Easter Egg Hunt

Journaling: You never fail to bring a smile to my face. Today we colored Easter Eggs. You were so excited you have been talking about it for weeks. After we painted the eggs you can up to me and said, “Mom I’m the Easter Bunny, come and find your eggs.” You hide all eighteen of the eggs throughout the house. The first thought that ran through my head was, I hope they are dry – they were. We spent the next hour or so, looking for the eggs. We put the eggs back in their carton so every time we found another bunch of eggs you would stop and say, “Now how many eggs do we have left.” And count the spaces. Those last two were hard to find. Especially since the last one was in the garbage can. It was broken so you threw it out. It was broken before you hide it. March 21, 2008

Tabaggan Run LO

Journaling: We had promised Justin and Kevin that we would get together to go sledding before winter was over. It turned out that the only weekend that would work was January 19, 2008, when the weather was below zero. So we drove up to Oshkosh, Wisconsin to Uncle Danny, Aunt Liz, Kevin, and Maggie’s house.

Uncle Danny built any incredible toboggan run in their back yard. It started half way down the hill and extended onto the frozen lake (it was over a foot of ice). He built a wood platform to get down to the lake. He covered it with carpet so the snow would stick to it. Dan brought the snow blower down to the lake so he could build walls for the path. It was a very impressive run. Tim, Dan, and Grandpa Lynch spent hours perfecting it. Shoveling, snow blowing, and wetting the path for extra speed – something Liz and I were happy without.

We had such a fun time. The weather was cold but it didn’t feel that bad with all our layers and being shielded from the wind.

Uncle Danny got the record for the furthest slide – 95 feet!
