Easter

 Another successful Easter day!  We had 23 plus two babes here for dinner and egg games.  We are lucky and we know it, there was plenty of food, everyone was healthy and the family is growing (thus the two little ones) and even though some of the third generation are off on their own they still come for the day.

After dinner PH takes over the day with his egg games.  Everyone takes part, and there are prizes!

He is giving instructions for the egg roll down the driveway.  Even though we've done this for several years, this year the driveway is new and smooth as a baby's butt so while the game was the same the playing field was very different. 

Our two year old started us off. We all thought, "aw, how cute!" but his egg rolled all the way down to the street and as it kept going and going and going we all started to say, "Oh no!"

This is the big difference.  Our driveway is very long and curves and this year it's new and smooth.  Those eggs just kept on a goin' down to the street.  In the past we had divots and pot holes and gravelly pieces to stop them.  Not this year.  They just kept on a goin'   In an attempt to divert I tossed a couple of sticks on the surface.  Ha. Nice try.

The winner won by mere inches as they puddled at the bottom right at the street's edge.  That yellow one was the winner. Inches.

The raw egg toss was next.  I had to swallow hard as I stood on the porch taking pictures and watched a dozen eggs smashed to the ground.  This year they aren't cheap (cheep!)

It's serious stuff.  We discovered years ago, with each step back, the farther away you are for your catch your rings can tunk just enough to break the egg.

                                                     Thus the aprons.  There was splash.

                                                                        The scorecard. 

We had fun, toddlers to teenagers to seniors we all ate, laughed and played games. Who could ask for more?
