Celebrating Easter

This year we stay around Stansbury Park and then decided last minute to drive up to Bear lake and spend it with Rob's family. We started the day off at the county Easter Egg hunt. This was a our first time at this hunt. They did a really good job, the hunt was divided up in age groups (3-4). The field was full of eggs, boxes of egg dye, Easter baskets, bat and balls and footballs. Karlee was pretty hesitant while waiting for the hunt to start - but after the pep talk from her dad she was ready to go.

Waiting for Easter Hunt to begin

Karlee made a haul. She got two boxes of egg dye, a carrot bat and ball, and she grabbed a pink Easter basket full of yummy treats, a little book, and a Nerf football.

After the Easter egg hunt we went back home and quickly packed out bags to drive up to Bear lake. We had a great drive up and arrived just in time to participate in the traditional Easter Egg Roll. Now this is a tradition that Rob has been doing since he was a kid. They find a hill, dig out a trench (race track) for the eggs. The Easter egg roll starts out with a contest on the colored eggs - ugliest egg, most creative egg, favorite egg, most unique, etc. All the winners get prizes!

Getting ready for the Easter Egg Roll

Karlee got a prize for the most favorite egg. The prize she chose were sidewalk chalk. Rob also entered one of his painted egg and that won (can't remember what for). So he took a TMNT puzzle,

Once the egg contest is over everyone takes their eggs up to the top of the hill and then the egg roll begins. The first egg to get to the bottom first wins. With the kids there really wasn't one big winner - they were all winners! Karlee had so much fun.

Oh had to put in a picture of the Easter Egg Roll "Judge" - Rob. He did an amazing job. He also was the one who dug out a trench for the eggs to be rolled down. (Thought I had gotten a picture of the trench - didn't). Rob did a great job!

Easter morning came early except that Karlee didn't. She has been one tired little girl. She didn't really want to get up and look at what the Easter bunny had brought her. She got pretty lucky. Lots of candy and a Princess LeapPad game. Checking out her Easter basket was kinda overwhelming due to being super tired. Church was at 9:00 so we hurried to get ready.

"Super" Karlee checking out her basket.

After Church all the kids got their baskets and off they went on a little Easter egg hunt around the house. There were so many eggs and they all did a great job and found them all. More candy - wow! Really?! Ugh. haha.  I think that Karlee got more candy and chocolate for Easter than she did at Halloween. Glad that everyone in Rob's family loves it all - Karlee loves to share.

On our way home we stopped in at a small little park just as we exited Logan canyon. We stopped and fed the ducks some bread. Honestly don't know who enjoyed it most Karlee or Rob. There were a good mix of duck, seagulls, and Canadian Geese and looks like they enjoyed the bread.

Once all the bread was gone, even including the bread that Karlee decided to enjoy, we were back on the road headed home. We had such a fun little escape and a super fun Easter.
