Hoppy Easter

 Audra shows us her loot, an Easter basket tradition passed down from Daddy, baseball cards.
 Grady is on the hunt for "Easters". He kept calling the eggs "Easters"
 Audra's turn to find an egg. This one EB hid in her doll stroller. Grady loved the hunt so much after he found them he hid them again and went hunting for "Easters" all over a couple more times.
 Hmmm where did they hide those pesky "Easters"?
 Grandpa Randy appreciates Grady's thorough searching so he doesn't have to keep picking up eggs into the summer. However Grandma Barb isn't so happy about the eggs in her flower garden, especially with the early spring we have had.
 Audra isn't quite as enthused about the hunt as her brother. But she gets a helping hand from her friend Mary and...
 ...Marge, who give her a little guidance.
 Grady saw EB and stopped his hunting long enought to give him a hug. Audra on the other hand wanted nothing to do with the giant rabbit!
 Easter isn't just for the kids at the Phelps Family gathering. Friends and Family also participated in a few egg games of their own.
 After all the games Aunt Ashley helped the kids to make sure all the "Easters" were found.
 Audra all tuckered out after a day filled with fun and chocolate!
 On Sunday it was on to round 3 in the quest for the elusive "Easters". This time the hunt took place at Grandma and Grandpa Lobenstein's.
 Grandpa's Annual Egg Diagram and Ground Rules.
 Grandpa reviews the rules a final time before turning the boys loose.
 Grady searches for more "Easters" while Grandpa looks on and Luke searches in the background.
 Audra gets a hand from Aunt Michelle. In order for Audra to have a chance Grandpa put out eggs a certain color that were off limits to boys and in locations a little more accessible for her.
 Easter Bunnies must like hiding their eggs in Grandma's flowers.
 Tracking EB to edge of the woods.
 What is more strange an Egg or a Frog in a hammock?
 Luke helps Audra look at the camera.
 Look shows off his loot.
 Audra proud of her egg collection. She also shows us that eggs had chocolate inside.
Lunch time will have to wait until after the Easter Baskets are raided.

Happy Easter to All!
