Pre-Easter Fun!

Easter weekend at the Buessing household started with a day off work for me for Good Friday.  I wanted to take advantage of the day to spend with Clare Bear, so I took her and my niece Aubrey to an Easter egg hunt in Wamego.  They had so much fun!  The hunt was at the local retirement community and set up by the Mom's Club that I am a part of.  It was not only fun for the kids and the parents, but I could tell that the residents really enjoyed taking part too.  

The girls got more than a dozen eggs a piece which translated to tons of candy.  So when we got home, it was time to sort it all out to see what we got and what we could/couldn't eat.  Clare enjoyed just shaking the eggs and taking them apart and putting them back together...those are two of the things she really likes to do with just about anything right now. 

So once we checked out all the eggs, it was on for more egg fun.  The girls thought it would be a really good idea to take all of the eggs from the table and throw them on the floor, which led to another hunt inside the house to make sure we got all of the eggs and the candy picked up and put away.  All and all it was a great time!

After the egg hunt, we took advantage of the beautiful weather and spent several hours at the park.  I swear Clare could go down the slide 100 times in a row and not get bored.  She is an outside kind of gal.  She and Aubrey were loving the time to play.  Since they are so close in age, they play so well together and are great friends.  It just warms my heart and puts a smile on my face to see these little sweeties having so much fun!  Check out the bottom pic...it looks like the girls are really solving the problems of the world in a deep conversation!  :)
