Two years ago we went to the Homestead with our family and my parents. We loved it. We went again this year. We loved it again! When we went two years ago, Maura found the Golden Egg at the egg hunt at the Owners Club. She was determined to find it again this year. As we checked in, she told the receptionist, "I am going to get the golden egg." I was nervous. What if she did not find it? I tried to prepare her for it.. you know, all the eggs have treats in them... even if you don't get the golden egg, it can still be fun... there is a silver egg??
Well, no need to worry, she got it. And so did Mags and B. They were thrilled. They got the big Easter basket with toys, candy, books, water bottles... it was the basket of all baskets. While we were "searching" for eggs, standing among all these colored eggs, I said to Mags, why aren't you picking up any eggs? She replied that she was searching for the golden egg. No time to waste picking up all the other ones!! Ryan was not as lucky. His age group was very aggressive and was only able to get 2 eggs!! Wow. That is some competitive egg hunting!
But more importantly, we had a great weekend with family. It was relaxing and fun, exciting and old fashion fun. I loved it. It took a while for me to relax and realize we were on vacation, but once I did, it was great! The kids went swimming every day and loved it. I think that was Ryan's favorite part of the weekend. We played on the playground; we went to the movies, a magic show, church, afternoon tea. We hiked, we hid eggs, went to two hunts, got balloon animals, played hide and seek, "swam" in the hot tub. It was a great Easter weekend. I hope we get to do it again next year, even worth the 7 hour drive!
