Before & After
The boys are to old to do the hunt now but Grandma and Grandpa always have a golden egg hidden for each grand kid so the boys had to find there own special egg. John usually has the honor of hiding these eggs and he has no mercy, last year Dustin's Egg was put into the burning barrel, this year.....The coffee pot! He was the last person to find his egg even after several clues his baby brother came in to help him out! John put it in where the filter and coffee grounds go. Problem was Dustin had no idea how to open it!
Gabe having fun with the Easter Grass that Tony and Dustin got all over the floor. I'm telling you this kid seriously can find joy in anything. He didn't find the Golden Egg but had just as much fun playing with the Easter Grass. 
Gabe counting his loot! He ending up finding $7.50 in quarters plus his Special Egg that had $5.00 in it. He also found two eggs that had 3 Tootsie Rolls in them which to tell you the truth he was more excited about that then he was the money!
Sissy with her Tootsie Roll bank that she brought to put all of her findings in.

Last year Dustin helped with coloring eggs. But this year he decieded that he was old for it so I've gone to doing this with 4 down to 2. We will wait to see if next year will be the year that Shenira thinks that she is to old for it too. I've never figured out that mind set as I myself will never be to old for!
As always you can't color eggs without getting the dye all over your hands. At least if you are a boy and four years old you can't! . We do very little at my new dinning room table that my Uncle Carl made for us as I'm so afraid that something is going to happen to it. So before we started I laid newspaper down to protect my beloved table, and then we went to town. Unfortunately the newspaper did not do the job. I about had a heart attack when I removed the newspaper and my table had blue dye all over it!!! I looked at my husband and said "quick google what will take out dye" so he did. Shaving Cream is now my new BEST FRIEND! It took every last bit of it out!
Here are the kids finished prizes on a cute new plate that I got from one of my aunts.
Here Gabe and Sarah are checking out the vendor table to see what goodies that could find to take home. 
Since this was Gabe's Birthday present he of course got to get the $10.00 bag of Cotton Candy which did thankfully come with the hat! We all had a great time getting our picture taken with the crazy hat.
This show was AMAZING. I would go to something like this even if I didn't have kids! Here is when they were doing Nemo's initiation at the top of Mount Wanna Hock a Luggy! (I'm sure I spelled some of that wrong but you get the point.)
One of Gabe's favorite part of Nemo is the Turtles. When they came out he went CRAZY. It was so much fun to just sit and watch him take this all in.
This was the pre-birthday boy after the show. Just in case your wondering....HE LOVED IT!
Showing off two of the presents that he got. He also got a cool Squirt Cup that had a slushy in it and a program that came with a disposable camera. He was so excited about the show that he never even fell asleep the entire way home.
On 3/6/10 It was time to head to the ship to set sail! I was so excited that I could hardly stand it. You would have thought that I was a little kid instead of a grown woman. I'm not sure if I was more excited about the trip or just the pure fact that I was getting to spend 8 entire uninterrupted days with my husband. No Cell Phones, No Computers and No Kids!
Once on board we headed to get some lunch. The first night was rough for me but after that I did well until Wednesday(more to come on that later). 
3/7/10 The temp were a little cooler that I would have liked but we enjoyed being out and soaking up as much sunlight as we could. This was a full day at sea and all went well. I finale got to enjoy our first dinner. 
3/8/10 Our first stop was Cabo. The first day we just went in and walked around and did a little shopping. There was a restaurant that allowed you to make calls to the USA for free if you ate there so we stopped for some chips and salsa and got to make our first call home to check on Gabe.
3/9/10 Day 2 in Cabo John went snorkeling. He loved this and can't wait to do it again sometime. I enjoyed watching everyone and taking lots of pictures. The water was WAY to cold for me and I was having a small problem with my leg.
3/10/10 This was another day at sea and if you can't tell in the picture above I was not having a good day this day. Winds were 50 mphs with swells coming in at 10-12 feet. This day was so rough at sea that 10 of the 18 friends that we went with didn't make it to dinner that night. I was glad that it wasn't just me that was having a hard time with it. John got me out of our room for about an hour and a half and I'm so glad that he did because if I hadn't gotten out I would have missed all of the these incredible dolphins that started following our boat! This was SO Awesome.
We went to the Blow Hole in Ensanada and a Mexican Market which was lots of fun. I got a new dress that I was able to wear on our last night on the ship.
This was our last dinner and last night on the ship. It was sad to see it end but we were both ready to get home to see our kids.
So until we return, I hope you all have a great week. 
After an afternoon of shopping we ate dinner at Steak N Shake. They have Shenira the kids meal packet so we decided that it was a must that she try on the hat. Here she is amusing us in full blow spirit. Ain't she pretty! I absolutely love taking her on trips with me and getting to do things one on one with her. What a great kid she is.
Thanks to some awful kids that had rented a room our hotel stay was awful (to much happened to even explain all I will say is that there was NO sleeping done that entire night and we checked out at 6:00AM). This however was the only bad part of our trip everything else was perfect and I can't wait until our next girls weekend away.
