The hunt...

So, after coloring Easter eggs, we had a little egg hunt in our yard.  For Owen, of course.

We gave him a 30 second head start, since he's so much younger than the others.  He was impressed they came out with such enthusiasm!  (Impressed, and maybe a wee bit intimidated)

Oh no, these teenagers were NOT just hunting eggs to satisfy their younger family member...

Wrestling...shoving...screaming...hitting...you know...just a typical Easter around here.

Gerad looks on in awe of our off-spring, and their cousins' intensity.  Awe, and good humor.  I love that about him.

And *this* would be WHY we have to give Owen a head start!  My goodness!  He'd be trampled!!

Mariah chose to capture the craziness on Isabel's phone.

Isabel saw it first, but Josiah was taller.

Admiring their video...

...with lots of laughs along the way.

What awesome kiddos!  Just goes to show...you're never too old for an egg hunt.

Oh, and it really wasn't all "for Owen," after all!
I love these crazy kids!
