EASTER!......in the sticks

We went to Rhett's parent's house for Easter this year. We were able to go out on Wednesday night and didn't have to come back until Sunday. We did all sorts of great things....the kind of things that one does while in the country. You know, things like....

Catch baby lambs and pet them.

Catch roosters (or hens as I was informed), yank their feathers out, and then pet them.

Catch horses and pet them. Or, unless you're Ava and then it's "no touch, Daddy, no touch".

Roast hotlinks/hot dogs in the freezing cold

But, most importantly.....just relax and have a good time.

Then, it was time for the Easter festivities to begin. Here's the egg dying process.

There is a really funny video I wanted to show you all to give you some insight into my daily life. In order to show you that video...I needed to show you this one first. It is a little lengthy, but it is the prelude to the next video....

So...at the end of the last video you see us beginning to clean up all the egg dying stuff. Here is Ava's reaction to us cleaning up. Again, insight into my daily life....

Easter Morning...

Ava is really into Trains right now. There's a new show on Disney show called Chuggington. Ever since it came on, she can't seem to get enough of trains. And lucky her! The Easter Bunny brought her some trains!

Unfortunately, it snowed several inches so the kiddies had to do their egg hunt inside. Not quite as much fun, but they still enjoyed it. Ava caught onto the idea really quickly.

Ava's basket-o-eggs/candy...mmm.....
