Easter

We have had a wonderful weekend celebrating Easter and our beautiful Spring weather.  The kids were out of school for Good Friday, so we spent most of the day by poolside. 
  Owen tried out some new floaties and wasn't too thrilled.  He yelled "Someone help me.. my Mom is going crazy... she's gone mad!!"  Apparently those floaties were a bust.  He really just likes his floaty boats and dive sticks. My sis brought her clan over to swim and Gigi joined us.  Love the flippers and sunblock cheeks.. this girl is silly.
Easter morning was very sweet.  The Easter Bunny send the kids on a scavenger hunt around the house to find their baskets.  Owen got a new motor boat for the pool and Kam got a 3DS game she's been wanting with nail stuff.  Love these kiddos.. they are my world!
We all went to my parents for Easter lunch after church.  My parents got a new tramp a few weeks ago and the kids love it!! 
Gigi got a Slip N Slide for Easter and it was perfect 90 degree weather today to enjoy it!  Owen was too nervous to run and slide, so he was in charge of the hose.  See Liv using the floaty as a shield?  Owen was in heaven!!
I convinced Kam to get her suit on and come play.. promising her it would be FUN!
Then these two got ahold of the hose.  Liv and Owen.. these two are trouble!
Kam was regretting her decision to come out and play.  Ha.  She only lasted about 15 minutes. 
Owen got a little brave and decided to run across the Slip N Slide.  This is an Owen "run".
Then he wanted to try it on the way back... and then this happened... and he was done trying.  Poor guy.
He decided that sitting on the end and watching Liv do somersaults and Gigi fly down the mat on her knees was more fun!  He was outside for at least 3 hours and laughed the entire time.  It was sweet for this mama's heart to see him having so much fun!

We had a wonderful day!  I didn't get to spend much time indoors with the adults because I was having so much fun with the little ones outdoors.  So grateful for all that we have been given.  Thankful to celebrate this Easter Sunday with my family!!

What fun you all had! Looks like the kids had a blast with their outdoor toys! We still have a few months here before it is bathing suit weather. Cannot wait!

Have you tried a puddle jumper with Owen? A favorite with my 2 girls for the pool.
