We spent Saturday morning at Middleton Place for their annual Easter Egg Hunt. We were very excited to see their new baby lambs. These little guys were born earlier this week. They were too cute!
Momma..
Cheesy pose for daddy...
Middleton is a really great place to visit. They have random animals roaming everywhere. Here come the goats...
After visiting the farm animals we found the Easter Bunny. Iris was SUPER excited to get her picture taken with him...
Isabella--not so much. I had to jump in with her...
After visiting with the bunny it was time for The Hunt. They "hid" real eggs. I couldn't believe it! Our kids were a little rough with them. Only a few made it home intact..
Zoning out....
More random animals--turtles...
and baby alligators. these little guys were everywhere and pretty close to where we hunted eggs. Kinda creepy!
Trying desperately to get a good pose out of them...
I so wanted a good picture of them on this bench. The setting and background were beautiful. All I got were cheesy smiles...
and squinted eyes. Oh well. They still look pretty cute though!
After the hunt we went to the stables and dyed our eggs in "natural" dyes,
made crafts (Iris' sheep egg),
and visited with the plantation "workers." Iris talked to these two about pottery forever. They would show her a piece with faces drawn on it and ask her what "expression" they were making. She did pretty good identifying each one as happy, sad, surprised etc.
After all that we had a picnic lunch with our neighbors and the girls enjoyed playing with their son, Will. Goofing off in the grass...
These three must have played Ring Around the Rosie a hundred times!
So Sweet!
