Easter Etc.

We started a new tradition this year. We hid an egg for each of the adults and children with their names on them. The adult egg had a nice note from Paula in each one, and all the kids got some money in their name egg. There were then about 8 eggs per person for general finding.


Tucker and Alicia hid the eggs. I know it looks like a lot of easy pickin's, but some were really hard to find. Like Thuy's which was hidden in a wind chime!


Kyle's was so hard to find that Tucker who hid it forgot for about 30 minutes where he had hidden it. He finally remembered that it was in one of the sprinkler boxes! The limit was supposed to be 8 eggs per person, but Jacob doesn't seem to be able to count!


Uncle Chuong was the lucky finder of the golden egg with $15! He was pretty excited. Maybe we need to pay him more?


As with any family function the number of camera's was nearly equal to the number of people!


Cuong had his I-phone video phone going the whole time. How about this shot of Me taking a picture of Hui taking a picture of Cuong videoing with Kayla flashing the peace sign.


The adults of course had as much fun inventorying the haul as the kids.


It is a fun and beautiful place to have an Easter Egg Hunt!


Another developing family tradition is the birthday parties at Burgerville on Barber Blvd. It has a huge play area, and the noise is pretty daunting, but it is really kid friendly. In this case it had better been, as there were a bunch of kids! This was Dillan's 8th birthday, a big one!




Finally a few local birds. Spring is here!

Great memory of the hunt and of course the little birds coming back.

That was the most fun I have ever had hunting eggs. Couldn't hurt that I buried Tucker's in the sand and it was hilarious watching him try to find it the whole time!
