All Things Easter...and Date Night

Sorry I took a little hiatus last week.  I'm in the process of being an instructor at another fitness studio in town and I had an intense week of training and practice on top of my normal work schedule and the girls' activities. 

We had quite the weekend this past weekend though with our annual trip to Anthony Thomas Chocolate Company to see the Easter Bunny, playing at the playground (it was 70 degrees and so nice out!), having a date night, "hosting" our neighborhood Easter egg hunt, and having a free friends & family class at the studio I'm going to start teaching at to get some practice in.  Trust me, by Sunday late afternoon, I was spent!

These two were pretty excited to see the Easter Bunny

 After seeing the Easter Bunny, they give the kids 2 plastic eggs filled with either a bag of jelly beans or 3 chocolate eggs 

Then you head upstairs to watch them actually make the chocolate in the factory

We were lucky enough to get there right at the same time as Lynn & her family so we were all able to hang out and actually get a family picture

The tour drops you off in their store/gift shop where we always spend way too much money on chocolate and then a trolley drives you back around to the parking lot

 My favorite gang of little kids

 Since it was so nice out, we decided to head to the park and Lynn & family joined us

Lucy made a bird feeder at Girl Scouts last week and has been obsessed with spying on the birds and checking to see if they've eaten any of the bird seed

 I planned our monthly date night with Todd in mind--we finally made it to Kai's Crab Boil!  Todd was beyond excited to go there

Working hard for his food

We got 2 lbs of shrimp and crab legs

Dinner was not complete without bibs and gloves

 Dinner was followed by a few mile drive down the road to a newer local brewery, Somewhere in Particular 

You know he had to get a flight of beers

Prize table for our Easter egg hunt that I was in charge of this year (no one wanted to plan it this year so I stepped up and decided to take it over; I ended up filling over 800 plastic eggs the last couple weeks, ordered some food, and got some prizes for the "bonus eggs"and golden ticket winner)

I ordered some sandwich platters & side salads from the grocery store and picked up some chips and cookies too

Lucy made her way over to an area that no other kids were in so her bucket filled up quickly

We probably had at least 40 kids there

Full buckets!

Lucy was excited that she had a bonus egg and got some bubbles

I had 11 amazing friends that came and took my friends & family class at Shred415 Sawmill--so excited to be on the schedule soon!
