Easter weekend

It was the first gorgeous weekend of the year.  After months of cold, rainy, and windy weather, were so thankful for SUN!  Oliver and I went to the park Saturday while Tim was at work.  We went down the slide a few times, and a few other structures, but eventually made our way over to the sandbox.
 

 

He LOOOOOVES getting dirty.  And playing with the bulldozers.  And excavators.  He is such a boy.

We picked up Tim from work and headed over to use a Groupon at Alexa's Cafe in Swanson's Nursery.  I have mentioned Swanson's numerous times - this time we went to visit the baby chicks!  Our fearless boy loved putting his finger in the cage to feel how soft they were.

Easter Sunday - cannot believe it's been a year since this foolishness...

       

This year, both Oliver and Chelsea refused to wear bunny ears.  We went down to my Dad and Jana's house for Easter egg hunt and BBQ (the tradional Easter meal :-) ).  Oliver got the hang of picking up the eggs right away.  Chelsea was hot on his trail.

 

In the eggs were marshmallow Peeps! Oliver has had a pretty clean diet of mostly organic food, nothing too processed, and sweets on occasion (he loves ice cream something fierce). So when he opened the egg, he wasn't aware it was something to eat until about half an hour later when he took a small bite on its tail. Then another small bite. And then he SHOVED the rest of it in his mouth! He ate another one just after this one... he was on his way to finding a third when we moved his basket full of the eggs.

 

One little video of the two with eggs and bubbles going.  We all had a wonderful time!  I know Oliver did - he fell asleep pretty quickly on the way home.
