Easter Saturday

The boys participated in their first Easter egg hunt this year! On Saturday, we took them to St. Paul's church outside of Fort Recovery.  To be honest, it was over before the boys even knew it started!  All the kids who aren't of school age were in the same group.  Basically the eggs were laying on the ground, and the kids ran and picked them up.  Seriously, it was over in less than 3 minutes. 

Jackson found 3 eggs - mostly by luck, as we were

standing by one egg, and very close to a bush that contained 2 more.

Lincoln found one egg, but someone was kind enough to give him another one so that he had a prize egg!

 

For their prizes, both of the

  boys received "squishy"

  balls...you can

  play with them in the

  pool, bathtub, etc.  They both

  ended up with a little bit of

  candy, and a "money egg"

  too.  Very egg-citing!

 

In the afternoon, we had an egg hunt at Grandma Hart's.  Each child was allotted so many eggs that they could find, then they were finished.  This allowed the younger ones to have an opportunity to catch onto the idea. 

Aunt Beth helped Lincoln find his eggs, while Brian helped Jackson.  Jackson almost found the "special" egg (which means you get the really big chocolate Easter bunny), but Brian told Joey he could have that egg.  

Both of the boys brought home lots of candy, and some money too.

It was a great start to our Easter celebration - good food, some sunshine, and spending time with family!
