Easter

Sydney and I went to visit my side of the family for Easter this year. Donnie had another obligation and couldn't make the trip, so we had to go it alone. We normally do not travel for Easter, but our mission this time was twofold - 1. Celebrate Easter and collect lots of candy on the egg hunt and 2. Babysit for two weeks after the whole shindig.

One of my brothers (I have 3)is moving to Guam with his family. They will be there for about two years, and it is work related. He and his wife went over to finalize some plans and find a place to live. While they were gone, Sydney and I helped out with their 4 children. They are all older (the youngest is 6 and the oldest is 16) so it was a really easy assignment. We pretty much just provided taxi service and meals.

So on Easter all 30 of us congregated at my brother's house after Church for dinner and the egg hunt. It was nice to see everyone and to spend time with family. Sydney didn't "find" too many eggs though. Once she picked up her first two she refused to let them go and pick up more! She held on to those two little plastic eggs for close to an hour, but it seemed like all day! Some of her cousins pitched in and gave her a few eggs. Of course they were the eggs with the "yucky" candy!
