Mar- Week 4- Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt, St. George (Saturday)

A little back tickle train during bedtime stories and scriptures.  :) 

Tuesday we got lots of snow, I attended the stake RS class, and in the evening I attended my first Caucus.  It was very interesting to witness the caucus political process.  

Thursday I attended moms and muffins in the morning at McKenna's school.  Bethany started having a runny nose and fever.  So sad.  We also had our neighbor Gigi over to play with Anna.  The kids sure love it when Dan comes home and it's a good thing he has such a long lap.  ;) 

Friday we went to our neighborhood Easter Egg hunt.  

We then came home and dyed some eggs.  We used the traditional dunk method as well as this bag method.  The dye in the bag made the eggs shimmery.  

We always arrange for the Easter bunny to come Friday night before Easter Sunday.  So Friday night we set out carrots and McKenna wrote a note.  

Friday night we also stayed up late packing for our Spring Break trip to St. George.  Bethany decided to stay up late with us...well, me. Dan was actually asleep.  

Saturday morning the kids found their baskets then filled them with candy.  

We ate a quick breakfast and left for St. George!  The roads were actually pretty snowy, icy, and a little scary when certain drivers weren't paying attention.  We caravanned down with the Alexanders and made it to the Red Rock Garden picnic area by 12:30 and met the Moulton family there.  We ate lunch and had fun climbing around.  Most of our St. George pictures are of Anna because the older two big kids were always off with their friends. 

Around 2:30 we headed over to the Alexander's condo where we would be staying and the kids rode bikes and played.  We got Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner and then the women and Charley headed to a stake center to watch the General Women's Meeting.  

After baths and the kids were in bed, Dan went to a reunion of sorts to play games with 3 of his high school friends who happened to be in St. George as well.
