Easter Festivities!!!

On Monday before Easter we did the annual egg coloring. Since we were going to be out of town the Easter bunny came to our house early this year. The girls wanted to make sure that they left out the eggs so that the Bunny could hide them for them. The Easter Bunny was pretty tricky and it took us 2 days to finally find the last hidden egg. Thank goodness it hadn't gotten to stincky.

The Easter bunny only did motor scooters this year. Brilynn and Maycie had been asking for them but were disappointed when they got the scooters and not a lot of the other things they are used to getting for Easter. . It's a no-win situation!!!

On Friday we packed the car and headed down to my sisters in Kanab for the baby blessing. On the way there we stopped at the Cheese factory in Beaver. We love to buy the fresh "squeeky cheese" and the twins were due for a break. Brilynn came up with her own joke while we were there, Why do mice squeek? Because they eat squeeky cheese. Haha!!!!

Since my sister is living in a tiny rental until they can close on their house, we opted to stay in a hotel instead. Brilynn and Maycie took every opportunity to swim in the pool and were quite upset when it was time to leave "the apartment"

So on our way into Kanab we saw a sign for a Best Friends Animal Santuary. When I asked my sister she said she didn't know anything about it. We decided that it would be fun to take the kids on the free tour. So after switching all the carseats over to the 18 passenger tour van, we were on our way to see the Best Friends Sanctuary. I really don't know how or why they even call it a tour. It was the most boring 45 minutes of our whole trip. It is basically an outdoor animal shelter. They drove us around the dog house, then around the cat house, next we stopped in front of the bird house for a few minutes, and then drove by 3 horses in a field. The last thing we saw was the pet cemetary. Brilynn and Maycie were so bored out of their minds and all Maycie could say was "When are we going to see the bears." Needless to say we could have gone without the whole tour. Once I realized that we were going in a circle and that we wouldn't be going back the way we came on the tour I explained to Brilynn that we were almost done and that we didn't have to go back the way we had came. Brilynn's response was "Good, so we don't have to see all that stuff again." We all had a good laugh about the tour and I can promise that nobody in our group will ever be returning to the Best Friends Sanctuary.

After the lovely tour we went back and my mom did an egg hunt for all the kids. Brilynn and Maycie had their baskets completely overflowing with eggs and were very kind to share with those who didn't have as many.

Since we had to be out of the hotel I decided to send Brilynn and Maycie to church with my sister while we finished getting ready and packed the car. Since the twins weren't ready at that time, I wasn't able to get a picture of all four girls in their Easter dresses. We may have to do some posed pix next time they wear them to church. Overnall we had an excellent Easter weekend and look forward to visiting Kanab again.
