Easter

For FHE on Monday, we had a late Easter celebration at Grandpa & Grandma Reese's. We roasted hot dogs over the fire (or microwaved them for those that didn't want to wait) and grilled hamburgers for dinner. All the kids then participated in an Easter egg hunt, and then Grandpa started a big bonfire with the branches from all the peach trees he lost this year. Smores followed later on after the big fire. Every year there seems to be a few less egg hunters. In a few years our boys can add to the hunting group:)

Dallin did a great job hunting for eggs. He actually found the "prize egg" but someone re-hid it for someone older to find it. In the past, the prize egg has been the cause of many tears and hurt feelings. Dallin could care less so it worked out. The funny thing about the prize egg is that the prize is always the same: a bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups that are shared with everyone. Nothing too crazy, at least it doesn't seem like it could cause that many problems to me. Maybe one of these years the prize egg will be banned:)

Grandpa decided to pull out the tractor to move all the outer branches closer to the blaze. Luckily no damage was done to grandpa or the tractor.
