EASTER PICNIC 2010

We headed out to a fun spot at Manganese Springs on Utah Hill. Had a fun day of four wheeling, climbing, egg hunting and eating.
All the kids were trying to climb on the four wheeler at once, so we tried to snap their picture. It's a little like herding cats- while they were all contained- they weren't necessarily all cooperative!!

Bentley, Mattix, Hannah, Cru, Jacoby, Seth, MaKaty, Ava and Chloe



Aren't these great HOOD ORNAMENTS? MaKaty, Chloe, and Ava are all as different as can be- all contain lots of spunk and independence- so sitting side by side- is quite unusual!!
Jacoby on the very top of the peak
Grandpa and MaKaty
Jacoby at the cave, above our "kitchen" - as he called it
MaKaty is a good little climber, and Grandpa's not bad either!
MaKaty and Indy
Hannah said that this is "paradise- just laying in the sun relaxing and thinking things to yourself"

Chloe is quite the driver- unfortunately the picture below is typical driving for her- she is more into looking at whose behind her than where she is driving- she took out some chairs, bushes, near misses on trees, vehicles and people



Nearly every posting of adventures- shows Grandpa on some cliff pointing out nature points

Grandpa got to drive his new fourwheeler for the first time since brain surgery
McLain, Bentley and Seth

He is only smiling for the picture because I was blocking the road and wouldn't let him go until he let us celebrate this ride after months of recovery
Mattix and Jacoby
McKenna and Ava
Creative Hannah found this rock, located some charcoal in the firepit and entertained herself with Tic-Tac-Toe while we unloaded
How many cousins can fit on one fourwheeler


Makaty and some serious egg hunting
Bentley is a very earnest egg hunter, he is such a calm, careful kid
Cru wants UP

The eggs were hidden in every nook and cranny- (estimated number about 300)
I just love Ava's hair and style
Mattix was totally happy with this one soccer Easter Egg

These eggs were hidden in difficult places for the older kids- but Seth is determined to get to them
Once Mattix got one egg in each hand, he was done
McKenna is a very shapely woman
Garrett filming Ava
We are so glad that Grandpa is back on top of the world again- THANK YOU HEAVENLY FATHER
SOme of the eggs are in rather difficult spots



Cru sharing with Grandma
