Good Friday

It's Good Friday...and another rainy day.  Dave and I took the day off of work for a family-focused Easter weekend.  We had planned to take the kids to Butler's Orchard for the bunny festivities today, but due to the rain we had a change of plans.  This morning, instead, we took them to the Museum of Natural History and they LOVED it!  Of course, Cole knew the animals better than I did.  (Reminiscent of when we took our nephew, Jack, there about four years ago.)  After nap we're headed to Monkey Business - an indoor play area like Gymboree where the kids can run wild - with our neighbors, Christi and Joel and their sons, Jake and Chase (pictured in many of the outdoor fun photos we post).  Tomorrow, if it stops raining, we're headed to the Falls Church Easter Egg Hunt - again with our neighbors.  Last year I stayed home with Kira b/c she was too small and Dave took Cole.  Unfortunately, it starts at 10:00 and they arrived at 10:03 and all the eggs were already gone!!!  Apparently this event attracts a huge crowd.  So we're planning to arrive no later than 9:30 tomorrow morning.  Fun, fun, fun!  And then, of course, we have a houseful on Sunday for Easter.  We are hoping it doesn't rain (as predicted) because we have an Easter egg hunt planned in our backyard and the guest list includes Nana, Grandpa, Uncle Nick, Angie, Aunt Michelle, Uncle Jason, Cousins Sammy, Brady, and Leah, Aunt Leslie, Uncle Alex, Evan and Christine.  A houseful!  So, crossing our fingers for surprise sunshine :-)
