Trip to South Carolina

This past weekend we were able to go to South Carolina to visit with some of my family. Even though the weather was cool, and rainy we still had a great time!

We fit in few Easter activities including a visit with the Easter Bunny...and coloring Easter eggs.

Here are several photos from our trip!

I guess I need to be thankful there were no tears (but smiles would have been nice!)

 

Meredith and Matt didn't color eggs but we thought it would be a good time to get in a family photo.

We colored eggs the first night we were there - Madilynn did well considering this was after dinner, after a LONG drive!

She of course was Miss Independent, and wanted to do it all on her own.

She started off trying to use the egg dippers....

This cool device made the eggs look tie-dyed.

Notice she found it much easier to just pick the eggs out of the colors rather than try balance them on the dippers...luckily the dye washed off pretty well.

Even Gigi helped color some eggs....

This is her "cheese" face....we need to work on getting her to smile for photos....apparently we only get the extremes....no smile or this.

We attended Palm Sunday services at Aunt Rose's Church, we were able to hear Anna and Shalina sing in the choir. And with Kevin's help Madilynn walked down the aisle waving a palm branch.

These photos were taken after church.

Madilynn wasn't into getting too many photos, luckily Meredith didn't mind...

No, we didn't stick her in here for not cooperating....she wanted to play in the dog crate rather than get her picture taken. She spent hours playing in the dog crates....sometimes with a dog, or Anna in the crate with her.

Coloring with Gigi

Ok, so yes I picked out her outfit, but she added the headband, sunglasses, and Anna's shoes.

She sure does love the dogs - here she is with Ellie.

 

We had a great time - our visit was way too short. Thanks Aunt Rose and Shalina for including all of the fun Easter Activities - I doubt I would have been brave enough to color eggs this year! Although I think next year is the one I need to worry about!!!
