Easter (part 1)

This year Easter was spent up north.  Dave and I both had Good Friday off, so we headed up Friday afternoon.   Traffic was a bit heavy, but otherwise ok.  Ajax did excellent on the way up and spoke about tractors constantly (this child has a one track mind focused entirely on tractors).   As soon as we got up north Ajax was on the John Deere with his Papa and soon after Dave’s uncle got there with two of his granddaughters (who are a little older than Ajax).   Those three kids played nonstop until the sun went down- they went for rids and dug holes.  Ajax is all about digging holes right now.

On Saturday, Dave’s extended family came over with their kids and we had an Easter egg hunt.  The adults hid close to 800 eggs for about 10 kids.  The kids were practically tripping over eggs.  It was hilarious.   Ajax had a blast and filled up his basket.  About half way through he discovered that there was candy in the eggs and that was about it for him, he just wanted to sit down and eat candy.   After that they had a piñata.   It was Ajax’s first piñata and he got in several excellent hits.   Ajax loves playing with his cousins and they all get along so well.  It was so cute.
