Easter Egg Hunt

Kirsten shows off one of her "eggs" -- it was really a frog. She held it for over 20 minutes before she finally released it back to its habitat. We spent Saturday morning and afternoon at my in-laws house having Easter dinner and letting the kids participate in an Easter egg hunt. We try to get together every year on holidays to eat and visit. We do not always have our gatherings on the holiday itself, but it is always very close to the day -- Easter, July 4th, Thanksgiving, Christmas.
Alec slows down near the end of the hunt just long enough for me to snap a picture. He claims that he always finds the most eggs - he did this year too. After all the eggs are found, we divide them up equally so that all the kids get the same amount of money.
Kirsten looks pretty with the green grass as a background. She still enjoys the hunt!
This is a close up picture of her frog.
After the hunt was over, the kids had fun blowing bubbles at each other. They had a contest to see who could blow the biggest bubble.
Kirsten loves to drive the Cub Cadet. This belongs to her Grandpa and Grandma and they are nice enough to let her drive it when she comes to visit. We had a good day of lots of food and good family time. Mitch has four sisters and one brother and almost everyone was in attendance. We have a pretty big crowd when we all get together.
