Easter Saturday

Sorry it has been so long...Ben started 2nd shift a few weeks back. We have been really busy!



As for Easter, we have to spread it out because we can't make 3 places in one day. Since Ben actually had this weekend off, we decided to do Easter Egg Hunts on Saturday morning and afternoon before heading to Carmi for my family's Easter dinner. We went to Gentryville and Owensboro on Sunday after church for Easter with both sides of Ben's family (that will be the next post).



The first Easter Egg Hunt that we went to we chose because it said that it had a food allergy friendly section. Drew had already said that he wanted to do Easter Egg Hunts this year even if he couldn't have the candy (he said that he wanted to give it to his mommy). We thought that we would give this one a try way out in German Township (the Northwest side of Vanderburgh County). The food allergy friendly section was only chocolate and peanut free...so, we opted for the age group hunt instead. This was hosted at a church that has a puppet group. They put on a show for the kids that were eating their egg cookies and drinking Capri-Sun. Drew was eating his Honey Bees and drinking water. Drew really enjoyed the show. After the show, we lined up for the Easter Egg Hunt. He really had a good time...even though he looks mad in the picture. It was just colder outside than we thought.



We moved up the the full winter coat before we went to the West Side Nut Club Easter Egg Hunt where Drew got to see the Easter Bunny and hunt the "millions" of eggs that were there (actually there were 12,000 - Drew just said that there were millions). This hunt only lasts a matter of seconds...but, it is a lot of fun.



After the 2nd hunt, we headed to Carmi for dinner with my family. We made Jello Jiggler Eggs, dyed eggs, and fixed two meals (one for Saturday night and one for Drew for Sunday). While we were gone to the nursing home to see Grandma Rosalene (my dad's mom that recently went in because she has two broken vertebrae), the Easter Bunny visited mom and dad's house and left a lot of eggs filled with money. Drew had a great time finding all of the eggs. He really liked cracking them open to find out what was inside, too.
