This weekend our neighborhood put on their annual Easter event which involved about 17,000 filled eggs, 5 hunt circles (divided by age group... and yes, they even had a circle for Sarah's non-mobile age group), carnival games, Jello egg eating contests, a giant inflatable slide and more. We initially thought it would be a moderately sized event but were astounded at the number of families who attended. Although Sarah didn't seem to get too excited about it, we had fun watching all the kids line up around their egg circles and pounce on the colorful plastic bobs like piranha's on fresh meat. We're sure the squeals and cries could be heard 'round the world.
This weekend we journeyed into the majestic Rocky Mountains of Colorado for an overnight getaway. Luke's company had taken a snowmobiling trip to Granby, and although we didn't snowmobile, we accompanied for a free night and dinner away from the norm. This was Sarah's first overnight stay away from home and we weren't sure how things were going to go down. Surprisingly enough, Sarah went down with out any problems! Unfortunately, it was the large group of international students from Brazil and Chile partying the night away that hindered our sleep. Nonetheless, we made the best of it and took in all the beauty our Colorado backyard has to offer. These pics were taken outside the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory (yum) in Winter Park. Sarah just loved this bear, squealing with every grasp.
