Tanner's Easter Egg Substitute

The family got together tonight at Grandma's for Easter. Every year we hide Easter eggs for the grandkids and they overdose on sugar. But this year, Tanner got sick. He was running a fever last night/early this morning and we didn't feel right about exposing him to other kids later the same day. Even if those other kids are finding Easter eggs.

So Tanner and Daddy found other activities. We went to the fire station and looked at the fire trucks and talked to the firefighters (I needed a burn permit). Then we went to Wal-Mart. We read a Veggietales book, looked at the fish and bought a little toy truck. Then we went to McDonald's for chicken nuggets and a hot fudge sundae. After eating, we went home and I tucked Tanner into my recliner and turned on a new cartoon movie we had rented from Blockbuster.

It may not be Easter eggs but I think Tanner appreciated the time alone with Dad's undivided attention. He's a sweet little boy.
