The Saturday before Easter, we had lunch at Granny and Grandpa’s house. Great grandparents, Great Uncle Mark, Uncle Chris, and Cousin Brad were there too. We dyed eggs and Grandpa setup an egg hunt. It was the kids first hunt. Once they opened up the first egg and got the treat, they were hooked.

After a weekend visit from the Neill’s and their daughter Bella, on their suggestion we gave each kid their own half corn on the cob. They were a little slow on the get-go, but it didn’t take long for them to be old pros.
