we had a great easter weekend here in the mountains. the weather was absolutely perfect so we spent lots of time outside and had TWO picnic lunches! friday’s was at the banner elk park. we had a great time playing there together. our favorite thing there is the “bumpy slide” which is a slide made out of rollers but it’s quite bumpy going down so that’s how we named it. 
saturday we had our picnic at grandfather mountain. it’s dollar days in april for locals and whoever rides in the car with them so we all got in for the bargain price of $4! the skies weren’t as clear as they were on friday, but we still had great views up there and enjoyed climbing on the rocks and crossing the mile high swinging bridge. we also saw the bears and otters and the split rock.
saturday night we made eggs out of rice krispie treats and also colored easter eggs. we enjoyed having practice egg hunts that afternoon to get us ready for the next morning. we hid the eggs for each other on the back deck and then had the other find the eggs. we even hid them together for our daddies to find them!
sunday morning we found easter baskets and had our egg hunt. i got some very nice things from the easter bunny and also from my grandparents in iowa who sent me easter packages. after we had some candy and breakfast, we got dressed up all pretty for church.
