Outdoorsy Fun and Happy Easter

We've been getting out and doing some hiking lately...last weekend we went to the Woodpecker Loop at Finley Wildlife Refuge for a picnic with our good friends the Willards, and yesterday we went up to Chip Ross Park--great views!

We had a very fun Easter with baskets, a small egg hunt and breakfast at home, then lunch and another egg hunt at the home of some family friends, where we've gone for the last couple of years. The kids are now sleeping soundly after much candy and excitment--in fact, Aidan just fell out of his bed a minute ago (onto a hardwood floor) and did not wake up.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Four kids in a tree at Finley: Jonah, Lauren, Ally and Aidan.

On to lunch and the next egg hunt...Ready to go...

What a blast! How fun that you leave clues to get to the Easter baskets!

And I love that tree shot! Willa wanted to sit in a tree the other day and I put her up there for a while. When we had to go she threw the biggest tantrum I've seen! There is something about that tree-sitting!
