The kids were excited when we got home from camping to see that the Easter bunny had come.

EASTER EGG HUNTS

***NELSON EGG HUNT
My parents always do an egg hunt for the grandkids and than one for the adults. The kids always look forward to this. They love spending time with their cousins. Grandma Ruthie is giving them instructions of where they can go to look for the eggs.

minus Cylia, Chloe and Ezra :(
After the adults each found an egg my dad said OK you can keep it or trade it without looking at what is inside. Well I decided I would trade it with my brother Troy. Lucky for him his egg had $2 in it and mine had $10. I think he got the better end of that deal :)

We missed you Melanie and Brad :(***GREEN RIVER EGG HUNT
Each family brought 10 plastic eggs for each child that was going to hunt eggs. It was so funny to see all these kids running around the camp looking for eggs. The kids had a great time and I am sure they will never forget this egg hunt.

All the kids ready for the egg hunt to begin.
***DEAN EGG HUNT
The kids had a great time at Roger and Judy's egg hunt this year. They always go overboard and buy WAY TOO MUCH CANDY :) Roger is giving the kids their instruction of where they can go and look for eggs.All the Dean Grandkids.

GREEN RIVER

Our 5th ADVENTURE in the trailer was to GREEN RIVER for Spring Break (April 21st - 24th) with 21 families in our neighborhood. In January we started thinking about what we should do for spring break and we decided it would be fun to go back to Green River. Well as people started to show interest we booked campsites. I decided it would be fun to open it up to anyone in the neighborhood that was interested and didn't already have plans. Surprisingly we had 21 takers :) The kids were in heaven having SOOOO many friends to hangout with for the 3 days and 3 nights we were there. We explored Arches on Friday and Goblin Valley on Saturday. It was a GOOD time :)

21 families = 114 people (42 adults + 72 kids)
