There were over 50 kids and over 2000 eggs. It was crazy. It seems to get bigger every year. The kids (except for Caitlyn), are pretty much too old for the egg hunts now, so they have Caitlyn grab a few egg and they split the booty between the four girls. Mostly, they went out in search of the "special" eggs which contain gift certificates to Dairy Queen. Abby found one but ended up giving it to Emily.
The girls got to play and visit with their friends for a while but then we had to drag them away around noon to get back to the house to meet up with Marian, who was coming by to do another egg hunt for them.

Marian arrived in time for a late lunch. Christian started working on our car which needs some work before our next big outting during Spring Break. I worked on lunch while Marian worked on her Easter Egg Hunt. She put together some rather elaborate plan to make it a bit more difficult for the girls but then we found out that she included us in on part of the hunt.
Some of the eggs contained treats and some contained clues for part two of the elaborate hunt.
While we searched for our clues, she proceeded with stage two.
The whole thing took quite a while and there seemed to be endless surprises. Marian figured that it should be their last egg hunt and wanted to go out with a bang I guess. The girls are trying to convince her that they are not too old yet for egg hunts though.
While Caitlyn and Christian was out on their overnight trip on the portaledge, Emily and I put together a few things for a minor egg hunt for Marian. It was only a few treats.
We visited for a bit longer before Marian had to depart and Christian had to desperately get back to work on our vehicle. Unfortunately, we found out that it needs more work than we anticipated so there will be many more weekends of work on the vehicle in our future.
