Our Rainy Easter Egg Hunt!





Easter Saturday was a fabulous day in Arizona!  It started out by ruining our Easter egg hunt plans in the morning by pouring rain when we woke up.  (But we were okay with it because it was so beautiful....and we knew this was probably the last of the nice weather before the 100 degree weather hit...which is just did!)

So we postponed the party til late in the afternoon when the rain had stopped & it was just beautiful!  We had the Slade family over for the egg hunt & a nice little barbecue.  
It was so fun to have the Easter egg hunt in our new 3 1/2 acre yard.  There was plenty of room for all the grandkids to spread out & really "hunt" instead of just see them all instantly.  
We are sure loving our new house!  (Well....mostly the land!)  :)

Then we finished our Easter night off by sitting around our "fire pit" in the back corner of our yard because it was FREEZING!!!  But we had a nice discussion about resurrection followed by Newell's unforgettable dive/fall/roll.  Thank you Newell!


Jack didn't care about collecting the eggs....he just wanted to stop and open 1 and a time & then eat what was inside!

Ethan, Oakley, hmmmm...Austin & Hayden?, Cade....where was Wesley?

Too bad we will be visiting in July and won't get to fully partake of the aweosme back yard where you can camp, run free, embrace the farmer in you! We can't wait to get home! Good job on updating your blog! I have checked it like 100 times!
