Rivera Family: Easter Weekend

We were in Riverton for Easter this year. We arrived on Thursday because Ryan's schedule was changed and he had a half day on Thursday and didn't work Friday. We spent Friday playing games, and dying eggs. Rylee was able to dye eggs too! I thought she was going to just tip the dye or get bored with watching everyone else, but she did really well. She took the spoons and stirred the egg and liked to take the eggs out when they were done. It was cute, with most of the kids shirtless and dying eggs!.

On Saturday we woke up early to go to an Easter egg hunt that Smith's Grocery puts on, and has happened every year for a long time. I mean i went to this hunt as a young kid and they had been doing it a while before i went. OK so a long time, we get up to the College (CWC) and nothing. No Easter egg hunt! Want to know why? Someone wasn't sure who put it on, and said that CWC put on the Easter egg hunt and Smiths got their feelings hurt and instead of being the bigger person or group they decided to not put it on and not tell anyone that it wasn't going to happen. Thanks we just told a three year old that she gets to hunt Easter eggs and now nothing! So we went to eat at the airport and plaster our kids in the window to watch the airplanes take off (sound familiar dad?), before a different Easter egg hunt at a different park. Once we got to this Easter egg hunt we lined up around our children's age groups. Thank goodness they split them up because if not we wouldn't have gotten the one egg and few pieces of candy that we did get. There were so many people there, i must say it was because it was the only Easter egg hunt that day. It's OK though it was more for the experience than the candy she can't eat anyways because it's mostly taffy.

Later that day we took the kids back to the park because it was just too packed right after the Easter egg hunt. Both Rylee, and Marshal loved the swings i have videos of them both just cackling. Chloe is such a little explorer, she wasn't afraid to try anything. She climbed up the climbing wall, did the monkey bars, and even went down the fire pole. This child is three and isn't afraid of heights, not sure whether that's good or bad.

Once the children got home we put them in Debbie's (Ryan's mom) big bath tub and put in all the Easter eggs they'd been playing with for the last two days. It made for lots of fun and cute pictures with all three kids in the tub. When they got out we put the girls in their new matching Pj's. Not the first time Chloe and Rylee got matching pj's, but it was the first time i got pictures of them together in them. It's fun to see Chloe and Rylee play together even though Rylee's a few years younger. She's old enough to interact with Chloe now, and followed her around all weekend.

On Sunday we woke up and found our Easter baskets. Rylee got a cute little yellow teddy, and lots of candy. She mostly eats the peeps, but she can eat some of the chocolate too. Later we got all dressed up and went to Grandma and Grandpa Treese's for Easter "breakfast" which was at noon so it was more like lunch. It was yummy, lot's of bacon, eggs, potatoes, and pancakes with applesauce in the middle and strawberry's and homemade whip cream on top, YUM! Afterward Ryan and Reg (Ryan's Uncle) played some guitars and we watched the kids run around. Unfortunately most of the kids had to leave early so we didn't do an Easter egg hunt like we normally do, but we'll have a great one next year when Rylee and Marshall will be able to understand what's going on a bit more. We had to leave early so we could get back to Cheyenne and Ryan could get some planning done for class on Monday, so we didn't get to stay as long as we would have liked. Well that's all for now enjoy the photo's :)
