Hoppy Easter

I hope you all enjoyed your Easter weekend! We enjoyed our traditional trip to Blanding with the 'egg role' and picnic, plus quality family time!

Shad's family always drives out in the dessert somewhere outside of town for a picnic. The 'egg roll' is the racing of all our decorated eggs down a track built into the hillside each year. This year the track included a swinging rock and cactus pendulum, a cactus bridge, and a jump through some sage brush. Very creative (I'm typically a cheerleader and not a construction worker at this event). Shad, Lant, and Joe determining, 'this is the place'

We had a great break and were more than thankful for the warm weather-not the usual over Easter weekend!
