HAPPY EASTER

Wow...Easter sure snuck up on us this year! We had a fun week celebrating St. Patrick's Day and Easter all in the same week. Constant party! From green pancakes, leprochans and gold coins to coloring Easter eggs and enjoying a wonderful Easter Sunday... We had a fun time as a family. The highlight for the kids was the egg hunt at the pool. It was the kids first time "diving for eggs" and they had a blast. Tate cracked us up! He stood on the side of the pool adjusting his goggles and flexing his abs waiting for his age group to begin. When they finally blew the whistle he just went flying into the pool. He was all over it... it was so stinkin' funny! Mitch and Rachel are getting to be awesome swimmers. They had their own age categories as well and had so much fun. We were impressed at how the would dive down and get the eggs off the bottom of the pool. So funny. There were a TON of eggs. They were the plastic ones and some were filled with rocks so they would sink to the bottom. The kids would stack them on the sides of the pool and all the parents kept throwing them back in so the fun continued. When the time was up the kids just had to take one egg and turn it in for a bag of candy. It was really organized and a lot of fun! It was a fun Saturday activity for our little swimmers!








We had a fun evening coloring eggs
'EGGCELLENT' job everyone!












This is a note that Rachel left for the Easter Bunny.
