Our Annual Easter Egg Hunt was postponed due to freezing temperatures.  It was a beautiful day to be outside.





Ready!  Set!  Go!

 Spring Flower Show at Phipp's




This room had such a gorgeous display I think the it looks like a fake background.





 Heading for a weight training class we come across a python at the Y.  Elizabeth and I were brave enough to carry it.  Andrew and Michael did pet him, and James watched from afar.
We all steered clear of the tarantula.



With the weather finally warming to Spring temperatures the kids love to go out.  Saturday morning Michael declares, "It's lovely outside.  Andrew, would you like me to read you a book on the deck?"  It was such a sweet moment.




 We celebrated a happy and holy Easter


My Easter blessing was the most well behaved children in our grand two our Mass.
We returned home to find what the Easter Bunny left.

 


 

Elizabeth was more interested in posing with her giant lollipop than eating it.


 Michael and James are excited to build the Burj Khalifa Lego set.


Super Heroes!


  
 Family time after our feast of a dinner.  Cousin Sarah getting some cuddles.

 

Driving home the kids enjoyed plenty of their treats.





The weather was perfect for the Easter Egg Hunt on Magic Island.  There were 15,000 filled eggs for the children.  Andrew was a little overwhelmed and sad that he was in the younger age group.




 

 The mad dash lasted about one minute.


 Somehow Elizabeth manages to fill her bucket.  There were children who found only a couple and some didn't get any.  She was very focused, strangers would walk by and comment that she had more eggs than anyone else. Elizabeth was tickled pink.

 

My mom and I took the kids down the river bank where the boys had more fun.


 
 








Dyeing eggs






With freezing temperatures, the only hunt we did in Pittsburgh was at the library.
