Easter "Egg"stravaganza

Pretty clever, eh? Anywho, this was a different Easter for us. Jason is on his last 4 week rotation away from home and of course he was on-call the weekend of Easter so this translates to Angela and Navie going to stay with him in his hotel. But before he left we dyed Easter eggs. This was the first year I suppose that we used the term, "dye" and Navie was a bit confused about what we were doing. It was a great time. These 2 don't always work together for ideal pictures. Before Navie and I headed to spend the weekend with Dad we had a quaint little egg hunt with our good friends here. The kids were excellent finders and the candy was enjoyed by all. We also decorated some delicious Easter egg sugar cookies. Then we loaded up the car and began the 2-hour trek. And it was an Easter miracle, there was no traffic in Tampa on the way there. It was the most wonderful drive out to Spring Hill EVER!! Saturday we went to see the real mermaids at Weeki Wachee Spring. It was awesome!! Unfortunately I didn't capture the best moments but you get the gist. After the breaktaking underwater show, we also enjoyed a walk down the path of tranquility (something like that) and went on a cruise down the beautiful water. And we saw a handful of peacocks.

Then we needed a litttle Texas Roadhouse to get us through the rest of the day. It was delish and festively decorated.

Next we hit Target and found a lovely spring dress for Navie. It was so great just to walk around Target (polk county life is tough). Sunday I apparently forgot we had a camera because I took no pictures whatsoever. But Navie had a great time finding eggs in the hotel room (over and over again). It was a relaxing day and we watched videos about the Savior's atonement. But it ended all too quickly and it was time to part ways. But it was a lovely Easter in it's own way.
