Easter

Easter took up the whole weekend this year. It started Saturday morning with the Big Bunny Fun Run. I've gone to this event for the last six or seven years though recently I have only done the 1.5 mile walk. This year Noemi announced that she was going to run the 5k. With no else to walk with, I decided to do the 5k as well. Having done very little actual running recently, I didn't even attempt to keep up with Noemi and Sonia. But I did run the first mile while pushing the double jogger. Then it was back to walking for the second mile and a combination run/walk for the final third. It felt good to run again though very hard on my joints. My knees were sore for 2 days.

After the run it was off to the next Easter event at Jean and Luke's house. Gina and Andrew were loading up on sugar the whole time we were there. Then it was time for the easter egg hunt. They had a great time looking for eggs. Each basket was filled in short order. The hard part came when we had to leave. Gina dashed ahead to the car while Andrew lagged behind not wanting to leave. I finally had to carry Andrew under one arm and Dylan with the other. Then of course, Gina said she needed to use the bathroom so it was back to the house with all three.

The Easter Bunny arrived Easter morning. Gina made sure to take all the eggs out of her basket the night before so that the Easter Bunny would be sure to leave something in her basket. The kids were also excited that Gabriel and Julian were coming over for brunch. Once again Gina and Gabriel led the way looking for eggs in the yard.
