This past weekend, Peep, Gracie and I drove north to visit Lee's house to see her and the rest of our friends and family. We had so much fun! It was Easter egg time, and that meant lots of candy and playing and laughing! Just wait until you see!
Look! Look! There was candy. Oh so much candy!
 |
| That's a LOT of candy! |
Peep met other Peeps!
There was a purple one...
 |
| Hi! My name is Peep, too! |
And there were yellow ones!
 |
| Little yellow Peeps all in a row! |
Peep had never met other Peeps before! They didn't much look like dinosaurs, but Peep thought they must be related anyway. Gracie and I thought so, too.
Then Peep spied one in a very pretty yellow egg. He remembered when we were baking and wanted a little chicken friend!
 |
| Hello! Will you be my friend? |
But, then very suddenly, Lee announced there would be an Easter egg hunt!
Everyone decided that I should be a grown-up, so I got to help hide the eggs. Lee and Al and I went out to the backyard and tried to hide the eggs in really good hiding spots. We hid them up high and down low and everywhere in between!
When they were all hidden, it was time for Alice, Aerin and Jared to come hunt for them.
Peep and Gracie didn't know what an Easter egg hunt was, so they decided to watch and see what happened. They were so excited!
They hopped and bounced to see what they could see. Gracie tossed Peep on her back so he could get a better view.
 |
| Can you see? I can't see... |
Rats! They still couldn't see everything! So Gracie clambered up into a tree and Peep climbed up onto the porch railing. They're so brave to be up so high, don't you think?
 |
| Hellooooo down there! |
 |
| Oh, look! Is there an egg under there? |
They looked everywhere for eggs! There is one right in the picture below - can you see it? Peep can!
 |
| The eggs could be anywhere! |
Then we saw Jared looking at something in the brambles and leaves. Did he find an egg? Peep watched closely.
 |
| There might be something there... |
But Jared left again! Why? What had Jared been looking at? Gracie whispered that we should go see what it was! Peep hopped down off the porch and scampered through the grass.
 |
| I see something! |
There were brambles everywhere with sharp thorns. Only someone really small could crawl through without getting stuck. Good thing Peep is so small!
Peep inched closer and closer. Then...
 |
| I found one! I found one! |
Peep crawled in and got it!
Peep got his own Easter egg! But what's inside?
 |
| Peep's first Easter egg! |
We all cheered for Peep! Even Gracie hopped up and down in the tree! (But very carefully so she wouldn't fall, of course.)
Peep rolled it over to the porch and we helped him open it.
 |
| Chocolate! My favorite! |
Then we all went inside to eat some candy and laugh and play!
Gracie and Peep had such a good time investigating the candy. There were jellybeans...
 |
| Swimming in jellybeans! |
And there were malted milk eggs...
 |
| These look very tasty! |
And there were little peanut butter-filled chocolate eggs!
 |
| Mmhrummphmm... |
 |
| Nomnnhhmphmnnin....nhhmmmph...mmmm... |
 |
| MmmmmMMHHPHmmmm....mhphnmmnomnomnom... |
 |
| BURP! |
Gracie thought she'd found the best treat in the world, and Peep went to go see what it was.
 |
| Mmmphumphghmmmmhmmm...munnomnom... |
I think Peep agreed!
Happy Easter Egg Hunting Day!
