This is going to be a VERY long post...just warning you...
Easter weekend was filled with a lot of activities and a lot of FUN!! The pictures will tell all...so enjoy!
Monday...
My neighbor invited us to go to the Tonequint Park Easter Egg Hunt with her and her family. So, we went and I will never go again! (totally Crazy!) But, the kids got their Easter Eggs, had a good time hunting them, then we went home...
here They are, waiting for the hunt to begin...
It's amazing how water and rocks can occupy kids for HOURS... and so it did...until the hunt began...
They had the park divided into different age groups...here is Ella about to begin her age group hunt...
and there she goes...she was a pro!
She had a lot of fun hunting down those eggs!
and Ethan...Got bored waiting for his age category to start, so he was out throwing rocks in the water when the buzzer rang and missed his age group completely...so...
We went to the next age up and he did really well...
He got eggs, so he's happy.
and here they both are with their finds!
Snow Canyon State Park
On Friday, the first day of Easter Break, my sister-in-law suggested we go to Snow Canyon and spend the day hiking and picnicking! I was so in and we had a ton of fun!
Ariana was such a trooper!
This is where we had our picnic. The kids would eat, then go hike this hill, then come back and eat...back and forth over and over.
Ethan is the orange spot at the top. This was not a small hill and he climbed to the top over and over...
Dustin is the big one in the white shirt and green shorts. He's helping all the kids come back down.
Then we went to the Sand Dunes. Hike was HORRIBLE!! but the kids had fun playing in the sand when we finally got there.
Jaci, Mya and Emma
A bunch of the kids, along with some of their friends who were there burying...someone...
Derek and his cute cheeeeeese!
Ariana got really tired of the glare of the sun, so we put her under a make-shift canopy that Derek was using for his nap and she was much happier...
I buried these three girls, but Ella broke out just before I took the picture.
Ethan had a lot of fun at someone else's hole...
We went back later that night and BBQ'd some really awesome steaks. It was a lot of fun!
Saturday: Swimming and Dyeing..
Saturday was spent catching up on life. We cleaned the house, cleaned out the cars, organized, shopped and finally got to go swimming.
Ella loved swimming!
Ethan, of course loved it!
My two little bedlamites!
And now dying eggs...
We did this at the end of the day, after baths and then put them straight to bed (the kids not the eggs)
Ethan was surprised to see the eggs go in white and come out colored.
Ella had a lot of fun too!
Easter Sunday
Ella loves to do Kylie's hair!
Jared is making faces at Ariana, and she's loving it!
Ariana is intently watching Jared
Silly Crazy Ethan...He loves going to Grandma's house!
Derek and his cheeeeeser.
Lining up for the Easter egg hunt! We had some pretty crazy weather, but it broke just long enough to hide the eggs, and the kids to find them...
And off they go! They get better at it every year
I haven't figured out why he's carrying a plastic cup. But he's sure loving finding the eggs
Ella found a cracked hard boiled egg
I don't know what they want from Jared, but it sure looks funny. (Please suh, more?)
Ariana is enjoying the hunt from the warmth of two blankets and Grandma's arms
Arrrrrggg...
There was one egg left so we played hot and cold for it. Gavin found it. The kids walked in a group like ducklings. So Cute!
All the grandkids and their finds!
As we were finishing up outside, the heavens opened at it started to pour! So we had the big boy hunt inside. We made them go into mom and dad's room to wait. Look how antsy they are to get going...
Lining up in the hall, oldest to youngest...sort of. Charles should be in front of Dustin and Jason...and he really is having fun...
On your mark...get set... (move Derek out of the way)
GO! The fight down the hall...
And their off!
Hunting hunting hunting!
Charles with his finds!
Dad got a wound! He was pushed against the light switch as they were coming down the hall!
Picture tells all...
Kind of freaky actually...
Then, one person started throwing eggs, and everyone else joined in. We had an Easter egg war for about 10 min!
Ethan got a few good throws in too!
We are grateful for this season! For the reason we celebrate it, for the Atonement, crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Because he fulfilled his role as our Savior, we have the ability to return to live with Him again, and be with our Families forever!
Happy Easter everyone!
