Easter Weekend!

We had a fun Easter weekend! Adam headed to Vegas to watch a wrestling tournament on that Friday and Sat. so we missed him at many of our festivities--- but we still had a great time.  (I know he had a great time as well and had fun catching up with some of his buddies that were there).
We started our Easter fun on Friday night with the Wittwers. We had a picnic potluck and then an egg hunt. Lincoln got a whole basketfull--- although he was only supposed to get 10-- but Norah was happy with the 1 egg that Nana threw in her lap.

Sat. afternoon we headed up to the Red Cliffs and had our yummy and hot easter picnic lunch. Norah LOVED all the dirt. She was perfectly content just playing in the red sand- even when Lincoln and Andrew would dump sand all over her head.  By the end of the afternoon she was a red head.

Next up was the egg hunt. We hide all the eggs in all the crevasses and bushes, It is always a fun hunt for the kids.  Once again Norah was content with one egg.. Lincoln did a great job at spotting out the eggs.  Here are all the kids (and the one big kid(Pops) before the hunt began).  

 And they are off---

 After the hunt, all the kids empty the candy out of the eggs and then dump the plastic eggs down the red rocks. Lincoln loved it. He was standing at the bottom and he got so excited as all the eggs came rushing down to him! I think he thought they were still full of candy and he was going to get more!

Norah found a bag of chips opened and helped herself. I think she liked what she tasted! OH and can you tell she loved getting dirty. Not my best idea to have her in white.

 I love my Grandpa and Grandma!  All of my wonderful Barton family because of these two amazing individuals! I love that they still made the hike down to celebrate with us!

The next day(Sunday) and actual Easter we went to church and then after church we had our own little Easter egg hunt in our backyard because Adam wanted to see Lincoln find some eggs because he missed the previous two hunts. So we reused the same plastic eggs and Adam filled them up with pretzels, marshmellows, a dandelion, and some of the candy we got from before. It was pretty funny watching Lincoln open some of the eggs to see what he had found.
