Easter Egg Hunts









Yes, I did say HuntS with an S! We attended the Noah's Ark egg hunt and then on Saturday we enjoyed the St. Mary's UMC hunt as well. If you'd like to increase your child's chance of getting cavities, please pop by for a visit and allow us to fill your pockets. Was it like this when I was a kid, Mom? I don't remember viewing Easter like a second Halloween experience. The candy overflow is out of control around here! We keep saying, "We've got to get rid of this stuff," but I'm afraid the only exit the candy seems to be finding is our mouths! We must do a purging pronto! We had fun days at both events, and Olivia really enjoyed the spirit of the "hunt" this year, more than before. She loved searching and finding which was really fun to see. Benjamin was very patient until the sand gnats got vicious on Saturday during the church egg hunt. These sand gnats truly test your patience! We were mentioning to my grandparents, Mimi and Poppy who were ministers at SMUMC years ago, that Stan attended the sunrise service down on the riverfront and Stan was telling them how horrible the gnats were. Mimi said that they just didn't have a sunrise service when they were here--they just said that everybody knew the gnats were too awful to contend with. Hallelujah! Come on folks! Jesus knows we love him whether we sit outside or inside at 6:45 in the morning. Right? :)
