Didn't go as Expected but That's OK -- April 12, 2009

Today didn't turn out as planned but it was awesome. They were having some event at the zoo for Easter today. I had planned on taking the kids, and thought it would be fun to see animals, collect Easter eggs, and do some crafts. I decided to meet my sister at the gas station near the zoo, while my cousin went ahead. She ended up calling us and telling us that there was no parking and the lines were seriously long. My kids are not very good at waiting in lines and I knew it would end up just being a frustrating morning if we decided to go. So I went in the gas station to buy a paper to see if there were any other events going on. Well they were having an egg hunt at another park so we decided to go there. We got there a half an hour before the event started so parking wasn't a problem. It was a little cold but not to horrible. The kids got tons of candy (great just what they need) and had a blast. I was happy that we decided to go to the event at the park instead of the zoo. There was kind of alot of people at the park but they had different areas for each age group so the little one's didn't get ran over by the big kids. It was really nice. Afterwards we went to my sisters for lunch, then put the kids down for nap, and then we colored eggs. All in all it was a really nice day. I can't wait for tomorrow. My kids don't exactly grasp the concept of the Easter Bunny yet, but they will be surprised to wake to find baskets and a whole day full of fun. We are going to my mom's for lunch, an easter egg hunt, and just to hang out. Then we are going to a friends house for dinner. It should be tons of fun.
