Egg Hunt

Each year we tend to have an Easter Egg Hunt at Grandpa Mike and Grandma Debbie's house. This year we hosted Easter at our house. The Saturday before we had an Easter Egg Hunt for Arya in the backyard.

Every time she found one she would hold it up and shout "FOUND IT!"

Look at all those eggs!

Checking out her loot.

The eggs had stickers, candy, or coins in them.

Putting the coins safely in her piggy bank.

Easter 2014

Easter Basket:

This year I was able to buy items for her basket without her going with me. In her basket she received a chocolate cross (instead of a chocolate bunny as usual), sidewalk chalk, bubbles, a toy airplane (an orange one- her favorite color!), a Winnie-the-Pooh stamp set, and plastic eggs (they contained teddy grahams, jelly beans, or coins).

Wonderscope

Yesterday, we went to a MOPS playdate at Wonderscope Children's Museum.

This lighted table with magnetic shapes was Arya's favorite thing. It's out in the hallway, not in an exhibit, so every time we left a room she ran back to it.

The Farm Exhibit was lots of fun. She played in it more than once. It was nice because we plan on planting a garden this year and I think the play one was a good way to introduce her to it. Also, whenever we go shopping she wants to push the cart. It was nice that here they had a child size cart that she could push. (At home, she has a play cart. But it's plastic and obviously a toy. This one was just like a regular basket only her size.)

Arya was very cute at the water exhibit. She kept using the net to "catch" the other floating toys. Each time she got something scooped up in her net she'd yell "I did it!"

There's a LEGO exhibit. It's all about ocean life and there are play submarines.

These foam blocks were neat.

Arya currently has a slight obsession with birdhouses. If she is drawing a picture or building with blocks-she will tell you it's a birdhouse (I want Bradley to help her build one this spring). With these building pieces in the Tinker Exhibit she "built"- what else- a birdhouse!
