Egg dying

The kids on Easter morning.


I tried dying the Easter eggs this year with food coloring. I used the instructions on the back and it said 1 teas. vinegar 1/2 cup boiling water and half the bottle of food coloring. I did what is said and those eggs were instantly dyed! If we left them in inter for a little while they were so dark!

The River


All of these picture are taken on part of the land that we bought (paying for) a few months ago. I love goning ther in in the spring!!!









After the Egg Hunt we went stopped at the river to show Dad and Grandpa what the kids had gotten. They were putting up a new fence. The kids had a great time climbing rock, throwing things in the river (not garbage) and watching for the kayak. The power company will let water out of the dam up to 18 weekends for kayaking (to keep the people happy, will not say my opinion.) anyway it raised to water level in the bear river to cover all of the rocks and makes nice rapped in the Black Canyon. Hence the kayakers. Once they started passing us Tyler warned them of the wire fence under the bridge. Tate had a great time waving at them as they passed. In each great there was one or two who would talk to the kids. Adele was crying because she cut her hand climbing over a panel with barbed wire on it. She wanted to go back home, but I had a hard time getting Tate out of the snow patches.

Easter Weekend

At 10:00 we went to the Easter Egg Hunt at the Fair Grounds in Grace. The hunt is divided into age group in different places at the same time. All three kids were in different age groups, so I let Tyler run over to his age group and brought Adele to hers. Luckily I could a neighbor who was there with her grandchild who watched out for her (good thing she had help because someone stepped on the back of her shoe and she lost it. I'm sure she would have just sat down and cried if she was alone.)
I could not find Tyler after it was over, and I was getting worried when I thought he might go to the van. I was grateful to see his head moving around in the van when I got close!!!



The kids filled and hide Easter eggs in the house for each other. They liked hiding them just as much as finding them.
