The bunny arrived

Easter at our house was a return to tradition. It has been several years since I had to assist the easter guy, showing him where to hide eggs. I offered him some spots that were easy and some that were not so simple. The 32 year old blonde visiting our house needed help with a couple of finds. AND, if the original count was correct, AND the dogs only ate one, we have two yet to find. We may find those when the wind  blows, they will surely rot soon in the AZ sun and heat. For Luis and Parker, it was the first time following jelly bean trails and picking up eaggs. Not sure who enjoyed it more of the three and I have to say Sandy and I loved our roles in the hunt.

We found a church by trial and error and enjoyed the experience as well. The newly appointed pastor was friendly, told jokes about the pearly gate admission process, and seemed to be genuine. Parker seemed to enjoy the back of the church more than the front, but made it through with minimal whimpering.

Then it was off to lunch at Pappadeaux's. Cajun seafood is hardly traditional Easter fare, but it was great, with a super nice wait person named Kayla. Parker found the resident Easter Bunny to be very nice and enjoyed being transformed to a cat by the face painters on duty.

We enjoyed the afternoon sun, watched a little golf, found the pool inviting for Parker and his mom (they have enjoyed it a couple of time before) and chased those elusive eggs.

I trust that all reading this enjoyed the holiday.

P.S. Two little girls made me follow an ice cream truck last week. Their pictures are included. They were amazed that dream bars are still served.
Today sees some work in store for me, but I am still a spending time with Parker and Brenna, since they have only about a week until they end the AZ adventure. Still plan some more travel, Brenna and I hope Parker will allow time for a quick golf game, and then we will see what else we have time to do.

  1. We have since found the last two eggs - so no stink leftover for the Phoenix Easter Bunny. :)

  2. We haven't heard any "dribble" for a while now. What's going on in AZ?! :)
