Easter Weekend

Saturday we went to the Kite festival in DC.  There wasn't a whole lot of wind, but when it came kites went up.

Hot Cup's kite is the one at the top!

When Hot Cup assembled his kite our toddler immediately tried to take it, he loved all the kites! He even whispered the word 'kite' a few times, totally unprompted.


He also loved walking around and having a picnic.


When we'd been there almost 2.5 hours, and it was a little after his normal naptime, he started to get a little cranky and I asked if he wanted to get in his stroller for a nap and he said yes. He didn't end up sleeping but he didn't ask to get out either and seemed to be having a good time snacking and watching kites. We left about an hour later and he napped most the way home. What a fun day!


First thing Easter morning we brought our toddler downstairs to see his Easter basket. There wasn't really anything new since he went shopping with us but he loved it.  His favorite was definitely the new train.  (It's the yellow engine and yellow coal car set you see in the picture.)  Then we had him hunt for eggs which he also loved. He was delighted to find chocolate candy in some of them. He didn't care as much for the non-chocolate candy.


After church we had a wonderful time visiting our parents. Hot Cup's dad has recently moved into a assisted living place and we made our first visit. Then we visited with his mom a while and then went to my parents' for Easter Dinner. Our little guy got some fun things from his grandparents. He loves being with them but when bedtime came around he asked to go home. Smart little guy.
