Every once in a while we like to do things with just one of the kiddos. To give them some one on one attention from either Scott or I. So on Sunday, April 1st (while Katie was at home napping with Scott) I took Mikey to the park a few blocks away from our place called Carl Schurz Park. They throw a free Easter Party every year.
This particular year they held it on Sunday (Saturday festivities were rained out) and it was still a little cloudy, so the crowds weren't as crazy as they usually are (or so I was told).
Mikey and I had so much fun! They held 3 separate egg hunts. The nice thing about these egg hunts was that you didn't really have to hunt for the eggs, as they just threw the thousands of bright plastic eggs on top of the brown tan bark. Mikey didn't quite understand at first and so he just decided to help spread the eggs around by kicking them. It was only after he discovered that some eggs had candy in them that he really got into it! We came home with about 40 eggs filled with candy, stickers, stamps, bunny finger puppets, bubbles, egg necklaces. Mikey even got to decorate his own little easter egg bag. (We did not wait in the hour long line to get his face painted!) Here are just a few pics from our egg hunting. Of course our outting wasn't complete without taking the hatchet to some trees.

| Okay - they are all spread out now. On your mark! |
 |
| Ok, here we go! |
 |
| His basket filled and his mouth filled with a tootsie roll. |
 |
| Drool. |
 |
| He requested I take his picture by this tree. Cute. I. Know. |
 |
| Before we left he spend a few more minutes, doing what he does best! |
