Annual Egg Hunt

We made it down to St George last weekend with just enough time to eat dinner and dye Easter eggs before the kids' bedtime. Priorities! All the littles (minus baby Luke) slept in the bunk beds together and did a really good job falling asleep all nestled in there. Bentley went to bed later than Cares, Mason and Livs and he had a harder time sleeping with so many other "loud breathers." He is totally his mother's child when it comes to sleep and needs it very, very quiet :)
 

Saturday morning the Easter bunny left baskets filled with fun things and tons of eggs all over the place. The kids were great sports about waiting just a little bit so Joseph could make it back from his morning ride and join us in the hunting. I love these egg hunts in St George—it's always so refreshing to see green grass and thriving plants when spring is not quite blooming yet back home.

  
  
  
  

Having one whole day to play with Tye and Stace and my parents we made the most of it. After egg hunting my dad and I went for a bike ride, and then we all headed over to Main Street for lunch at 25 Main followed by play time in the fun lazy river and splash pad. It was super busy at the splash pad due to the Arts Festival but the kids had a blast and Luke made himself right at home wandering everywhere and exploring everything—have to keep the closest eye on that guy!

Later in the afternoon Luke napped, my parents stayed with him and we hit the pool—warm enough to swim outside! I was lazy and let Joseph entertain the kids in the water while I read and relaxed in the sun.

After such a crazy day the kiddos fell asleep in record time and the adults played Canasta. Reminded me of nights on the houseboat down in Powell (and got me excited about that fun trip this summer).

For such a short week-end visit (for us) it did seem packed with delightful things. I love the egg hunt each year and inordinate amount. I loved having 5 kids and about 10 dozen eggs--everybody got lots and lots! And so many of us together is always fun.

Luke falling off the green chair is my favorite pic!
What a fun Easter.
