Happy Easter!


We had a wonderful weekend at the cabin. Much to our surprise, the weather turned nice. The 50 degrees outside felt like summer as it had been snowing all week. Sophie got to spend lots of time with her cousins, and Grandma and Grandpa. Sophie especially loved seeing her cousin Elly, who is almost 3. Sophie followed her everywhere, including- much to our embarrassment- into the bathroom. Oh well, maybe it will motivate her to potty train. I think Sophie and Elly are going to be great friends this summer- most of the time- they are 2 and 3 after all.
Dying Easter Eggs was a new experience for Sophie, one that she did not quite understand at first. She kept trying to reach in and grab the egg, or dump the water out of the container. It took a couple of tries, but she finally got it.
Unable to resist touching the eggs.
It was also Sophie's first Egg hunt. She did not understand this concept either and got 2 eggs and decided she was done.
Stopping mid egg hunt to pick some Dandelions.
Grandpa was kind enough to show Sophie how to unwrap her chocolate candy. After trying her first piece of candy she said, "mmm."
The beach at the cabin is being redone, so there are lots of big dirt piles in the driveway. Grandma gave Sophie an icecream scoop and she happily played in the dirt for hours. Literally, she was outside for 3 1/2 hours, and came inside filthy but had a wonderful time.
