Easter fun

DSC_2013
We decided to check out the annual Ahwatukee Easter Parade this year. It consisted of mostly local groups (even the local TEA party) and lots of girl scout troops (brownies and daisies included). One common theme though was the passing out of candy and easter eggs which Lauren loved.

Here's a dance studio with their own float.

The organizers of the free concert in the park series also had an Easter egg hunt. Here you can see Lauren and Cole hunting for eggs. There weren't too many kids in the 3 and under category.

Cole is enjoying all the loot he picked up. Turns out some of the eggs had money or gift certificates in them. We got four gift certificates for free frozen yogurt. Definitely beats jelly beans.

Pancake Art

DSC_1596_mod
We recently bought a pancake batter dispenser to be used for filling up mini cupcakes but since it was actually designed for pancakes, I thought I'd give it a try. I must admit I am not an artist and actually had a lot of trouble coming up with things to draw.

This was supposed to be a smiley face with two eyes but it looks more like an African soapstone sculpture.
