April 2013 – Go Hop On Pop

Let’s wrap Spring Break up in a nice little photo bomb. Plans changed at the end of our Spring Break with a surprise visit from Eva and kids. Cousins make everything exciting. We took them with us to Hocking Hills and hiked for hours, lots of stairs and cliffs made it even more exciting. We had a picnic lunch and were freezing, I worried that it would ruin the whole trip down there. Once we started hiking we all warmed up and had a great day.

Saturday morning we got up and took care of some chores and shopping and then colored eggs, had an egg hunt. Painted nails, braided hair etc… Eva lovingly referred to me as a drill Sargent, but we got through everything. Emma and I snuck off that night for the YW conference. We stopped by Chipotle for dinner. When we got home and opened the garage we found Eva standing in there hiding eggs. She made me hide 108 real eggs for Easter. Yikes, I would have never attempted that with church being at 9:00 the next morning. So we woke everyone up at 6:00 am and found all of the eggs but 1. It was found later after church.

On Thursday we had a photo scavenger hunt at the zoo. Emma and Aubrey partnered up, Tanner and Alyssa and Danny and I teamed up with little Hallie. They had a list of 24 things they had to find and 1 animal couldn’t be used more than one time. Some things on the list were an animal sleeping, longest tail, animal that starts with the first letter of your name… They had 1 hour to complete their list. We met back at the merry-go-round. Tanner and Alyssa won with the most complete, but a few of us believe he cheated, not so much cheated as he interpreted the rules different. Emma and Aubrey got the most creative and accurate interpretation of the rules. Hallie won the craziest picture, a picture of a monkey eating poo. I wont post the picture–really gross.
