Easter

Audrey loving her little sissy



For Easter weekend we packed up our van and took the family to the farm in Verndale. Within ten minutes of leaving Roseau, Audrey had asked four times, "are we there yet? I see a farm right there." Needless to say, we let her watch Frozen until we reached in Bagley. Once we arrived in Bagley, we took a rest for Gracie to eat, gas up, and a treat at the store. Then it was nap time for everyone in the van except the driver!

Friday evening, we hung out with family. Dan & Ruth made it down. I headed to the movies in Wadena with Amanda.


On Saturday, Audrey went with Grandma Ruth and dad to an Easter Egg Hunt in the Vernale Park. She was excited to tell me...she say Addy there too! :) Saturday, Amanda and I headed to Wadena to check out the bookstore and coffee shop. The rest of the day was spent enjoying the farm, checking out the kittens, chickens, and cows. We colored eggs in the afternoon, and Audrey took a three hour nap. She was eagler waiting for Hayden and Braylee to arrive!

On Sunday, as we waited for Hayden and Braylee, Audrey and Gracie searched the farm for their Easter Egg baskets! We enjoyed oatmeal for breakfast, a wonderful Easter dinner, and the annual Easter Egg hunt in the afternoon.
I think this Easter bunny has scary eyes...?
