Easter Egg Ant Attack!

My mom's work schedule has changed recently to have Fridays off.  These are GREAT days to have off especially when thy coincide with the kids having a day off the weekend of Easter.  And they get just a tad GREATER when Stephen is gone all weekend at the Aaronic Priesthood encampment and I'm flying solo and Grandparents Lewis invite us over for lunch and an Easter Egg Hunt.

We enjoyed having grandpa draw favorite characters free hand on brown paper sacks to hold the eggs in--Sam wanted Yoshi, Matthew wanted Super Mario, Kaitlyn wanted a Littlest Petshop and Lindsey had a mermaid Hello Kitty.  It's really cool to have a grandpa who is an artist, I'm just saying....

 

So we headed out to collect about 40 eggs.  The FIRST one out was Matthew and he got his egg.  With great excitement he opened his egg only to FREAK OUT and drop everything, the two egg parts, and the candy...

If you look closely you'll see that in the time the eggs had been placed outside, ANTS had found about a forth of our eggs and decided they wanted some candy too.  So thus began the checking of each egg that was found and the ant filled ones were put in the watering barrel used to grow strawberries, it definitely made this hunt memorable!

 

 Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for a great adventure!
