PAMOM Spring Fling

This past weekend my mom's group had their annual Spring Fling. We missed it last year (it fell on the twins' birthday party) so I really wanted to get out to the fling this year. It's a great little place out in the country and not too far from us. There would be egg hunts, pony rides, dogs and real bunnies to look at, snacks, swings, ponds, even hay rides. It was sure to be a great time!

As you might imagine, I don't catch the weather often and so the last time I saw the weather it was supposed to be warm and about 87 degrees this day. But it had changed apparently since I last saw it. It was really breeze and chilly that morning. We show up in short sleeve shirts, carpi's, and no jackets. We all get out and realize just how cold it was. John quickly mentioned I wouldn't be getting any mother of the year awards as we were the only one's in short sleeve shirts, let alone carpi's. Everyone else had bundled their little ones up in jackets and sweaters. Hmmm.

Okay, we didn't actually make it to the hayride, but we did stop to check out the tractor on our way in.

We got there promptly at 10 and dropped off our eggs for the egg hunt. Then it was off to see the bunnies and dogs until it was time for our egg hunt. The kids had fun and really enjoyed the animals. So far they didn't seem to mind the cold.

Next we were up for the egg hunt. For Abby it was all about the hunt. After she filled her basket, she dumped all her eggs out and started again. Jake quickly became bored with his stuff and wanted more of a challenge. He kept trying to hop the fence to hunt in the 5 year old area. Me and Lily just chilled.

And they're off!

This is too easy! I need a challenge.

We kept trying to get our photo with the Easter bunny too, but Abby was terrified of him. She'd ask for him, but as soon as he'd get within 5 feet, she'd scream. So, we don't have any pictures with the Easter bunny this year, but we did get photos with a real bunny (in a cage :-).

After the egg hunt we set over to the ponies to ride them. The line was long and the cold wind had finally gotten to Abby. She had a huge melt down and we had to pack up and leave just before it was our turn. Oh well, Jake had fun looking at the horses in line :-)
