Ok, so I know Easter was now over a week ago but it's still the Easter season so this post is completely relevant!
When we were kids we used to go every year to my great-aunt Eileen's ranch for a big family Easter egg hunt. It was a blast! The tradition died for a few years in junior high and high school but then my cousin Natalie revived it a few years ago and now we have a whole new generation of kiddos enjoying the egg hunt!
She owns about 17 acres - fortunately we don't use the whole space for the egg hunt!
But it is tough to find all the eggs, especially among cow pies :)
Also, there is always a golden egg each year (and this year a silver.) It is a BIG deal to find it and this year Little Buddy was the winner with Gavin getting the silver!
Another tradition is the piñata. We've been doing this since we were kids and I don't know what it is but everyone loves it.
The next generation in our family: Gavin, Elise, Ellie and Ethan going through their loot.
We also do games for the kids each year and it's fun to see them try and play. They are trying to balance the egg on the end of a spoon here while trying not to touch it. Key word: trying.
Always lots of fun cousin time!
And the whole group! I'm very lucky to have such a great place to spend a wonderful holiday with most of my family!
