Nothing Says Easter Like Jousting

I must admit- I was feeling a little blue leading into Easter. First big holiday away from home and all. But then, while checking the mail I notice a box. A box for ME!!! Thanks sooo much to Dawn for sending us a little Easter gift. It really made my week :) 

It was so sweet (literally!) and we all had fun eating the yummies and modeling the bunny ears :)

And *somebody* even enjoyed snacking on the Easter grass lol

If you look closely at the picture below you can see the sweetest little humming bird perched among the pink flowers

For our Easter festivities we walked over to Gas Works Park and picked up some Subway on the way for a little picnic. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time. 

 

While we ate our sandwiches and looked out over Lake Union, a musician came up and was doing a photo shoot so we got serenaded by some AWESOME acoustic guitar music while we were eating. It was perfect!! 

I had a major cute attack watching this little girl run up the hill to her mommy. They were both all decked out in Easter's finest, and having a picnic on the hill. Cute overload!! 

I guess the park used to be where the gas company was, so they basically just painted and secured all the old equipment and now it's a playground, or something. 

Ah, the jousters.... I have no idea what is going on here, but it was interesting and made for a great photo opp! 

This is a statue in Fremont (right by where we live) and someone always dresses them up. Every few days it's a new outfit... I thought their Easter attire was especially cute! 

That night we went to Kletia's apartment to have some amazing food and meet her friends. We had a great time but I only took one pic. This is her cat Venus with Peter, and you can see Kletia cooking in the background. We had a really fun night, and I wish I would have taken more pictures! 

Hope everyone had a Great "American" Easter weekend! Orthodox Easter is actually this weekend :)
