Easter Hunts

Easter Sunday we headed down to celebrate with Craig's family. We enjoyed a delicious meal with his family and some good conversations. Following lunch, we headed outside for the annual egg hunt. Craig's mom dyed about three dozen real eggs for some beautiful treasures to find. We can usually get three to four hunts out the kids before they are worn out. The kids were ready for the hunt - they had been hiding and hunting their own plastic eggs for the past week. They all had a great time searching for the hidden eggs. They even did one hiding on their own where Craig and I hunted.

The search is on ~

The three on the hunt - Trinity finds one in the tree

Xander found one in the grass

Trinity filled up her basket pretty quickly

Kalyn discovers one in the flower pot

The clover hid one, but Xander found it

Kalyn carefully takes her found egg to her basket - she got tired carrying it, so she hung it on her bike handle

Craig took some time to relive his biking days on Trinity's bike

It was a great afternoon with family. We stayed down in Bowdon for a couple of days after Easter. The kids had a great time hanging out with Papa and Gendy during their spring break and Craig and I did some cleaning out work in their sheds. This was the final wave of reporting their loss from the tornado that hit their house almost two years ago. This was a hunt in itself. There was a lot of stuff to go through, figuring out what was damaged, what needed to be tossed out and what they wanted to keep.

While Craig and I worked in the shed, the kids had a blast in the motorized jeep. They have so much room to drive around the yard in it. Isn't Kalyn just stylin' in her shades?

Craig's dad had some dirt delivered while we were there. Watching the big dump truck brought everyone out into the yard . . . plus one of the wild turkeys from the forest behind the house!

It was a lot of work, but after four trips to the dump, it was well worth it!
