Easter Egg Hunt Extravaganza!

We went up to Rockport again for the annual Easter Egg Hunt at the Fulton Mansion!  The boys and visiting Cousin Brooke were dressed in their Easter best and ready to fight to the death for some plastic eggs filled with candy and small prizes! What could be better?  When the whistle blew, kids of all ages punched and kicked and threw each other to the ground, scrambling for eggs, and seeing who could fill their basket to the fullest.  It was a great time had by all!  Here they were before it all went down:

The handsome devil...

The Easter Ham.

Oh... my...

Brookie B looking B-eautiful.

Watch out! He's swinging the bucket!

Let's get some eggs!!

Ohhh... I can't wait any longer...

Getting his game face on!

What?!?! I will not be sharing my eggs!

The "Too Cool for This" look...

The "Try to Look Sad and Not Smile" look...

The "Normal Paul" look... wah, wah, wah...

Got some eggs with Granny G!

We beat the crowd and beat the rain!

Silly rabbits...

Enough candy to last at least a day! Hooray for Easter!

Just a Walk in the Park

We found a new park to check out the other day, up in Port Aransas over the ferry.  It was supposed to have alligators in the water, but we unfortunately did not find any (or maybe fortunately, depending on how you look at it).  There was a long wooden walkway that took us on quite a hike to get to this observation tower, but when we got to the end it was flooded over, so we never made it.  Oh well... it was a nice day, and other than a little whining from the youngest two, we had a good time.

Even Farrah came along, because it was a perfect trail for dog walking... only all the signs read, "No Pets." Oh well, wait in the car, Farrah.

Nice, Nolan.  Real nice.

Group hug! Group hug! No... group choke!
