Easter goodness...

Just thought I'd share some images of our Easter weekend. We had a lovely time spent, in and out of the rain, with family. Of course the kids were looking forward to a visit from the Easter Bunny too! But mostly they were glad to have time with the people they love and remember why we celebrate this occasion...

We started the long weekend by going to a favourite spot of ours... Bribie Island. We live only 20mins away, but sometimes it feels like a million miles away, because why do people visit places in their own backyard?!

I took the kids down to the water's edge just to have a look. That's right, I said..."Just to have a LOOOOOOOK!" Things never turn out as you plan do they! Because as I was ambling along, just trying to get there, they raced ahead and took initiative....

At least they had a blast! And regardless to the lack of dry clothing, I should know better to bring with me, they were all happy to just splash and enjoy the sunshine!

We celebrated Easter with family again on Saturday. The kids and their cousins participated in our annual egg hunt... (a.k.a. mad rush with the older kids being held back, just to let the younger ones, finds a couple of eggs to go in their baskets/bags!) They then bring all their goodies back to one spot where they divvy out the treats equally!

On Sunday we had a quiet day at home. The rain came down and we just spent time with each other, playing Wii games and watching old movies! On Monday there was more rain, some isolated flooding in our area, our backyard proving once again that water likes to pool there!

Tuesday was sleepover night! Tahlia went to her cousin's house and Jesse came to ours. The boys have firmly placed themselves in front of the Wii.

And you know, that's okay with me!!
