Easter Weekend

We headed to Gigi and Papa's (Grandma and Grandpa Boisseau) house for Easter. We were only there about three full days but we filled them with a lot. We colored eggs, hid eggs, played with baby chicks (more about this below) flew kites, helped Papa feed his cows, went to church and even made a trip to the Coldwater ER. Whew....it was a very full but great weekend. We can't wait to go back!

We started out Friday with decorating some eggs. Kate loved it but she was very messy. I love this picture with her hand by Gigis.

The BIG surprise for the weekend were the baby chicks. Gigi got Kate eight chicks that were each dyed a different color. Their fur is dyed by coloring their drinking water, so it does grow out and is completely safe for the chicks. Gigi found a home for them after Easter but we sure did enjoy playing with them. The two pics above are when Kate first got to see them....she thought they were super fun!

The weather on Friday afternoon was perfect so we spent a lot of time in the yard with the chicks. As Kate said it was "so fun!"

Close-up of the chicks...aren't they pretty!

On Saturday morning we headed into Coldwater for an Easter egg hunt. Kate loved it and got some really fun things in her eggs from candy to money!

Later in the day we helped Papa feed his cattle. I love this photo with Papa in the background while Kate thinks she is driving.

We ended the day by flying some kites.

While the adults flew our kites, Kate spent most of her time pushing this cart up and down the road.

We were flying the kites right by one of Papa's wheat fields. I thought the green fields made for some great family pics!

As we are getting ready to head home on Sunday, Kate cuts her finger on a broken glass door. We couldn't tell how bad the cut was so we headed into the Coldwater ER. She didn't need any stitches and they just used some glue on her finger. The good news is her finger is just fine.For some reason the photo of her above loaded small....but wanted to share the pic of Kate with her rather large bandage for her very small cut!
