The next day, Saturday, we hit the Lava bunny festival. They had the greatest toys at the egg hunt. Each egg had candy and some had a ticket. The kids then traded tickets for prizes. They got loaded up. 
We successfully wore them out after a long day at the pool. Each kid fell asleep on a couch except Dalton. Even all 4 parents crashed out. In my eyes its is always a great day if there is a nap involved (just to rare these days ;)
Sunday was Easter and after getting home quite late Saturday night, we were exhausted but still accomplished the egg/bunny task. The boys each got 2 outfits and something to play baseball with--a bat, bat bag, and throw back net. They also got candy and little toys. Afterwards we finally got around to dying eggs, which was fun as always.
My mom got each of the grand kids some church clothes. My cousin Abbie said they looked like Jelly Beans walking down the road. They looked very handsome either way. Mom also got Shane a shirt and tie and me a dress so we had to take a family photo outside before heading off to church.
And finally, this is how we are spending our evenings for the next couple or few months. Braxton started comp baseball this year and he LOVES it. He plays shortstop and 3rd most of the time, but at this game he got to pitch one inning (which made me very nervous). He did quite well. Some of the other teams are WAY intense and above our league but our boys are having fun and really learning a lot. We had our first double header of many ahead, it was long but I enjoy watching. There is also a park right next to the bleachers so the little boys do quite well. He plays for 2 1/2 months then Dakota starts for the next couple months (as well as soccer in between). It is going to be a long spring/summer for baseball, but I guess this is what we signed up for having 3 boys.
Braxton, Ridge, Dalton, Cam, Dakota, Gunnar

Braxton's pitching form looks great! Good luck with all the madness.
