Our annual neighborhood Easter Festival was yesterday and we all had a really fun time. There were pony rides, train rides, a petting zoo, bounce houses and carnival games. This year we had a special treat, too...the Easter Bunny!
Jackson is a big fan and ran right over to him. He gave the Easter Bunny a big hug and then took some pictures with him. 
Waiting with his cousin for her egg hunt to begin.
Jackson was definitely on "Team Madison" during her hunt. He ran around like crazy, collecting tons of eggs, holding them in his shirt and then dumping them in her basket. It was funny and sweet of him to help her out, but we did have him put some back out for all of the little ones who weren't so lightning quick!
We lost sight of J for a sec and of course my heart always skips a beat when that happens. Never fear, though, he was just hanging out with the pole. Thank goodness!
Memaw and Poppy came to the festival this year, too, and were nice enough to offer to stand in the really long line for the pony so that J and M could ride.
While they were in line, Jackson was busy doing other fun things, like feeding this pot belly pig.
Maddie was checking out the cute little chick. I must say, she was more gentle with it than her cousin. Must be a boy thing.
Then it was time for Jackson's egg hunt. Here's a shot of all the kids anxiously awaiting the start. I went out there to get this picture and Jackson made a break for it. He began running full speed ahead for me and accidentally created a big false start! 
When it was time for the real deal, this big guy got lots of eggs and suckers. What a difference a year makes! Last year we were hustling around like crazy just trying to get 3 or 4 eggs.
After the hunt, it was time for his turn on the pony. 
Then it was on over to enjoy the "decorate a cookie" station. Check out his hair. It was unbelieveably windy!
After chowing down on a good sprinkle filled iced cookie, we took a turn on the train. It was really fun for J and M and I especially loved it because I actually got to sit down:)
The last thing of the day was to go bounce for a bit. These two kiddos love some good bouncing. Maddie would fall down and hop back up every time saying "I ok, I ok."
All bounced out. What a great afternoon! Thanks both families for spending the day with us.
