The egg hunt

An awesome lady from our church put together the most awesome egg hunt on Saturday morning. She (and her family) hid 1200 eggs at a local, wooded park. Luckily it was the prettiest day of the Spring so far. There were lots of kids and excitement. She also made adorable paper nests for each child with their names on them, and filled them with candy, and hid them in the woods, too. The kids had a blast!

Ian ate as he hunted (you've got to keep your strength up!)!


Cute, Molly. She had so much fun!


Max with his basket. His shirt says it all!


A really fun Easter event, that almost never happened for us, because we ran out of gas on the way there when someone forgot to get gas that morning like his wife asked. Luckily, we have great friends, one of whom came and got me and the kids and took us to the hunt, while Jon took care of his little mess. In the spirit of Easter I forgave him by that evening.

i feel a bit smug that i got to hear this story first-hand with all the emotion that accompanied it. i think your bloggy readers might've got gypped. :)

all in all, i'm happy that there was a happy ending to the story. candy makes everything better. and the sun.

PS - wyatt was very impressed with jon's skills. all the way to 7-eleven! he was amazed.
