Last Saturday was a Fun Family Day

Last Saturday was a lot of fun. We started the day out by going to our church Easter breakfast and egg hunt. We weren't sure whether Allie would catch on to what she was suppose to do during the egg hunt, but she really did pretty well. It was really cute watching her. We thought that the egg hunt was going to be inside, so we didn't come prepared with a coat. The sun was shining, but there was a really cold wind blowing, so a lady in the ward let Allie borrow her son's jacket. He had several layers on, so he didn't need it. It was pretty big on her, but she could still run pretty well.

Here are some pictures from the event.

Bundled in a coat, Allie is waiting patiently by the door.

Adding an egg to her basket, she starts looking for the next one.

Delighted about her collection.

Here's a video from the hunt:

After the egg hunt, we went back inside for a little bit. Allie found her way to the nursery and started pushing her baby in its "stroller" (grocery cart). She took it for a walk around the block (through the gym and back to the nursery by way of the halls).

Allie wanted to drive us home. We let her play for a short time, but then disappointed her by putting her in her car seat.

As we were getting ready to leave the church, our friends, Amy and Lily, called to see whether we wanted to go explore Stillwater's Art Festival with them. We decided that we'd meet them there. Part of Main Street was closed down for different artists to display their creations. There were some very unique pieces. We especially enjoyed some of the copper work, blown glass, and pottery.
As we were heading back to the car, a children's Irish dance group started performing. Given the good tunes and really pretty good dancing, we thought that we would watch for a little while. Both Allie and Lily were a little shy about moving to the music at first, but they eventually decided it would be fun to dance and run around.

In addition to running and dancing, Allie decided it would be fun to do her newly-found trick of, what we call, "butt-bumping" or "butt-dropping." Here's a video that shows her trick. She also does this trick in the bathtub, which makes for some exciting splashes.

Here are some pictures of their fun, too.

All in all, it was a very fun morning.
