Happy Easter Weekend...with a couple of snakes!

It was a VERY happy and fun-filled Easter weekend in Savannah for the Leonards! The kids and I headed down early on Wednesday with Great Uncle John. He was nice enough to brave the ride with the kids! They did excellent! Jack watched a movie, took a little nap and then woke up and had a snack! Lucy slept the whole way and woke up with about an hour to go and sat back there talking sweetly and happy! I was soooo relieved and proud of them (and a little surprised)! We were so glad to have a little extra time for our visit. We went to the Yacht Club most days to look at the boats and play on the playground. Jack was most interested in Uncle John's big boat! We had to go see it every time! He even got to get on it and go down in the "hide out" to play! He thought that was "So neat"! Cousin Sarah helped out with Jack so much! He was crazy about her by the time we left! She helped with bath time and reading "THE WHITE SEAL" (her own made up version each night...it was a very long book!) Friday night we went to a petting zoo and fish fry at the Yacht Club. It was lots of fun and beautiful weather! Jack held TWO snakes (I can't believe it didnt scare me more!) He was so brave and went right up to hold them! They were pretty heavy too! He also held some bunnies, baby chicks, guinea pigs, and a turtle! Daddy got in around bath time on Friday and we were happy to see him!
Saturday we had a big party at Aunt Mimi's house to celebrate Easter and Jack's birthday (yes, I think we have celebrated for about 3 weeks now!). It was so much fun! Jack had a fun Easter Egg hunt and even a Present Hunt!!!! His birthday presents were hidden around the front yard like eggs! That was so fun to watch He got so excited! I think the most excited he got was about his new alligator sleeping bag! He LOVES it! Thank you Nannie! We had a BIG yummy dinner that night! It was a really fun time with family!
Sunday morning we woke up to find that the Easter Bunny had come to see Jack and Lucy! Jack was really excited about his big barrell of pirate men! He is very in to action figures and make believe right now! We all got ready and went to church (and yes, got there on time!). Both kids sat thorugh a 1.5 hour service and were angels!!! Jack even stood at the end of our aisle to say hey to everyone coming back from Communion. We headed to Gigi's house after church to celebrate Easter...and yes, Jack's birthday, with that family! It was such a fun happy afternoon! Jack had another Easter egg hunt and got to blow out candles ONE more time!
We are so blessed to have wonderful family! It was a very fun and happy weekend! We were also happy to get back to our little house last night! We are worn out from all of our "fun"! And yes....there are LOTS of pictures!
