Egg Hunt

We had our church egg hunt this past weekend. It was so much fun and a LOT of hard work. Since we do Lads to Leaders Easter weekend, the smaller kids that don't participate, get looked over around this holiday. So, I got the bright idea to have an egg hunt. Everything went well and we had about 40 kids and over 125 total. The weather was perfect - 75 and sunny! We were originally forecast for rain and in our class on Wednesday night, several of us that had worked so hard on getting this together, asked that good thoughts and prayers go up for sun and no rain. Well, it worked.....and I kid you not, on the way home, after all was said and done, it started pouring down rain....for about 3 minutes and then it stopped! Anyways, the kids had a great time and so did the adults! Nina already eyeing the cookies!

Nina and Sydney don't quite know what to think....

...so let's just point to our shoes....

The older kids dying eggs - all the kids had a blast doing this!

A physical therapist, pilot and police officer...and a few others...now which ones charred the first 4 hamburgers? After that, they knew what they were doing - but when I saw those first 4, I thought we might be in trouble!
