Dr. Seuss's Easter - Part Four

Every year at this time, we have a tradition

(2009, 2010, 2011)

and now I am back with a brand new edition 

Our Dr. Seuss Easter has come back once more

So let's get started with year number FOUR!

It started out right with a trip to the mall

Cameron was tough, cause I thought he would bawl

He sat there and smiled and didn't even care

That he was in reach of a 6 foot tall hare.

We went to the school as we do every year

Took not a picture, and shed not a tear.

Pres. Pence's house was a whole different story

I was out with my camera in all of my glory

 I stalked the poor girls and was snapping away

I took tons of pictures, much to their dismay.

 They gathered their eggs and had no time to waste

Except for Brooklyn, who paused for a taste...

Then the candy forgotten, they went down by the water

She caught this thing... 

(Are we sure she's my daughter?!)

 They went on the swings and made poor Aubrey push

 A few minutes later, she was flat on her tush.

They rode on a tractor and a red paddle boat -

3 kids and just me (but I'm not one to gloat) 

 I demanded a picture where all 3 had a smile,

And I'm not gonna lie - we where there for a while.

Then it was time for the real Easter day

And ours was the best - I don't care what you say.

We woke bright and early and what a surprise...

We could hear something strange, it was soft little cries.

And out in our living room, what did we see...

 It was three tiny chicks, just as cute as can be!

The girls were both smitten as I bet you can guess

But we found out real soon - these chicks make a mess!

 

We named them each - Jumper, well she jumps from up high

And then there is Flyer, who we think is a guy

 

Last there is Cutie, who's cuter than heck

But you have to be careful, cause she likes to peck.

The girls were in heaven, but Cam not so much

He didn't understand - he just wanted to touch!

 

 

We did have a hunt but it sure didn't last

It was back to the chicks and out into the grass

 The day was so perfect, the grass was so green

And I was so lucky to witness the scene.

 

 

Cameron was able to get within range

Poor little chick - that probably felt strange

 

 Later that morn, we found Aubrey in bed

With a chick (listening to every word that she said)

 Brooklyn and Aubrey are both quite attached

To these sweet little chicks - we are glad that they hatched.

 And though we had fun with our cute little birds

The best part of Easter was hearing the words. 

We went to our church and learned about love

And about our Savior who was sent from above. 

I'm grateful for Him and this great time of year

And how He is risen, and we can all cheer!

Happy Easter

Love, 

Luke, Ashley, Brooklyn, Aubrey, Cameron, Jumper, Flyer, and Cutie
