Jake's favorite part of the afternoon.... THE MOONBOUNCE
Today we went to the 1st of 3 Easter Egg Hunts. This one was sponsored by a local campsite that I never even really knew existed! The Easter bunny was there and they had egg hunts set up for 2 different age groups. 1 - 3 yr olds and then 4 and up. The only problem with this is the 4, 5 & 6 year olds were RUN OVER by the 8, 9 and 10 year olds as they were hunting for eggs. Jake was crushed to only get 4 eggs. However, he was pleased that there was CANDY in each of them!!!
Kiah did a little better with 9 eggs. My mom actually found the SUPER DUPER SPECIAL egg which she knew was a big deal but graciously pointed it out to another child since he didn't have many eggs. My mom made mention of the egg during the hunt but I was so involved with making sure Kiah got some eggs that I didn't realize what she had said. Shortly after the egg hunts were over the mom of the little boy walked up to us and handed this very special egg back to my mom. The lady said, "Please take this. It is really yours." My mom handed it to me and as I looked down at it I noticed that inside the see-through plastic was a scrap of paper that read: You've won $25.00. It was so nice for this lady to give the egg to my mom. My mom is one of the most generous, giving, loving people I know. I aspire to have this quality. She is a great role model. I immediately decided that I would donate the money to a child's cleft sugery though Love Without Boundaries. When we claimed the prize I made sure that they knew that was where the money was going. It was wonderful to see kindness was returned with kindness especially during this special season of Easter.
