This is just the first thing he pulled out - a sheet of Spiderman stickers.
He was so excited and surprised and overwhelmed by them, he didn't know what to do. He went right to Paul and wanted to be picked up for a minute and then got back down to check out what else there was.
He got some Spiderman plates and cups (got to love the dollar bins at Target), a few Superhero books and 2 movies - The Princess and the Frog and Pete's Dragon. He also got a little bit of candy - but not much because I knew he'd be getting more later.
As you can see from the tongue sticking out of his mouth - the books were a big hit.
Here he is reading the books himself after both Paul and I had read them to him. These books went everywhere with him today.
We also went to church - after mass there was an Easter egg hunt. This is the area for the younger kids - as you can see it was less of a 'hunt' and more of a 'gather'. Fortunately it was a beautiful sunny day. Unfortunately most of the eggs were filled with chocolate - it was a little messy emptying the candy from the eggs.
The Easter bunny also made an appearance at church (a little ironic considering the priest spoke about the "Easter lamb" as opposed to the Easter bunny). After checking out the candy in his eggs, Rudy rushed over to get his picture taken.
After all that fun, we headed out t lunch with my Dad (first we dropped all the chocolate at home and stuck it in the frig). While waiting for our food, Dad had the honor of reading Rudy's new books to him.
After lunch, we went home to change and then headed to the boardwalk (a different one from yesterday) to take advantage of the half price ticket sales. The weather was beautiful but we didn't have much time there. After purchasing our tickets (and some for Max and Lucy to use), we had time to stand in line for one ride. Rudy chose the roller coaster.
We arrived home with 30 minutes to 'relax' before heading out again. This time to go to Paul's aunt's house for dinner. It was fun hanging out with family and relaxing (and eating). And Rudy of course had a blast with Neil and Sean. Here they are snuggled up watching TV.
It has been a busy weekend and Rudy has been fighting a cold for the past week which I think is catching up to him. After Neil got u from the recliner with Rudy, he asked me to come and sit with him. He felt a little warm, but I wasn't sure if it was from sitting in the chair with a blanket on. When we go home and I took his temperature, he did have a slight fever, so we will see what tomorrow brings. We may spend our week off relaxing at home and watching Rudy's new movies.
So glad you guys had such a nice day!
