Easter Weekend--Post 1

All the kids preparing to make a dash for the eggs in the back yard

For Easter weekend Greg had the day off on Good Friday so we pulled the kids out of school and headed back to Bettendorf to see some friends.  It has been a long time since we have been there for any length of time so it was great fun to catch up with people we still care about even though we are farther away.  We stayed with our good friends the Jensen family, who always have a place for us.  We arrived in time for lunch on Friday.   Then Adam had planned an egg hunt for everyone.  He is outgrowing a lot of the traditions we have, but is becoming a big help in organizing things for the younger kids.  This is the first year that I didn't feel all of the eggs.  In fact, I didn't fill any of them.  Adam did it all.  He his all of them too (he may have had some help from Katelyn).  He didn't look for any of them and didn't complain that he didn't get as much candy as the other kids.  Of course he did pass off a requirement for his Family Life merit badge.  Still, he did it all without complaining.  Thanks Adam.

The search is on

The Jensen have an amazing yard for living in a suburban neighborhood. 

Ben found some cheese on the egg hunt :)

While the kids hunted for eggs, Adam shot some hoops.

There was a lot of trading and negotiating going on

Then came more outdoor fun.

The amazing Christian and his gang perform for the circus.
