searching around the playground for some Easter eggs. Mommy and Daddy tried to point some out for me but everytime they did another kid would pick it up before I could get there, even if it was just at my feet.... these kiddos were quick!

Me & my silly faces - I think I was trying a gummy candy from one of my eggs but I could be wrong.

Getting my face painted for the first time ever! They didn't really paint my face, they painted a foam stamp and then stamped my face but the outcome was the same I guess.

Me & my pink and purple butterfly stamp!
If only Mommy & Daddy had known how hard it would be to get the butterfly off of my face when they took this picture!!

Mommy & Grandaddy talking with me climbing the bars in the background (it looks like I'm doing it myself but don't worry Grandma was right there behind the tree).

Me climbing on the playset.

Having a blast running around on the playset.

Daddy & I tried our hand at the egg toss but we cracked the egg pretty quickly so we had an impromtu learning opportunity instead. Here Daddy is explaining the different parts of the egg and I'm looking intently at the yellow goo that he is saying could have been a chicken.

Trying to climb up the firemans pole.

A close-up that Grandaddy caught as I ran by him.

Looking over at Grandaddy while trying to get Grandma to follow me through the playset.

Getting ready to go across the swinging bridge.

Playing with Grandma on the bars.

Asking Grandma for some more water by signing "more".

Checking out one of the Easter eggs from my basket when I got back to Grandma & Grandaddy's house.


I had a great time at the 1st Annual Indian Lakes Easter Egg Hunt but I think I'm going to have to practice before next year. These kids were serious about finding the most Easter eggs and they were too quick for me! Guess we will have to wait and see how it all goes down next year!

Peace, love & the Indian Lakes Easter egg hunt,

Peace, Love & The George Bush Library Easter Egg Hunt

This morning Mommy, Daddy and I went to the George Bush Library for their annual Easter Egg Hunt. The festivities got off to a great start when the Easter Bunny rode up on the ladder truck! Their were tons of people at the library including some friends of mine from the fire department. I don't remember much about Easter last year so it was fun to run around with other kids my age and collect eggs, play games, and get to see the Easter Bunny.

Me & my bumblebee basket waiting with the other kids & their parents at the 0-3 year old field.

Daddy & me waiting

The 0-3 month field before the Easter Egg Hunt started.

Me picking up eggs while Daddy looks on.

Kevin & his son Ty. Kevins works with Daddy at the fire department.

Mommy showing me that there are prizes inside the eggs I picked up.

Post Easter Egg Hunt smiles.

Daddy showing me how to open the eggs I found.

Getting a ride on Daddy's shoulders.

Taking pictures in the flowers directly in front of George Bush Library - silly smiles.

Climbing on an artists rendition of the Berlin Wall (I really just wanted to see a horsey up close).

Saying & signing horsey.

Sneaking around the sculpture (notice Ty sitting on the barrier in the background).

Ty coming over to shake my hand.

I had never shook anyones hand before so I wasn't really sure what to do, so we ended up with a kind of cross between a high five and holding hands.

Me following after Ty as he went off to explore.

Off exploring on my own again.

Stopping to smell a flower in the George Bush Library Garden.

Me & my bumblebee basket pondering where more eggs might be hidden.

Me taking a different path through the gardens than my parents.

Stopping on the bridge in the gardens to check for fishies.

Climbing up on the bridge for a better look around.

Heading down the path to explore.

Stopping to tell Mommy & Daddy to hurry up.

Taking a rest on a park bench just down from the gravesite of the Bush's daughter.

Running to give Daddy a hug (the gravesite for the Bush's to the left of the picture).

Still running to Daddy...

Super big hug for Daddy!

Heading back down the path towards the truck with Mommy.

After the George Bush Library we headed home for some lunch, a nap and then later ventured out to run some errands.

After our errands, Daddy & I colored on the floor while Mommy made dinner. It's hard to tell but in the picture I am trying to trace Izzy's paw.

Back to coloring on my own.

Daddy & his "It's been one of those days" looks. Don't worry the diaper was clean!

Today was super busy but totally fantastic. I really enjoyed the Easter Egg Hunt & can't wait for tomorrows, now that I know whats going on and what I'm supposed to do. Bring on the eggs!

Peace, love & the George Bush Library Easter Egg Hunt,
