Easter Festivities

Saturday before Easter we started off the morning with the "literally 30 second" egg hunt at Evergreen Park. The kids each got some eggs and it was a great time. The Easter Bunny showed up so they were able to give it a HUG :)
Awe the excitement of seeing all those plastic eggs...nothing better than seeing your kids so HAPPY :)We ran into our friends the Fuhriman's at Evergreen Park and they told us about the egg hunt at the Murray Rec Center pool. It was really fun for the kids to go in and gather plastic eggs which they traded in for candy. It was only $1 per child and we were able to stay and swim after. It was a fun change for an egg hunt. Thanks Mandy for the heads up.There were lots of kids...but the kids still had a blast.There were "5" golden eggs in each age group. Sadie and her friend Kate Fuhriman found one in their group. Sadie got a soccer ball and a T-shirt. Kate got a football and a T-shirt. Jake also found a golden egg in his group...he got a basketball and a T-shirt. Not bad for our group of "5" kids that were with us to get "3" of the "15" golden eggs. What a good time and a great way for the kids to burn off some Easter/sugar energy :)Later that day we colored eggs. The Easter bunny found its way to the Dean home. The kids baskets were filled with lots of candy, a swimsuit and flip flops. He hid the baskets pretty good this year. It took a little while for each one of the kids to find their basket.
