More Easter Fun

The Sunday before Easter we went to the Toddlers egg hunt at church.  These cuties were ready for the hunt.  It had rained the night before so it was yucky outside, but they didn't care that they had to hunt them inside.  

 Evan won the boy prize for the most eggs.  He was the only boy, so I guess that still counts!

 The Saturday before Easter we went to Unicoi State Park for their Easter egg hunt.  We went to this one in 2011 when Ellie was obsessed with the Easter bunny.

Rest, Set, Go!

She got her own Chihuahua too!

After lunch & a visit to Naw's we stopped at Grandmother & Granddaddy's for an egg hunt.  It had started sprinkling, so we had another inside egg hunt.  Granddaddy put some money in the eggs and they were off.  

Charlotte found the Prize egg in grandmother's chair.

The kids really understood the Easter story this year and constantly talks about Jesus and the cross and then coming back to life.  We made Resurrection Rolls for a treat and they really enjoyed it.  When they opened it up and the marshmallow was gone they were a little upset, but once we told them it was just like Jesus they understood and was happy he was alive.  We just hope and pray they are always so excited about Jesus!

The Rest of the Story

I never finished posting all the pictures from our Orlando trip.  After we did Magic Kingdom on that Sunday, Matthew worked the rest of the week.  The kids and I just stayed at the campground and played.  There were 4 different playground at the campground, so we would just go and play at one until we got bored then go to the next one.  

We usually did some school work, like writing our letters and numbers.  

When daddy would get home we would eat and then do something fun.  One night we went and got our yummy Dole Whip at the Polynesian.  Then watched the Water Parade from the campground marina.  The Water Parade came by every night at 9:45 and we could hear the music all the way to our camper.  The first night we didn't know what in the world it was.  We were so scared it was going to wake them up, but it never did.  

Another night we ate at my favorite - Uno Chicago Grill!  Evan loves their pepperoni and broccoli deep dish pizza.  We went to Downtown Disney so they could buy some souvenirs with their birthday money from Naw.  We made them wait until the end of the trip to pick their presents.  

They wanted to go back to the campfire so they could see Dale this time around.  

 Here he is.  

 And this is what we looked like most of the week.  Mom and her three little mouseketeers.  

Happy Easter

Magic Kingdom

On that Sunday we went to their favorite park - Magic Kingdom.  It ended up being the coldest day we were there.  I don't think it got above 50 degrees.  We stayed in our coats all day long.  We got to the gate during the open show and entered with the rest of the crowd.  

 We headed to Fantasyland and got a fast pass for Peter Pan and then went to the new Enchanted Tales with Belle.  Since it is a new attraction we had about a 25 minute wait.  We took pictures with the new castle in the background.  

 We finally made it inside Belle & Maurice's cottage.  Inside we got to see Belle and Ellie even got to play Mrs. Potts in the story.  

Outside the new Gaston's Tavern

 we ran into the real Gaston

The new Under the Sea ride was the girls new favorite ride.  

Trying on some new hats while we were waiting on some rides

 We rode all our favorite rides and got to see lots of characters.  You can tell the kids are Disney World pros because Ellie was our Fast Pass assistance.  She knew which rides took the Fast Pass.  

We chose Sunday to go to Magic Kingdom since it was late night magic hours.  We love getting to stay in the park and having no lines for the rides.  After seeing the Princesses we headed to see Mickey's PhilharMagic one more time.  As the movie was starting Charlotte cough and said she spit up a little.  The whole movie I was in position with a bag ready if she got sick.  We got outside and was heading to It's a Small World and she said I don't feel good.  She started throwing up and luckily I had the bag ready.  They had wanted to ride It's a Small World all day and we had left it for that night.  Since it is Charlotte's favorite ride Ellie's said to Charlotte "Let's ride It's a Small World, it will make you feel better!"  We rode it but poor thing just didn't feel good.  We walked over to the Ariel ride and she fell asleep in Matthew's arms.  

 Ellie & Evan were still going strong, so she slept in the stroller while they rode Barnstormer again.

We rode Dumbo twice

 Ellie and I rode Haunted Mansion for the last ride of the night.
