Easter





We had a very relaxed, enjoyable Easter, which is just what we needed. We were going to take a trip to Steamboat Springs for the break, but decided to put the extra money towards the cement for a patio in our backyard. I am so happy about that decision! The kids now have a decent place to play basketball.

The Easter Bunny always hides the kids' baskets in the oddest places. Madison found hers on top of the roof! Once all the baskets were found, we let the kids loose to find all the eggs. The children were delighted to find a large swimming pool that the bunny left in the camper. This was another reason we decided to pour the patio, we needed a place for the pool. We will be staying nice and cool this summer, although it's hard to believe that Vernal is capable of becoming warmer than 49 degrees.

Later that day, we went for a picnic at Docs Beach. Of course we took the four-wheeler because that area has some fun ATV trails. We roasted hotdogs and built egg trails so that we could race our eggs. Then Tyler and the kids lined up all the beautifully decorated eggs and shot them with their rifles! Oh well, at least I don't have beautiful eggs sitting around to rot.

Sounds like your Easter was so fun! I may need to come down and try out that pool with you this summer.
