Easter Celebration

 Last Saturday we went to an Easter party put on by a church in Annapolis. It was great and best of all, everything was free. They had a live band, 3 separate egg hunts, tons of games, prizes, pony rides, food and more. We did the egg hunt first. We missed the younger group but there were so many eggs that it didn't matter that there were older kids hunting with us; the girls still got plenty of eggs.  










Blake and Jen invited us to this fun event with them. Blake said he didn't want to hunt for eggs because he was too big, hehe...his bag was filled to the brim though. 






Brooklyn playing cute. 




After the hunt we stood in line to ride the ponies. Laneah and Blake went to the bounce houses with Jen while Brooklyn and I waited in line. They had these adorable hats for the kids to wear while they rode the ponies. Laneah loved it of course. 




I was so proud of Brooklyn. This was her first pony ride. She has always been too scared before, but she rode all by herself (the saddle had a seat belt). I kept asking her if she wanted to ride and she would say "uh huh", but I was surprised when she got up there. 


They had some bunnies for the kids to pet too. It was a challenge getting them to move on to the next event:)


They had a bunny carnival ride. I rode with the kids and it was fun. 


The kids kept putting their arms up in the air and yelling. 
Brooklyn loved it. She is going to have so much fun at Disney World. 


The kids got their faces painted. Blake got a cheetah face; Brooklyn a butterfly; and Laneah requested a rainbow bat (seriously, she told the lady she wanted a bat with all the colors).




A sweet moment captured. I love when they are nice to each other. 
We did a bunch of fun games and then had lunch. 








They had a couple of firetrucks and firemen there to let the kids tour the trucks and talk with them. Laneah lived it up. 
They also had a giant park so we let the kids play there for a little bit before we left. It was fun and you can't beat free. Looking forward to it next year.
