Spring Break...Celebrating Easter...

This was our 4th year in a row celebrating Easter at the Williamsburg KOA. It was fun to have some additional visitors in tow with us. In true Easter weekend tradition the kids decorated eggs. Always a fun time. 

The campground once again had a petting zoo brought in. Luckily this year Harper wasn't as terrified of the animals. It's so sweet seeing all those farm animals just chilling and getting all kinds of love and attention. 

On Easter morning the boys were thrilled to see that once again the Easter Bunny found them at the campground. There was chocolate, and candy, and books and video games - perfectly curated baskets for two well deserving boys. 

After a pancake breakfast, Kathleen, Adam and I headed back to Busch Gardens (again, it's an Easter tradition!) while Mark took a drive to Sand Bridge for a little walk down memory lane, and Andy took Harper and Olivia out for a boat ride. Everyone was doing exactly what they wanted to do - what could be better!? 

We all came back together for an epic Easter egg hunt. The kids had a blast and we then topped off the evening - and our spring break - with some delicious Easter pizza! :) What could be better!? 

Another spring break in the books - what will we do next year!? 

Spring Break 2018 - Easter...

We had another awesome Easter at the Williamsburg KOA. The boys woke up early and anxious to find out what the Easter Bunny had brought for them. Their baskets were "hiding" outside on our table and contained all kinds of goodies. Adam was excited to get the new Star Wars movie and lots of candy and Harper was really pumped about his bubble leaf blower toy - and opening all the plastic eggs over and over. The little joys of childhood. 

As per tradition we then spent much of the day at Bush Gardens. The weather was beautiful and it wasn't too crowded. We hit all our favorite rides - some more than once thanks to the magic of the "child swap" rule. We also introduced Harper to the log flume - he loved it up until the big drop - and then refused to go again. Oops. Adam of course was dying to go a second time so we let him go by himself for the first time - I'll admit I was a little nervous but he survived and was all smiles - big kid! He also insisted on going on Mach Tower by himself - since I certainly had no desire to ride that thing again - and afterwards begged Andy to go on it a second time with him - luckily he agreed. 

Once we were back at the campground it was time for an Easter Egg Hunt - Harper was really into it this year and was so cute watching him find all the eggs. Adam still plays along though I worry we're getting close to him outgrowing this tradition - booo - though perhaps he'll simply become the egg hider. :) 

We had planned to get all dressed in our Easter best and go out to dinner like we'd done the year before but after a long day we all agreed staying put and ordering pizza was just so much more appealing. May not have been the most traditional of Easter meals - but we were together as a family that's really all that matters. 

Another awesome Spring Break is in the books - life on the road and in the camper is just such a great escape from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives - will always cherish these trips and the memories made.
