Easter 2008

Before heading off to church the kids looked for their Easter eggs. The Easter Bunny had a lot of good hiding spots this year and it was a week later before we found the last egg.

After church we had our family Easter get together at our house. Easter has traditionally been at Uncle Ronald's house but they were in the process of re-doing the patio in the backyard and everything was a mess. We were glad that we were able to have everyone over. In the past our house wasn't a good party spot but the new house has a huge patio and yard that's perfect of a get-together.

After lunch we had our traditional Easter Olympic Games. Everyone was encouraged to play but a few found it more fun to watch. Events included:

Eating a donut from a string w/o using your hands Egg on a spoon relay Water balloon toss Free throw shots Golf ball toss (into a bucket)

The winner of each event got a couple of plastic eggs. Some eggs had quarters in them, some had dollars and some were empty. I think that everyone had a good time even if they didn't win anything.

After everyone left the boys decided they wanted to go swimming. It had been in the mid-80's and was warm out in the sun but the water in the pool was only about 70º. Seth stayed in for about 20 minutes and Kyle & Caleb stayed in about 45 minutes. I think they're crazy. I have no desire to go in until the water is at least 85º!
