Annual Easter Egg Hunt

At the last minute, Mike and I decided to make a spontaneous decision and drive the kids home to SC for Easter. (we had originally planned on staying in Bham to attend some easter egg hunts and our church service on Sunday)

So, on Thursday morning at 8:15 we were packed and loaded up for the 6 hour trip...that usually takes us 7 or 8 since the kids arrived.

Anyway, we got to SC and had a great visit with Amy and Luke and got to attend a party Mike's parents were throwing for all of their friends to get to meet Luke since Amy doesn't make it home from Montana that often. That was really fun to get to catch up. We hung out Friday and on Saturday we had the Annual Easter Egg hunt at the lake. You will remember the last one here.

The whole family showed up and we had a great time playing with cousins...mine and Ryan's. The B's were out in full force and Ryan was more than ready to tackle the day with them. All of the kids went swimming and then took a boat ride with all the Dad's. (great day for Mom's this Easter) Then when they got back we ate and afterward had the Easter Egg Hunt with Francie, Suzanne, and Amanda leading the hiding efforts.

It was so fun to watch all of the kids find the eggs. Even Kaitlyn got in on the action. :)

We so miss being close to home and have these activities be the norm instead of the special treat. Can't wait for "one day" to be closer again.
