More Easter Fun for Kids

It’s a rare year that our Easter weather is actually spring-like. Typically, April in Wisconsin is not the time to be putting away winter jackets and boots (that doesn’t come until July). However, this Easter might just be decent after all. If the Weather Channel is right, we should be waking up to chocolate bunnies, sunny skies, and temps in the 50s on Easter morning.

We’ve also had a lot of Easters where we had more than a few inches of snow. Most of the time we put on our coats and snow boots and go outside anyway, and joke that it would have been harder to find the eggs if we’d left them white! During one snowy Easter we found out that dyed eggs leave a little bit of color behind in the snow. … Continue reading →
