Thomson Easter Egg Hunt and Cook-Out

After Ethan's baptism we headed to Blackfoot for Grandma and Grandpa Thomson's annual Easter Egg Hunt. It has been a while since we've been able to go to their house. It was so nice to be able to visit with everybody. Nate was very sad he had to work, but we took lots of pictures to show him.

As the bigger kids were hiding the eggs, Glenn went and got a chick to entertain the little kids. The girls thought it was so cool. Kayla was thrilled to get to hold it, and it presented her with a nice present on her pants. She handled it well, and we just cleaned her up.
Allie refused to hold the chick after that, but she did enjoy petting its soft feathers.

I found one Mommy!

The girls filled their buckets completely full. They really had a blast.

Which of course meant that we had to wipe them off after a couple of dips into the ashes. I was informed hot dogs taste much better when cooked over a fire, and I needed to start doing that at home. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid they're just going to have to live with grilled hot dogs until we go camping this summer.
