Happy Easter! ...Great Day for an Easter Egg Hunt

Unfortunately, illness had been going around the household around Easter.   Eric came down with it the day before we were to leave for Nana and Bumpa's.  So, I headed up north with Connor and Ramsey.   Riggs stayed home to keep Daddy company.

We had a wonderful time, spending the evening and next day with Nana, Bumpa, Sarah, Troy, Sadie, Isaac, Cory.. and the puppies.

Sunday was the day of the big Easter Egg Hunt.   Ramsey had never gone on an egg hunt before, so we were curious to see his reaction during this "first" for him.   And, Connor is never too old to hunt for goodies from the Easter Bunny, so he was looking forward to it too.

Here's the crew, right before "go time".

 Here's Go Time!!

Ramsey got a lot of help, especially starting out.  He had to get the idea of what this hunt was all about!

 Along the way, he had guidance from all of us.  

 And sometimes, he was just happy doing his own thing, discovering the colored treasures.

 Hunting high and low...

And sometimes finding fun little places to hang out....

Ramsey must have been proud of this egg, as he had to show it to Cousin Isaac.

 Isaac was like a sleuth, searching for eggs.  He scoped out the wood piles... many nooks and crannies.  He looks like King of the Mountain here.

 I guess there weren't any eggs hidden behind the shed.  Hmm.    Ramsey found a stick though.  He grew quite fond of it.

Auntie Sarah got some cute pictures of the boys too!  Thank you, Auntie!

 The hunt went on for quite a while.  There were 67 eggs to find!  Each one of the kids found an egg that had money in it.  Bonus!

Uncle Cory and Bumpa had a pretty nice place to hang out and watch.  :-)

The kids were happy to dissect their eggs and check out their loot!

Look at these super cute cousins!  They really had a wonderful time.

 After we'd returned home from our trip, the boys found the goody baskets that the Easter Bunny had left them too.   Connor's was mostly chocolate and gum and Ramsey's was Star Wars toys and a little bit of chocolate.

Happy Easter!!!!
