Easter 2010

This year's Easter started off the same way as last year's (which can be seen here). That is, with an egg hunt. Lucas was a lot better at it this year, and he really seemed to have a good time. He's surprisingly perceptive when it comes to locating eggs in non-obvious locations. Of the 18 eggs I hid, he only needed help finding a couple of them.





Yes, that's chocolate on his hands. In a follow-up post, you'll see the video that explains how his hands got that way.


Later that morning, I brought him to the Canadian Agriculture Museum in order to give Marilu a chance to work on some school stuff. We've been there several times since it's a great place for kids, what with all the animals, so this year we went ahead and bought an annual pass. That ought to pay for itself well before the end of the summer.





(For what it's worth, the next to last picture with the big cow lying behind him is one of my favorite pics of Lucas in a while)

In the evening, we had our next-door neighbors over with their kids (the older one, Tyler, is only a few months younger than Lucas) and had a tasty turkey dinner. No pictures of that part of the day, unfortunately. All in all, though, it was a good Easter.

On a related note to Tyler, earlier this weekend, we took down three of the boards in the fence that separates our two yards so now Lucas and Tyler can go back and forth between the two yards without having to go out front. It's been such a hit so far, I can't believe we didn't do it sooner.
