Easter Egg hunt!!

Zeb, Ike, and I decided to try and do something exciting this morning before conference (it starts at noon out here so we had plenty of time). Kent has a class from 8-4 today and I knew we'd be inside for the majority of the day listening to conference so I wanted to get OUTside. I had heard about an Easter egg hunt at one of the Christian churches nearby so we decided to check it out.

We ended up running into friends from Ann Arbor (it was so fun to see the Webers!) and another family from the ward so it was a lot of fun.

Zeb LOVED the egg hunt (really it was an egg "pickup"- nothing was hidden), making his own sparkly cross and resurrection bracelet, and coloring his "Jesus loves me" coloring page- but was traumatized by the other events.










He would not get near the Easter Bunny. He does look a little dingy to me but was rather pleasant otherwise! Ike had no problems with him.

And here is Zeb FREAKING out after the man in charge asked the kids to "shout hooray for Jesus". It scared him BAD!

They had Pizza at the end and Zeb got some prizes and candy! He actually nabbed one of the giant "special" eggs in the hunt (we lucked out and he ended up in the 0-2 age category so he was about the only kid walking on his own- plus I made him go for the big egg first!) and won a stuffed animal and some good chocolate!

That's awesome! Poor Zebby. Maybe you should start shouting more for Jesus ;)

Good thing we don't have a "shout out for Jesus" every week in our meetings! Zeb will do much better with a more reverent atmosphere. Looks like a lot of fun. Way to go Zeb - you're carrying on your mom's lucky prize winning streak.
