Easter Weekend

Thursday evening we headed down to Utah to visit Greg's family and see Brad (Greg's youngest brother) who had flown in from PA. The weather was beautiful and we had a wonderful time seeing family, celebrating Easter, playing at parks, going out to eat, and playing in Grandma and Grandpa's backyard.

Easter Eve

Saturday morning, all the cousins in Utah and our two kids went/came to Grandma and Grandpa's for three Easter hunts. The youngest two, had a hunt where they would search a place and find a "clue" or picture of where to go next. At every station there was a little treat. The older girls helped Katie and it was a lot of fun! Then, the older granddaughters had a Nancy Drew hunt, complete with clues and a story.

The grandsons had an Indiana Jones themed hunt designed by Greg's brothers Mark and Brad. I joked that I should have hired them for Ethan's party last year because they thought of EVERYTHING from trap doors, to spelling with tiles, to swinging across water, jumping over lava, snakes, tombs, grails, idols, and the giant rock! It was definitely the highlight of Ethan's weekend and he hasn't stopped talking about it since we've been home. He wants to design ones for his friends now, but I have to remind him that Mom doesn't have all the cool stuff that Grandma has at her house!

Looking sharp!

Katie actually gasped when she saw her Easter dresses. I guess all those guns didn't take away her love for girly stuff. (I wish I had been around to get the shot of her face more!)
