We attended what was supposed to be an Easter egg hunt hosted by a family in the ward. Everyone and anyone was welcomed to join. We Unfortunately were running late due to Lorelei getting hungry last minute. :p When we did get there Riley did not care much for the hunt or the Bunny. Instead the play structure was the main attraction. Eventually, but not without a fight we pried him away from the playground to see a fire truck! (Brother Reynolds works with a reality firm that owns this retired fire truck. He brings it to the Halloween ward event every year as well. The kids get to take rides on it!) Thinking Riley would be excited to see a firetruck Brandon started to walk him over. As you can see we hardly even got close to it when the tears erupted. Riley is defensively backing away...
Not even his friend Abby could coax him onto the fire truck.
Although Riley did not want to get onto that fire truck Brandon did. So Brandon being the big kid that he is went to get onto the truck. Riley ran screaming behind him "no daddy!" He grabbed onto Brandon's leg and held onto him for dear life. Eventually Brandon pulled him onto the the Fire Engine and away they went. I wish I had a picture of them together, but unfortunately my batteries died. Well it suffices to say he enjoyed the ride, but freaked out again as soon as his little feet hit the ground. Easter the next day was not as traumatic. Riley enjoyed his plastic eggs of Jelly beans and took a close liking to his chocolate bunny.
Here he is finding an egg.....
Discovering what's inside.........
and showing off what he thought was a "new toy bunny."
And where was Lorelei during all the festivities, you may ask?!?!? Well, she was just hanging out in her own little world.
