Don't have any really great pictures to post but for the sake of Journaling here they are.
First we have Easter. Easter was fun (after our Wal-Mart experience). We were in Grants the night before and got to participate in the Wal-Mart Easter Egg hunt. Wow! Yeah! We just happened to be there as it began and of coarse the kids wanted to do it so I said "Hey what the heck" lets go for it. So Niwiss and Bells were ready to go with there "wal-mart bags". They were in the 4-6 year old group. There were thousands of eggs laid out before us. We thought we had a good chance to get a few eggs. I get choked up when I think about what happened when the horn blew. Imagine the eggs as grass and the kids as lawn mowers. Niwiss and Bells held hands and took off and one by one the eggs disappeared just as they bent down to pick them up. They went from one end of the field to the other end with the same result every time. They did not pick up one egg. It was both the sweetest thing to watch and the most heart wrenching things to watch. They were so sweet holding each others hand not pushing and shoving even though all the other kids were. They came back with an empty bag, crying. After watching this the older kids had a game plan and decided that if they were going to get anything they would have to get mean. On their turn they were tripped and shoved but managed to get about 6 or 7 eggs each so they shared a few with the younger kids. I heard it was crazy but never believed it. Now, I do. Never again! Never will I go to a Wal-Mart Easter Egg Hunt!
On Sunday we had our own egg hunt. It was much more civil and a lot more fun!
