This past Easter Sunday was one of the best Easter’s I have had in years. Paul and I were invited to Carrie and Iggy’s house for an Easter dinner with many other friends and co-workers of theirs. It was really nice for all of us to get together and spend Easter with Zachary.

On our way to Easter dinner, we ran into a few interesting sites. Dolores Park was littered with hundreds of people for a yearly event hosted by The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. At this event families of all walks of life come together to celebrate Easter at Dolores Park. Many of the people at the park were dressed in costumes, had painted faces and some shocking and revealing outfits. Many were wearing Easter bonnets for one of the two contests they host. The "Easter Bonnet" contest gives a prize to the person wearing the best Easter bonnet; many men were wearing some impressive bonnets! The second contest is called the "Hunky Jesus" contest. Top prize goes to the “hunk” that looks most like Jesus. Leave it to the gays to turn Jesus into a “gay” contest. See some of the snapshots below from The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at Dolores Park.

Once we arrived at Carrie and Iggy’s, Zachary was waiting to show us what the Easter Bunny had left for him. A large basket of candy and gifts were left for him and he was grinning from ear to ear. Easter is a great holiday for a kid to get to eat extra candy that they would not normally be allowed to eat. If any of Zach’s teeth rot out of his head, let’s hope it’s the front tooth with the chip in it☺

After a delicious Easter buffet and meeting many friendly people, we all headed across the street to the palace of Fine Arts for an Easter egg hunt. It was a bit brisk, but the kids were running everywhere gathering candy filled plastic eggs. Zachary’s basket became full in a matter of minutes and he was having a hard time harvesting all of his prized eggs. At one point Zach dropped his Easter basket and all of the prized candy went everywhere. Luckily all was saved!

All in all it was a wonderful Easter and I would like to thank Carrie and Iggy for opening up there home to us. It was a pleasure meeting their co-workers and friends, it was very nice to spend Easter with so many nice people. To see more pictures from Easter, click on the link below.
