Then the grown up kids (my generation) had a hunt of their own. My aunt and uncle are always so creative with this. We had to do a 10 word word-search finding words that described us. But we didn't know what the words were - just had to find them. Then had to put all the words in alphabetical order and take one letter from each of the words to create another two word clue that would tell us where our prize was! Our prize was 10 scratch off lotto tickets! Nathan and I won as we found ours first. AND we won because we got the most money on the scratch offs... $7.
After a super yummy dinner most everyone ventured out to the front yard for an impromptu game of baseball and golf. Logan of course was totally dressed for the golfing portion of the show. He was SUCH a doll baby all day. I could seriously not get enough of him!
He was totally stuck, but I had to take pictures before rescuing him. lol
LOVE the above picture because it captures something that is SO Logan. 90% of the time the boy is on his feet he is running somewhere. And 90% of THAT time is spent yelling AHHHHH!!!! My mom says we'll have to work on that if he ever hopes of being a track star. Not sure the competition would like a yelling boy next to them! LOL But love that this picture totally gets my yelling running boy.
On a NOT so happy Easter Sunday note. Logan had two pretty scary moments throughout the day. I am thanking God for my husband more than you can even know. And I'm also thanking God I didn't witness either situation. The first happened shortly before dinner. Logan was pretty hungry so I made him a half sandwich with peanut butter. I guess he took too big of a bite and started choking on it. He couldn't breath and Nathan who was holding him at the time noticed and was able to reach in there and pull it out. Nathan was pretty shook up, but Logan just smiled and took another bite.
The second was outside when the party was winding down. Most everyone had left and Logan was the only little one there. I was on the porch talking to my mom and aunt when all of a sudden my aunt screams. I look up just in time to see Nathan turn around holding Logan and a car, which had slammed on it's brakes take off again. Logan clearly doesn't understand what a road is. He just wanted daddy to chase him. THANK THE LORD that the driver was paying attention and Nathan grabbed Logan in the nick of time. I didn't see the actual interaction, just the aftermath of Nathan walking up - putting Logan down and breathing very deeply to calm his nerves. Logan of course was laughing. Needless to say this is something we are going to be working on a great deal this summer. I DO NOT want my son to run into the road thinking it is funny.
Those were the only negative parts to our day, but it certainly made us hug our boy a little tighter and I was so thankful to Nathan - he is a wonderful father and just went further in proving how amazing he truly is.
