Easter Festivities

Began with a preschool Easter party for Jacey.

Then an easter egg hunt at my folks' house

There was a lot of this going on afterwards:

The project for the day (this was the day before Easter) was the beam under the back deck. The builder messed up and the beam was too small, so they put a bigger one in. Here's Ky holding up the deck while they work on it. I'm not sure why they bothered to rent those jacks.

Easter Sunday we went to early church after the girls found their baskets. The easter bunny brought them each some summer clothes, which they might actually even be able to wear someday if it would quit snowing. (This week is actually supposed to be quite nice.)

After church my folks and Nate went up to Glen & Liz's with us for dinner. We ate, and ate, and then we ate a little more. After dinner we had the annual Robins Family Easter Egg Hunt. Glen explaining this year's rules:

Each year the rules are different. Last year was a variation of a three-legged race, only with shirts. (Two people in one big shirt.) Prior years have been along the same thread. (ie, embarrassing. This is not just a children's egg hunt, in case you were wondering. Adults are required to participate.) I was curious to see how this was going to go down this year, since we had non-Robins witnesses there. But it was the most mild of all Robins Egg Hunts I've participated in. Each kid was assigned 2 adults and only the kids could touch the eggs. And you could only pick up one egg at a time - then return it to your basket on the patio and tag-team the other adult. Well, apparently walking with the kids is too slow for some adults.

This is Will's cousin Todd carrying Jacey, with Uncle Nate waiting to be tagged. Needless to say, by the end all the adults were exhausted and the kids were having a grand old time. But since egg hunts are technically supposed to be for the kids, that's how it should be!
