The Egg Hunt

Sunday Afternoon, April 8

Dave, Laura and their boys Caleb and Benny look for eggs.

The youngest children went first.

 

 

Then the bigger ones joined the search.

I see Kelci, Regan, Andrew, Heidi, Amy, Jana, and Laura.

 

 

Mike, Sarah, and their daughter, Katie watch as the young ones gather eggs.

Brenda helping one of their “granddaughters”.

She and Steve care for and mentor young women who need a place to live for a period of time, and some who have gotten themselves into a variety of problems. Many of the women live in their house (the homestead where we grew up). This is one of the young women’s daughters.

Looks like Caleb found a blue egg.

Jesse was pleased with his basketful of eggs. Each child was told to find twenty eggs.

 

 

 

 

Deb is in charge of the egg hunt every year. There are all kinds of things inside the plastic eggs – including notes that mention the prize that you have won. It looks like Jesse won a bunny.

The egg hunt began at 4:30 – just before we had supper with my siblings and their children. More about that tomorrow night.
