This year for Easter our family along with my Dad went up to visit my sister Carrie and her family in South Carolina. We left Thursday night after work and drove to Savannah GA. I really wanted to get a good picture of Savannah with a big ole sign in downtown Savannah but we were staying about 15 miles outside the area and it was just too late to do any additional sightseeing! So this pic of her at the hotel will have to suffice until we can get to Savannah again :)
Friday morning we got up and drove the remainder of the trip and got to Carrie's just in time for a horrible rain storm! We spent most of Friday eating and hanging out. We gave Chase (my nephew) his 1st birthday present!
The girls dyed Easter eggs and did some crafts to pass the time. They also explored the woods behind Carrie and Jack's house once the rain cleared out :)
Saturday we took some pictures of the kiddos in their matching Easter Egg Hunt attire and then were off to the church to hunt eggs!
The kids were grouped according to age and Savannah got the upper hand! She went with the group 3 and under and seeing as she's about a month shy of being 4, she swiped up an entire basket full of eggs in no time at all!
Poor Owen, he was strapped into the stroller the entire hunt. When you have three kids, someone has to sacrifice!!! That day, it was him :)
Kaitlyn had her hunt in a wooded area and she battled with scratchy bushes to get her eggs! What a tough chick!
After the hunt we dumped out all our candy and surveyed the goodies! Meanwhile, Chase was interested in a toy far bigger than Easter Eggs :)
Then it was off to the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia. Unfortunately it was a Saturday afternoon and was also Spring Break for the schools in the area so it was packed!! But we saw as much as four children would allow us to see and we all enjoyed it.
Poor Chase didn't see too much of the zoo! He was pooped!
After the zoo, we checked out Lake Murray. It was so hot that we didn't stay too long but it was really pretty!
Owen was so sweaty that I was able to give him a new hair style :)
Stay tuned for Part 2 of the trip!! We had so much fun, I couldn't get it all in one posting! :)
