Easter Egg Hunt 2016

Our Easter started out cloudy with a few sprinkles and a bit cold. Happy that we dressed appropriately so I wasn't worried about getting cold. I also even brought a change of clothes for Riley which I only pack an extra outfit when we're gone for most of the day.
Riley had fallen asleep on our drive to the farm.

At first we hesitated to wake him because we didn't want him to wake up grumpy. Jacob gently nudged his arm and after about a minute he finally woke up and as he looked around he realized we were at the farm and was eager to see all the farm animals.

One of the cool things about spring is that besides seeing trees and flowers in bloom we also get to see lots of baby animals.

These little guys were only six days old. They are so cute when they're babies but once they grow up these guys are kinda funky looking.

Then these little ducks didn't want to be held at all. All they wanted to do was to squeeze themselves between these hay bales.

After feeding this mama goat a couple of times then as we tried to feed the white goat, we quickly realized that this black one is a straight bully. Whenever we attempted to feed the white one the black one would headbutt the white one on it's side or they would both butt heads. So we figured that if we distracted the black one then we could feed the white one.

Then this baby goat came by and it was obvious that this was black mama goats kid. She had no problem with us feeding it.

After a while we decided to move along. We've had enough of that black goat bully.  We found more and quite enjoyed feeding them all. At one point Riley wasn't careful, he got too close and one goat grabbed the feed bag. Riley didn't know what to do but good thing Jacob was close by and was able to snatch it back.

Then the same thing happened to a lady and her two little girls but when it happened the lady had a look of complete fright on her face, it was quite funny. She even ran towards one of the farm workers to let them know about it, LOL! wow! We were cracking up.

Looks like Nathan is feeding the goat one oat at a time. That's funny. Guess he didn't want to get slobber all over his hand.

Lattin's had several food trucks on sight. We got ourselves smoked bbq pulled pork sandwiches. They were seriously delicious! I can still remember my first bite. It immediately brought back memories of when we lived in TX and being out in the country. We loved it!! I also had nachos and this time I did bring my own jalapeños. Ah!!! Everything was so good!

Shortly after we were done eating it was getting time to do the Easter egg hunt. There were so many kids. Riley was SO ready. He said he was gonna go super fast so he could get to them all before everyone else, lol. He's so cute and funny.
These next two pictures I completely love. I just LOVE his little smile and seeing him so happy.

Aw, what a sweetheart!

So as soon as the horn blew -off they all went. Several 5 year olds crossed over to the big kids side. I got so nervous that I sprinted right behind him, trying to catch up to him. Good thing he didn't get bumped by one of the big kids.

Unfortunately, he wasn't able to get many eggs. He was a little disappointed about it. It was funny too because of what he had said just before the egg hunt began. Jacob and I couldn't stop laughing {of course, not in front of him}. I wish I had taken a picture of him after the egg hunt was over so I could post a before & after picture. You guys would have cracked up.
Phew, glad that commotion was over.

It was still early in the day so I told Jacob that we should go to the park right next to the marina. I wanted to be next to the water and also so Riley could run and climb and get himself worn out before driving back home.
I saw several house boats. I don't think I would want to live in one. Probably be nauseous 24/7.

Later on in the evening Jacob and Riley dyed a few eggs. I just like to observe. Never really been a fan of engaging in this kind of activity.

After discussing our day both Jacob and I agreed that this was our last time going to Lattin's for the Easter egg hunt. Maybe next year we'll go to a different place or maybe just go to one of the islands and hang out all day by the water and possibly do our own egg hunt in the sand instead.
It's just that overcrowded places are not our thing.
