Yesterday Donna went to Easter service with Scott and family while I hung out at the cabin. After the service there was an Easter egg hunt, making that 3 egg hunts in 24 hours for the kids. On Saturday to go along with the one Donna’s brother’s family puts on for a few of the neighborhood kids, there was the one held at the local IGA.
That’s right, the only grocery store in the town of Granite Falls, hides hundred of plastic eggs filled with candy on the floor and in the bottom couple of shelves, then turns lose about 75 scrambling kids from 2 to 12 years old looking for them. Each kid is also given a special egg with a number in it so at the end they each get a separate special prize ranging from bubbles to plastic toys to chocolate bunnies.
Because the event starts at 10:00 AM on a Saturday there are invariably 1 or 2 people who end up doing their weekly grocery shopping during this small riot of kids & parents and just shrug it off. Ahh, small town life.
Today was a rainy and cool day, so we hung around the cabin while the Morrisons did their own thing. We did go over for supper where we made plans to go tulip hunting tomorrow.
