FW Main Street and TCU Easter Egg Hunt

Two posts in one weekend, who am I? I'm actually tearing myself away from the couch in front of the TV or a book in bed (even though I am utterly exhausted) so that I can update via blog our last two busy days in Fort Worth.

Yesterday, we enjoyed walking around Fort Worth's Main Street Arts Festival for a few hours. While there, we enjoyed some music in Sundance Square accompanied by some tasty Reata tamales, dip 'n dots, apples w/ caramel & pecans, and of course lots and lots of artwork. There were some lovely pieces, many of which were out of my price range, as well as some pretty jewelry that I didn't look to closely at because I really don't need anything new right now.  We walked down to the creative kids area for the first time in forever, but most of the activities are just about 6 months- yr above Ryan's age right now.  I really think next year he will enjoy more of the painting, molding, coloring, face painting, etc. We let Ryan run around a little bit, but it was pretty hard with how crowded it got, so he was rather frustrated to be cooped up in the stroller. Here are a few photos in Sundance Square as he enjoyed dancing to country music.

Today, after church we headed over to Fort Worth once again for the TCU Picnic and Easter Egg Hunt. It was so very windy, but we were able to scarf down some chicken salad sandwiches, tomato and mozzarella salad, fruit, and drinks. (and cheetos for Ryan) Next, we headed over to the Easter Egg area and Ryan got his picture taken with the Easter bunny. I thought for sure he would throw a fit about the bunny, but he was IN LOVE! It was absolutely adorable. He would turn around and look at her face and smile and say "hi" and lean into her for a hug. I think he enjoyed touching her soft furry hands too. Anyways, he threw a huge fit when I made him get off her lap for the actual Easter Egg hunt. Too funny! He really wasn't too interested in the Egg hunt today either, but sat next to his basket and would pick up an egg, bite it, then throw it on the ground. He didn't want to stand at all, just sit. We wound up with 4 eggs, 2 cups and a ducky bath toy, but it was pretty cut-throat out there for being a 3 and under group... Cousin Charlie kindly shared one of his extra stuffed animals with us that was of a pig with bunny ears- very cute! Cousin Naomi also joined us at the Easter Egg hunt and I think she enjoyed simply walking everywhere which is a new skill she has definitely mastered. After the eggs Ryan sat on the bunny's lap two more times and we visited with friends before heading over to my Aunt Kristi's house to visit for an hour.  From there, Ryan stayed with Nana and Grandaddy and Mike and I went to our Lifegroup from 4-6pm followed by picking Ryan up and heading home. Quite a busy day. Easter will be pretty crazy as well, then I think we might have a less crazy weekend headed our way- THANK GOODNESS! Here are the Easter Hunt pictures:
