Easter 2013

Time for our annual Barman Easter Egg Hunt!  We were debating which day would be better (weather wise) and finally decided to stick with Sunday...and pray no rain!  Grandad had fun throwing all 800+ eggs on the ground for the 7 grandkids to find!  Here is Uncle Willy guarding his yard.

Grammy had different bags for the kids this year, which proved to be difficult to hold AND put eggs in.  The twins quickly realized that they could grab more eggs by leaving the bag behind (and running back & forth).

Grammy & Grandad have always placed little surprises in the yard for each of the grandkids.  This year, they had Easter pencils and cute little pinwheels.  Once we were in our neighborhood, We rolled down the windows and let the kids enjoy their pinwheels.
Grammy & Grandad also put lots of change in the eggs.  Each of the kids came home with a good chunk of change!  They combined what they received from the hunt with their previous allowance to purchase a few animals from the zoo giftshop (Otter, Polar Bear, Cheetah & Panda Bear).
