Easter 2009

Easter Egg Hunt At The Park~

A ton of families from our ward met at the park on Friday, after school, and had an Easter Egg Hunt!! It was half day for the kids, so many of us brought picnic lunches to eat as well. Marty was off work that day and the weather was windy and beautiful, so it made for the PERFECT day to hunt eggs!! And just for sake of journaling, We really did miss being at Myrtle Beach for the Giles Family Easter Egg...Money Egg Hunt!!! Let's just say that my Family EE Hunt's are the type that get the adrenaline running!! This really was, however, the next best thing to being with family!
Marty & Amy hiding eggs for the 'older kids'!! Marty probably would've climbed some tree's during this part of the event, but he was hurting from a car accident that he was in two days prior...(more about that later:).

This was the first Easter where Rissa really got the concept....of pick-up the egg, open the egg, eat all the candy inside!! She was loving it! For REAL...moms & dads just through eggs all over the ground with CANDY in them?!! ...and all I have to do is pick them up? ...and I can just EAT candy all day long?! WooHooo!!!

Jacob climbed up in a tree for this one!! He said, "There must be good stuff in that egg for it to be up so high!!".

We decided to picnic, so Marty & I drove around and got everyone their favorite lunch food before school let out. Brant had his favorite Chicken sandwich! Jacob-Cheeseburger Happy Meal w/no pickle and no mustard! Rissa-Chicken nuggets & fries. Marty & I hit Subway.

Brant & Tyler...two cool dudes! They spent a lot of time on the basketball court, playing hoops with Marty and riding skate boards. I think that everyone that went had a great time! Thanks, Brea, for instigating this fun afternoon!!!
