Eggs, Bunnies, and Trains

We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! We definitely did! Personally, I think we need more holidays that can be used as a bribe for good behavior. Saying "I am going to call the Easter Bunny and tell him not to come" worked just as well as it did with Santa! Terrible, I know, but very effective when dealing with a toddler with a very independent and moody streak!! Camryn was really looking forward to the Easter Bunny coming and "hiding eggs for me to find." She had an Easter Egg hunt at school, so she was really looking forward to finding eggs here on Easter and thought it was really cool that the Easter Bunny would be hiding them. We were hoping to take her to a community egg hunt on Saturday, but the weather was definitely working against us that day because it rained all day. Because we didn't get to do that, we decided to have another surprise for her after she found her basket and eggs on Easter. Daddy made a yummy breakfast for all of us and we were off to her surprise. The Strasburg Railroad has a special Easter Bunny train ride complete with the Easter Bunny as a passenger. It is a vintage coal burning steam train and Camryn was extremely excited as soon as she found out we were going to ride the real train. She was all smiles while we were waiting for the train to arrive back in the station and when we boarded. She got a real kick out of the train whistle, seeing the Easter Bunny (especially since she got a lollipop), and watching the scenery pass by the windows. It was fun for all of us and it is always more special to see it through her eyes.

There are many more pictures on the website as well. Enjoy!!
