Eggs

Between Conference sessions on Saturday, we went to our favorite annual egg hunt.  It was much smaller this year, but still great fun.

Here's Carlyn welcoming everyone and explaining the rules, which are:

1.  Don't fall into the pond!

2.  There are some eggs with names on them.  If you find one that has someone else's name, don't take it.

3.  Have fun!

4.  Don't fall into the pond!

And they're off!  Yes, all those spots on the grass are eggs!

After about ten minutes, Ben's basket was full!

But there were still more eggs to find!

Saturday evening, I realized we hadn't colored eggs yet.  I pulled out the food coloring and vinegar and realized we didn't have any red food coloring, just blue, yellow and green.  Not a very colorful assortment!  Oh well, the kids still had fun.  We tried a new trick, wrapping rubber bands around the egg before dying it.  It made for some interesting patterns.  Ben also loved coloring with crayons on the eggs.

And then Sunday after Easter dinner, we had another egg hunt with the cousins.  It was drizzly, so I didn't take very many pictures.  Jonah was so adorable in his yellow raincoat!
