On Easter weekend we had a visitor - Pop (as Lincoln has shortened his name from Poppa Don). Cory's dad came up to visit for Thursday through Saturday and we stayed busy the whole time he was here. Friday night we took Lincoln and Pop to their first Razorback baseball game. Lincoln did pretty good at the game. He sat in his chair people watching for the first 4 innings with no problem. It helped that there were 2 little girl "cheerleaders" sitting a few rows behind us to keep his interest. However, around the 4th inning he saw "Rippy" the baseball mascot and he was trying everything he could to get to the mascot. So we decided to go on a walk to try and find the mascot so Lincoln could meet him. We finally got close enough to get his picture with him. Lincoln was giddy with excitement to be so close. Rippy even signed Lincoln's baseball. His excitement is easily seen through his wide eyes.
Saturday morning we went to local church for their helicopter egg drop. Lincoln LOVES "airpanes" so this event did not disappoint. Most of the eggs were already out but the helicopter dropped a few more.
The Easter egg hunt was CROWDED. So, needless to say Lincoln only ended up with two eggs. I guess we need to work on picking up eggs a little bit more quickly! Each egg had a tootsie roll in them and he thought he had won the lottery. It was his first time to have a tootsie roll and he ate them as though he was a veteran!
Since the Easter egg hunt was somewhat of a flop for Lincoln (although he really did not know it was a flop) we decided to do a little hunt for him in our backyard after church on Sunday. He was so excited to hunt for the eggs but even more excited that there was candy inside!
We had a great weekend and look forward to Easter next year with TWO little ones!
