Ryan's Easter Fun!

 

I had a busy week last week, yes, but I think Ryan may have had an even busier one. He worked all day every day, attended so many things with me in the evenings, and then had to be up super early on Saturday morning to work some special events happening at Swiss Village.

                They planned a 5K for Saturday morning, and Ryan had to leave home at 6:30 in the morning to get to his assigned post. About 30 seconds before he walked out the door, there was a dazzling display of lightning and an impressive clap of thunder. It had already been pouring for a while, and I know I wasn’t eager to send him out into the storm!

                He bundled up in as much waterproof/water resistant clothing as he could find and headed out to see if the race could actually even happen. By race time, the rain had slowed and the storms were gone, so they had the race. Certainly not ideal running conditions, but they were able to have it!

                Meanwhile, Lexi and I stayed home watching Hallmark movies and catching up on a week’s worth of emails and blogs and journal entries and everything else that fell by the wayside during Holy Week.

                He came home after the race to change into dry clothes, since he was soaked, and then he went back to help with the easter egg hunt! It was supposed to be outside, but they moved it inside because of the wet grass and mud.

                I think it was a little chaotic, but still fun for the parents and kids. And Ryan had a chat with the Easter Bunny, so that was fun!

                Ryan’s job was to do line control at the prize table. Have you ever tried corralling kids at a prize table? Ha!

                There was a food truck, too! We hadn’t eaten from this one before, but Ryan brought home some sandwiches for us, and they were tasty.

                Ryan may or may not have also found Lexi and me still on the couch, still in jammies (just me), still working on catch-up games.

                And then…they rested.

                Ryan said it was a really fun day, even though the weather was not ideal. And I was beyond thankful for a few hours of rest before Easter Sunday!
