So I might be a bit late but here are our Easter pic's. We of course colored eggs all together, a tradition. The kids love to do it and we love to watch them.I think Katie is the most fun to watch, if we gave her 5 dozen eggs she would still want more at the end.
Jon got an egg and Nixon of course tried to put it in his mouth. He didn't think it tasted very good!
The many eggs....
Nixon's egg.
We all write our name on one egg and color it. It is a Spear Family thing I guess. So here is Nixon's egg!
Jon of course has to be serious about his egg and get it just right! Just like pumpkin carving I think.
Then there is my egg that I just throw together because Nixon wants to play with the cups with "water" in them.
Katie color the last of the eggs and putting shimmer on them.
Yeah Jon's egg!
And of course we had an Easter egg hunt. HOWEVER.... Jon, Cameron and Karen put together a Geo-cashing Easter Egg Hunt for us, where we had earth coordinates and clues to where to find the eggs around Spokane Valley. It was VERY clever and I think it was a success. Karen is on this big kick right now of finding Geo-cashing treasure, it's kinda funny.
It all started in the driveway and these were our clues:
#1. This is going to be fun - Find a yellow Easter egg out front near the sun!
The egg was in the front yard by my yellow sun stepping stone. Inside the egg it gave longitude and latitude coordinates to the next clue.
Garret was pretty excited as you can tell!
Which took us to the park by the Temple. And here was our clue #2. Some tables have metal this one is ALL wood - Find the egg around the wood if you could.
There are a bunch of tables under the pavillian but a few in the woods and we found the one that didn't have metal legs.....
And there in the trees was our yellow egg.
Very excited spectators
In the car we go to the next coordinates.
Which took us to Chester Elementary. #3. Can you spell Easter? That is the gig - to find the egg you might have to dig.
Here we were and Tanner and Katie dug for the egg. Garret was happy to play on the slide...that might have been wet from the rain that day..oops!
Digging, digging
They found it! And we put the coordinates in the GPS.
It took us up to Ponderosa.
Clue #4. Follow the trail an "X" you will see use your good eyes to find the dead tree.... Ho Ho Ho.
The "X" on the trail.
That looks like a dead tree alright, a dead "Christmas" tree. Clever!!
Katie found the egg in the tree.
This egg took us up to the new houses up in the back of Ponderosa. Clue #5. In this quest we are not seeking a pine, look for the BIG rock with a RED line.
Found the BIG rocks.
There's the line!
And the egg!!
Which took us to Grammy's house. Where clue #6 said: The eggs are calling, they can't hardly wait you will find them out beyond the back gate. (Where the dogs wouldn't find them..)
Here is Tanner and Katie with their "loot", yeah don't get too excited about it now....
We had a lot of fun on our Geo-cashing Easter Egg Hunt... Thanks Grammy, Cam and Jon! Too bad Nixon slept through the WHOLE thing. Hee Hee
My Dad and Linda gave him a singing "Duck Bunny" that Nixon thought was pretty funny.
A new outfit from Nana B Nana!
But of course our boy LOVED the card and paper the best, I had to dig it out of his mouth after he sucked on it for a minute.
Easter Sunday pictures.... of course.
What a handsome family!!
The End,
Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!!
