Easter Weekend

Easter weekend was a lot of fun this year.  Saturday we decided to head to The Woodlands and take some pictures with the bluebonnets.  They were in full bloom and although they're a weed, they were very pretty.

After picture time, was a little play time.  

I will get up here by myself!  And she did.

I will blow you a kiss, but please don't think about joining
me on my bench.  Really.  I'm a big girl now.

Easter Sunday began with a visit by the Easter bunny, of course.  That Easter bunny is a smart little guy.  He knew that mama Coble is ready to hit the beach and decided to get Evie pumped up for it as well!  However, Evie was more excited about her new books and the chalk than anything else in the basket.  She must not remember how much fun we had last year on the beach!  Weird.  

After the Easter bunny madness, we ate breakfast, headed off to church and then drove down to Galveston for a buffet brunch and Easter activities at Moody Gardens.  

So, the brunch wasn't good.  Really at all.  But...we were seated next to a window that had tons of seagulls flying around and Evie was very entertained.  As a result, Darin and I actually got to eat without picking her cup, fork, plate, etc. up off the floor repeatedly.  Overall, we call that a win these days.  My, how your standards change when having a kid!

After brunch began the "Easter activities" which included visiting the Easter bunny, going to the petting zoo and then the big Easter egg "hunt", among other activities Evie was too young to participate in.  

So brave when the Easter bunny was 10ft. away.

No so brave when he's 10in. away.

After the petting zoo it was 2:10pm.  The Easter egg "hunt", which consisted off a bunch of eggs put out on an open field, was at 3:00pm.  It was 80 degrees.  Needless to say, little Miss Evie did not participate.  Instead, we went to the Moody Gardens Aquarium, which was a lot of fun...and air conditioned.

It was a very fun weekend spent together.  Which, honestly, makes most weekends pretty darn fun.
