Easter

For several years now, we've spent Easter afternoon at the Walker's "He Is Risen" Easter Egg Hunt. For a few years we began with Greg telling the real Easter story. Last year he turned it over to Landon. He did this on the spur of the moment, though, so Landon was scrambling to come up with something. This year I suggested that he use our Resurrection Eggs. He did a great job! We'll have to look for another clever idea for next year.



Gerren decided he was too big to hunt eggs this year, so he helped Carys. It was her first year to hunt. So wasn't quite sure what to do, but she was an expert at eating the candy.


Greg was taking pictures, so we have a lot of cut off heads!


The egg hunt isn't the only activity. There's also an egg toss, with a non-hard-boiled egg, of course....


and a sack race.


Then, the Easter bunny comes to visit. Landon fulfilled this role for the second year, also.


When we finally got home, the kids opened their own Easter baskets. They had a nice assortment of candy and a book each. The boys are THRILLED with the new books I got them, Asterix and the Gaul, and Asterix and the Golden Sickle, recommended by the wonderful women on my homeschooling loop. I know we'll be buying more of these.
