Easter Weekend - Dying the Eggs

I really enjoy coloring Easter Eggs.  Samuel and I tried using rubber bands this year to make some fun designs.  We had so much fun!

 

I asked Samuel to smile and he said he wanted to have a silly face.  I think he is all ready for a Russell Family reunion as making a silly face in pictures is standard procedure :)  I love my little guy!

 



Easter Weekend - Green Meadows Farm

I have always been a big fan of Easter.  I love Spring and I love what Easter is all about.  I have great Easter memories growing up.  One Easter my mom bought us a baby chick and a baby duckling.  They were so cute and fun.  We also got baby bunnies one year.  It was fun to play with the little animals. 
So for this weekend I got to take off Friday and Monday to have some extra time to enjoy with Samuel.  On Friday we went to Green Meadows Farm and had a great time.  Samuel got to ride a pony, help hold a chick and a duckling, try to catch a chicken and a duck, milk a cow (although he didn't want to so he just rubbed her side), go on a hayride, pet a tortoise, and see some baby bunnies.  All and all we had a wonderful day together.
