Dressed and ready to hunt eggs

Gordon was super excited to discover the chocolates inside

Kiddos enjoyed finding their eggs. Walter's were orange, Gordon's were yellow, and Adele's were pink.

Once they got the chocolates out, I was left to deal with the empty eggs.

We parked along the Ballina riverfront to walk to Church. It was a beautiful day. The bells were ringing at St Flannan's Cathedral across the river. The kids loved it!

The kids behaved beautifully for Easter Mass. We got there 15 minutes early and had no problem getting a seat. By Mass time, it was a crush! Before Mass, the priest came back to say 'hi' to the kids and Gordon told the priest to "Shh" when the priest didn't whisper. We all had a good laugh. At Communion, the priest was blessing the children at the altar and my kids followed another family right up there. We were the next-to-last ones in line, but the kids did very well. After that, we had to leave for an emergency potty situation. I think that's the longest Mass I've ever attended in Ireland, 45 minutes long!
