Easter

We had all kinds of plans for going to the Sunrise Service and church breakfast this morning.  I was tired after the big day of flying Saturday so we ended up sleeping in and staying home.  James came up about noon and we changed the oil and filter in the Maxima, then he road down to the Easter party at Bob and Cathy's with us.  There was lots of good food again this year.  After taking the yearly pictures of the cousins, the six young ones had their Easter egg hunt.

Do you think Dad told her to look up?

Gabe really looks like he is enjoying watching the kids hunt for their eggs!

Harper and Ava with their baskets, all the kids were loaded down like this.

Since it was raining out, the kids opened their baskets in the living room.

Then the kids hid eggs for the adults, the eggs were plastic with Scrabble letters in them and the adults had been divided into two teams.

This is team one getting their letters sorted,  then they had five minutes to make words using Scrabble rules with the highest score winning.

Here is team two working on their game, they ended up winning.

During the next break in the rain they had the annual egg roll.  I went out on the second throw, not much control when I throw left handed so I can take pictures with my right hand.  That is my story and I am sticking to it!  It came down to Luke and Brock rolling for first place and Brock won.

Since it wasn't raining, we went right down to Dan and Robin's driveway for the raw egg toss.  Cathy is passing out the eggs, there were 14 teams this year.

One of the first throws of the competition everyone is still in it.

This is when Emmy's team went out, James is in the background making his catch.

James with a little egg on his hands, luckily Tierney broke hers also so they had to have a throw off.

Dan and Brock during the throw off, at this point they are throwing the eggs about 80 feet.

On the throw back James caught the egg but Tierney's broke so James and Dan are this year champs.  It was a fun afternoon and we headed home not too long after the egg toss.
