Easter 2015

On Saturday, Quinn was able to participate in two Easter Egg hunts.  The first was at our apartment complex (it was inside with a lot of people in a small space, so I didn't take any pictures).  The second was at Montpelier Farms, where we usually go to navigate their corn maze each fall.  We also visited Santa here at Christmas.  We were able to meet the Easter Bunny and Chuck E. Cheese, see live animals, and play at the park in addition to hunting for eggs.  On Sunday after church, we drove to DE where Quinn was able to hunt for more Easter Eggs.  These eggs had puzzle pieces in them, and afterward, we completed the puzzle.  We had a wonderful day with our family!

He didn't want to leave the mouse.  I had to keep him from photo-bombing others' pictures.

The sidewalk chalk was a hit

Another Saturday in DC

Yesterday we visited some religious sites in Washington DC.  First we visited the Franciscan Monastery, where we had a tour and explored the grounds.  After that, we went to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.  This is the largest catholic church in America/Canada.  Both places had very interesting artwork, particularly the mosaics at the Basilica.  Quinn got to have his picture taken with the Pope at the Monastery.



Quinn requested that I take his picture here.  Probably one of the nicest smiles he's ever given for the camera.




He wanted his picture next to Jesus (depicting the raising of Lazarus)
