Cruisin' to the park

For Christmas Jackson's Grandma and Papa bought him a 'car'.  Now that the snow has melted we decided it was time to go cruisin'.  We cruised around the block to the neighborhood park where Jackson discovered the slides, swings, and sand.

 Taking it off road.

 We made it to the park!

The 1st Easter Egg Hunt

Today I took Jackson to his 1st Easter egg hunt.  I had pictured it oh so perfectly.  Jackson would look so cute in his pastel clothes.  He would hold my hand and waddle to an egg on a warm sunny day.  Then he'd wonder what it was, pick it up and stick it in his mouth to farther investigate.  He would be happy.  I would get a picture of the kids picking up their eggs gracefully.  A mom would volunteer to take a picture of me helping Jackson find an egg.  And another of Jackson sitting in the grass happily playing with his plastic egg. 

hahahahhaha!  Sometimes my imagination gets a little carried away.  So here's the real story...

Jackson woke up slightly grumpy once we arrived at the park only to be tussled around in order to get a hat, shoes, and two more layers of clothing on.  Because in reality it was cloudy and 39 degrees! 

We waiting a couple minutes until the egg hunt began.  Everyone was suppose to be able to get 6 or 7 eggs. The buzzer sounded and the hunt was completed 60 seconds later.  No joke!

 Jackson only got one egg.

  I tried to pose him for pictures but he decided otherwise.

  It was far from the story in my imagination but an adventure all the same!
