Easter - part 2

Saturday, we braved the international bakery show - which was crazy insane packed, and then went to an Easter picnic in a park by the airport. What a great afternoon!! Visited with the few moms I knew and met several more (plus the husbands :) and all the kids had a wonderful time. Unfortunately we forgot Hudson's goodie bag, but he didn't notice. He's still just a tad too young to understand what's going on, but loved it nonetheless.


Exploring the park





I loved this sign with a map of the walking trails - and calories burned on each leg.

I especially like leg A - a whopping 26 meters long!




Sienna basically lives in the carrier...


Was quite pretty, actually...  I think there was a flower festival of some sort before.


random, but cool




As I mentioned, we were close to the (domestic) airport - and then planes were passing RIGHT above us the entire time that we were there.  Part scary, part cool.




caught him by surprise here..


face he made when i asked him to smile








so many planes!!  hudson started off terrified, but soon got used to it.








One of the many things I love about Taipei is how clean it is here - there are constantly people out sweeping the sidewalks, the MRT trains are spotless..  In fact, they sort of messed up our Easter egg hunt as the park cleaners collected most of the eggs before the children had a chance!  (I heard that they figured out what happened and returned the eggs..  Sort of defeats the purpose, but amusing nonetheless..)








The hunt for the eggs-so-well-hidden-the-cleaners-missed-them begins!


This wedding couple was thrilled to have a hundred eager Easter egg hunters storm their photo shoot


Poor couple...  They got fed up and went into the maze part of the garden - just in time for the chocolate hunt for the younger kids to begin!


Hudson found nothing, but a very sweet new friend, Eliana gave him both (!!) the eggs she found!


Hudson, meanwhile, was happy just holding the one real egg he had decorated, watching this mom blow bubbles for her kids


She gave him a turn, and his attempt was adorable, even if it yielded nothing.


Was a great turnout!


This is Joshua, almost the same age as Sienna and her new (first!) love interest



She was very interested in him!





Until we realized all she really cared about was the chair he was in..



Haha - what a great afternoon!!
