Easter Family Activities

The Saturday before Easter we enjoyed some family activities.  Here are some of the things we did.

The girls took part in the community egg hunt.  It was a chilly 35 degrees and the wind was blowing.  There were 8000 eggs and probably about 1000 people in attendance.  

Here we are waiting for the hunt to begin.  We waited about 30 minutes for a 3 minute hunt.

Once they blew the horn Sofia was off and running.  She ended up with 7 eggs.
Selah took her time and picked up one egg at a time.  She ended up with four.
Of course, what is a community event without face painting?:)

At home we opted to make some other kinds of eggs then the traditional dyed ones.

First up, jell-o eggs.  Yummy!

Then we made some rice krispy eggs that were dipped in chocolate and sprinkles.
We also made some krispy bunnies and some baskets with eggs.
Of course, we had a ton of the plastic eggs for a family hunt.  The eggs were filled with crayons and stickers.  A few of them had chocolate.
But the activity to remind us what Easter truly is about:  a Lego CROSS!!!
