The Egg Hunt
A few weeks ago, I emailed my fabulous mother-in-law and asked if it would be too much trouble for them to put together an egg hunt for Brett and me. I still like to hunt for eggs, and since they have a great yard and big hearts willing to do anything for me, I knew this would be fun!
Growing up in Texas, Easter weekend was usually when we opened the pool in our backyard (well, really, only Marty would jump in...but technically that symbolized it was open!) because the warm weather was already here. The day before Easter in Virginia, we woke up with snow. Sunday morning, it was freezing! Nevertheless, Brett and I ran like madpeople in search of at least 33 of 64 eggs (you want to beat the other person, right!?). Or maybe I was the one going nuts over finding them. Everyone knew I was getting serious when I took off my church shoes and went barefoot 
(did I mention it was in the 40s?). My parents had to put our names on our eggs because it got too aggressive. These didn't have names on them, though, and I beat Brett by 4 eggs!
I included an action shot and our stash of eggs! It was great fun!
