Easter Fun

Easter was so much fun this year. This was the first year we really got into decorating eggs, which is my favorite part. The boys loved dipping them into the different colors and seeing what they came out like. We got lucky too, no spills. We had our fair share of egg hunts too. On Thurs. we had our ward playgroup egg hunt (thank goodnes it was warm!), then on Friday we had the Hawkins side egg hunt at the Whitney Pockets, and on Sat. the Burgess side egg hunt, and then Easter on Sunday. Too much candy was the end result.

This metallic paint from Wallyworld was fun

What a face, we went swimming afterward, Mark's pool was heated and the kids all loved it.

I decided this was the perfect size basket for kids who had already had too much candy and lots of fun!

Red Cliffs

It was finally warm for a minute a few weeks ago so we all went to Red Cliffs for some sunshine. It was packed! We packed picnic lunches, the boys were so excited to use our actual picnic basket. We ate lunch up on this cliff which was perfect for the kids. They hiked around or "climbed mountains" is what Jaxon would call it. We looked for lizards and played in the water a bit. Southern Utah is just beautiful, so different than anywhere else.

Jax was insistent that he catch that lizard! We actually caught one the other day by the house so he knew he could get it, but we were unsuccessful.
Jax climbed to the top of this tree all by himself no help. It was getting down that was the tricky part.

Aren't these kids wonderful! There is nothing better than cousins that are so close they are like brothers and sisters!

Our happy picnic!
