Easter Egg Hunt 2011...

Saturday we had our Easter egg hunt with church kids. We decided that our backyard was too small to host this year, so we headed out of town a little ways to some church friends house where there is more than enough room to run around - they even had some real chickens!! It was a day that could not be beat. It was 65 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. We were so excited. The kids had a great time. I did not get great pictures of the actual hunt because they move too fast for me to get them in focus. Oh well!

These are some of Jack's buddies. Noah is in the middle and is always trying to give Jack a kiss goodbye. Jack usually tries to escape, but this time he was caught - and I caught it too!

Right before the hunt started, I wanted to capture Molly with the camera. This is what she gave me. I will not go into to the parenting that needed to be addressed in this moment of sticking her tongue out at me.

There was this huge tree that was great for climbing. There was wood nailed to the side so that one could climb it easier. Jack was ready to get to the top. I love this picture! He was a little scared about coming down. It took some coaxing to get him back to ground. He was at the top telling me that he couldn't climb down. Of course, I was at the bottom telling him that in fact he could do it and he had to do it because he could not spend the rest of his life up there in the tree!

Oh, the Gretchen traits in our Jack! Then, I see him tackle some other things, and I think of Kyle in our Jack! What a blend he is!
