Easter weekend was lots of fun! Kayla had an Easter party at school and then the Saturday before Easter we had some friends over (Jake, Tiffany and their little girl Addison, and Ashley, Eddie, and their son Trey). They dyed Easter eggs and hunted for eggs all night long! By Sunday Kayla told me she was tired of hunting eggs. We had a great celebration at church and a nice lunch out. We needed naps Sunday afternoon and then we spent the rest of that night hiding and hunting for more Easter eggs! Kayla loved her Easter basket from me and Nana Shu. Lots of goodies!
I used a Resurrection Eggs kit I purchased to tell Kayla the story of Easter. She had lots of questions and I hope that some of it will stick with her.
Last weekend Kayla had a special "first". A camping trip! My Dad, Donna, Kayla, and I drove to Vogel in North GA with Cary's truck and a pop-up camper. We arrived around 6:30pm and began to set up camp. Kayla was so excited and was running all around. We grilled hamburgers and ate baked beans for supper. We were all starving! It got dark quickly and Kayla was very cautious as we warned that a bear had been spotted scavenging for food. We roasted marshmallows but Kayla didn't like them all burned!
We finally nestled in to our beds and it sure was nice to have a warm body next to me, it was cold! The next morning we had bacon, fruit, and waffles. Yum! Kayla said breakfast was her favorite part but did not enjoy her hands being cold. There was a playground in walking distance so we spent a good bit of time there and I was able to hike a little. We headed home shortly after. It was a beautiful park and just the right amount of time for me...I'm not much of a camper. I'm glad we got to do it.
Kayla's school year is winding down and I can hardly believe it! Tomorrow I get to visit her school for a special Mother's Day brunch. May 16th Kayla gets to attend a Pony Party at a farm and May 17th is a special water play day at school. I'll try to get some pictures up soon!
