The Carey Family: Easter weekend!

I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend! We had a long weekend with John. They were out of school Friday and Monday, so we got lots of playtime in. Friday we were getting the Dish Network installed, so we all played in the backyard most of the day. Mitchell helped us put our new wheelbarrow together, played in the leaves, ate some dirt, & walked around with daddy's drill, fixing anything and everything that he could. So we all had a great day outside Friday. John and I cleaned up the yard some. It feels like its a never ending process, but i'm sure we'll get there someday. We got the fence moved out to our property line and attached to the new addition, the next project is a pond!
Daniel and David came over Friday evening and we grilled out and almost had to call a locksmith to get Mitchell out of their Tahoe! HAHA They were washing their car at our house and Mitchell loves being inside of a car messing with all of the buttons/knobs, so they put him in there WITH the keys HAHA And what do you know, he hits the lock button. So we try and get him to hit the unlock button, but it wasn't working, so when I was gone to get the yellowpages and a phone he finally just pushed the lock over to unlock! Bet we'll all remember to never leave the keys in the car with the kid, I know I have done it before not thinking!
Saturday we went to the Charlie Daniels Park for an Easter Egg hunt. There was a petting zoo, pony rides, inflatable slides/jumpy things, concessions, and of course an egg hunt. There were 15,000 eggs and they were all gone within 2 minutes. John figured it up that it was 125 eggs being picked up per second...WOW! They had all of the ages roped off in different sections. Mitchell's was 2 & Under and they were on the tennis courts, so it was pretty hard trying to keep him from running out there until it was time. Mitchell only picked up 4, but he could have had more. He was just happy to finally get to run around. He kept saying, "ball" and either kicking or throwing them. HAHA He did win a gold dollar from a bank though!
Sunday we didn't do anything besides go to church and Home Depot!
Then yesterday we took Mitchell and Bobby (my third cousin) to the Adventure Science Museum. It's really a neat place, lots to do and see. Mitchell was really into the Toddler Section. They had blocks, trains, blocks, and PVC pipes in there to play with. So after we explored the whole place, we spent a while in there.

Mitchell's Easter Basket. Camo Crocs, camo shirt/shirts, socks, tablets that color your bath water, and a Backyardigans dvd, which was of course his favorite gift.

Mitch's easter egg section - tennis courts

He wasn't too sure about his hat, he liked carrying it around instead.

Showing me the snow that he and Daddy saw last week! HAHA

We almost had a catastrophe here on the swings. This swing is pretty low, so for John and I, we have to hold our legs straight out and up the whole time. As I was about to take a picture, John's foot got caught and they came flying towards me. John stumbled a few times, bounced off of me, then finally caught himself and Mitchell. It was pretty funny and scary at the same time, because Mitchell would have done a faceplant!
