First Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday was a big day.  Kate and I went to Mrs. Betsy's baby sprinkle and had a great time!  There was a great turnout with lots of food, presents, games and good company.  Kate and I ended up leaving a little early since I had to make sure she got a nap before the church Easter Egg Hunt.

For the past couple years, the event has been at the Lake House in the Centerville Conservation Community. I had never been there before and it was beautiful. Justin helped cook hot dogs and hamburgers and we both helped hide Easter eggs.  The lesson we learned for next year: start the hunt shortly after you hide eggs to avoid melting chocolate and ants. Not a good combination. Kate was a natural hunter, but I wasn't surprised since she is her father's daughter.

Success!  These two were a force to be reckoned with.

After the Easter egg hunt, we quickly got ready for Jordan and Katie's engagement party that night.  Ms. Sarah (who I used to babysit for) came over to watch Kate - her first "official" (paid) babysitter.  Thankfully, Ms. Sarah gave us a good report when we got back.

It was a busy, busy day Saturday and it's not over yet.  We have another Easter egg hunt next weekend with the Sapp family (Emeline and Nolan) and the following weekend is Easter!
