Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter.  The secret?  We skipped church!  (Don't tell.)  We headed out to World's End in Hingham.  Wonderful, wonderful.

We started with a picnic (biscuits and ham, naturally).

Then we flew our kite.

Egg hunting with green eggs that are actually hidden is a lot more work than picking up bright, plastic eggs from a mown lawn.  The girls adapted nicely.

Then we flew our kite.

This was cool, a sort of mirrored spiral.  The girls thought it was brilliant.

I persuaded Chandler not to get wet so we wouldn't be hauling a miserable child on the long walk back to the car.  An Easter miracle!  (I'm not kidding either.  She's been an ornery little critter the past couple weeks.  Throwing stuff, shrieking, stamping.  So very pleasant.)

A really successful Easter.  I doubt we'll let ourselves skip Easter services two years in a row, but maybe we'll learn to embrace the Easter vigil?  Five year olds like the Easter vigil, right?
