Easter

On Saturday, April 23, we went to the Egg Hunt in Morgan sponsored by the Lions Club. We won't be returning again. Alex and Londyn in the 5-6 age group got no eggs. Courtney, Gracie and Caroline in the 3-4 age group got no eggs. Joseph in the 7-8 age group got some and shared, and Irelynd in the 0-2 section got some and shared. All of the kids ended up coming home with a basket of candy because other people gave them numbered eggs, but it was not a fun experience. As you can see from the picture of the girls below, they weren't very excited and when the hunt started everyone ran off, scared Courtney and Caroline, and they both began wailing. I carried them both a little ways and then the four of us sat down on the grass and waited for the madness to end. Too many people at the city egg hunt. We'll stick the Grandma's Egg Hunt...the prizes are better anyhow (see below).

Alex wanted his picture taken with the Easter Bunny.  None of the other kids would stand near him. I think he's really scary looking.

Waiting for the beginning of the egg hunt.  It didn't get any better.

Coloring Easter eggs is much more fun than hunting them Gracie exclaims!

Courtney and Alex take their turn. We found out if we had three kids at a time dye eggs, it went much better than everyone trying to do it at once. They all had fun.

Matt helps Caroline decorate her eggs.

All lined up for the egg hunt, youngest to oldest.  The grandkids go in spurts.  Four out of the oldest five are boys, then there are six girls, another boy, three more girls, and then two boys.  It's 10 girls and 7 boys.

Caroline celebrates finding an egg with Matt.

Looking for more eggs and beginning to check out the treats.  Grandpa and Grandma hide a "name egg" for each kid. You cannot pick up/find another person's name egg.  Each name egg had a $5 bill this year.  Gracie opened hers and said, "Look, I got forty dollar in my egg."  The kids all wondered why she got more...

All dressed up for Easter Sunday.

Dresdyn and the girls.  Remember that run of girls in the grandkids...Check out Lina's pretty flower in her hair.  We had a "beauty salon" for all the girls. I'll have to post close ups of the hair styles another time.

My boys are missing because they left with Matt to get back to Moab for school the next day and we stayed for another week.

The Ladies posing in their Easter dresses the week before Easter Sunday. 

It was a bit windy that morning as you can tell by their dresses flapping in the breeze.
