Church Picnic

Our church Easter picnic was the day after our excursion to see Thomas the Tank Engine. We had a picture perfect day for cooking out, hunting eggs, and just playing outside.

Corbin had lots of fun hunting Easter eggs. He'd had plenty of practice over the previous couple of weeks at home. Farland told all the kids (the under 4 group was separate from the big kids) to just get 12 to make sure everyone got plenty. I noticed Corbin counting his eggs midway through the hunt and realized he had actually listened to the instructions and was following them! He stopped at 12 all by himself. Once all the kids reached a dozen Farland told them to get them all, so we came home with plenty.

There was a bounce house again, and this time

Corbin got in. Mommy or Daddy had to hold his

hands through the doorway, but at least he jumped

this time. It does make me a little sad when 18-

month-olds will do something Corbin is too afraid

to try.

We also played on the playground a little and made plans to go to the zoo next weekend with some friends.
