Easter Egg Hunting

Let the Hunt Begin
Lula was pretty confused.  Why was there a red egg in the grass?
Daniel was upset that his sisters were faster than he was and he couldn't reach the egg on the gate.
I love my zoom lens.  Mark calls it The Lazy Person Lens.
After Kai ran Lula down, she was very watchful for him.  Here she is yelling at him to stay away.
Shane was Heidi's buddy
She's done. One egg is enough when the dogs are running around all crazy.
These guys kept going.  Why would we go to the public hunt when our pasture is bigger than the park?
Slugs find the eggs faster than the kids do!
The Big Basket, hiding in the grass.  It holds the Big Candy.
Daniel found it this year...and thought all of the Big Candy was for him.
The closest to a group photo we got (Lula is behind Shane)
"I found one by M. A.!"
The Easter Monkey hid a few eggs too!
These two are off to see if the Easter Blobber-Fish-About-This-Big hid eggs by the pond.

She wins Most Persistent Egg Hunter (she hunted three times for missing eggs)

This shows both Daniel and Fiona sharing eggs with Ian.
The kids ate piles of candy and a few hard-boiled eggs.  Mark made lamb for dinner.  We watched Veggie Tales: The Easter Carol and I read the Egermeier's Bible Story Book version of the crucifixion and resurrection.  Mark and I lounged on the side porch in the sun for most of the day.  We had a much-needed day of rest between two very difficult work weeks for Mark.  The boys played video games and Lula sneaked as much chocolate as she could.  It was a good day.
