Heidi's bday (part 1)

part 1 because, let's be serious, I'm not going to finish this post during naptime!

Heidi's birthday was the day before Easter. We planned to have dinner together that evening to celebrate her, but then we thought, heck, let's invite her and Bruce to do the whole day with us! And they did!

It began with swim lessons at 9:00am. We've been to the pool a few times before with the kiddos, but this was our first "lesson". We never get any pics because both blake and I are in the water with the kids, so Heidi kindly got my keys from the locker room to unlock the car to get my camera out, and bruce took pics!

Ethan liked the noodles. kaylee did not.

look, kaylee had some fun.

ethan liked the rings. kaylee did not.

Ethan liked floating on his back.

Kaylee absolutely hated being on her back and tried to curl into a ball and hang on to me for dear life.

under the noodles! both kids liked this part.

nursery rhymes while sitting on a floating mat.

by the end, kaylee decided she liked sitting in the middle of the mat best. quite courageous of her.

she also liked jumping out of the water a lot.

next it was off to the City of Redmond Egg Hunt! Swim lessons were 9-9:30 and the Egg hunt was at 10, so we went directly, and appreciated Heidi and Bruce's help in the locker room - they both got the job of blow-drying the kids' hair. :)

before the horn sounded for the "hunt" to start.

each kid found one egg. yep, one. there were A LOT of kids at this egg hunt. it probably lasted 2 minutes - they each picked up one egg and then we went to look for more and there just weren't any; they'd all been picked up by other kids. the kids weren't upset about this at all, so it was totally fine, but I was a little surprised by how fast it went!

there were multiple egg hunts for different age groups in various fields. The easter bunny was in the fire truck overlooking it all.

whoa. a fire truck. pretty cool.

and, that's what kaylee thought of the easter bunny. :)

fortunately, grandma heidi was able to calm her down.

and that's the end of nap time, so more to come later!
