After church we headed up to Paragoonah to stay the night. We played games, including Seth's favorite - Apples to Apples, and watched a movie.
Seth and Camryn stayed with Grandma and Grandpa, while Dave and I took Lex up to Price. They had a fun day going to water aerobics with Grandma (Seth forgot his swim shorts and his jacket so he had to borrow stuff from Grandpa. The shorts had a hard time staying up.), they rode the horses, in the afternoon it snowed and they even got to make a snowman.
We went up to Price to tour USU Eastern. We got to walk around the campus and see the classrooms and dorms. We met with the women's soccer coach and Lex got to practice with the team too. She gave the coach a verbal commitment to come and play for their team. She is excited to be able to go to school in Utah and to continue to play the sport she loves.
We drove back to Paragoonah. We hit a big snowstorm and it was pretty slow going. We picked up the kids and visited with Grandma and Grandpa for a few minutes and then headed home. It was a short trip but it felt good to have Lex settled on a school.

Lex worked most of Spring Break, but we talked her into getting up early Friday morning to dye eggs. She painted one for her new school.
The kids are more into painting than dying.
It's definitely more creative, but also more messy!
We made a lot of eggs, A LOT!
That night we had a sleepover with the cousins. We met up with Jo's family at Mountain's Edge Park. The kids played on the playground and we had a picnic dinner. After dinner, they all played a little soccer
and rolled down the grassy hills.
Back at the house, we made a fire and roasted marshmallows
and played games until bedtime.
The next morning was the Jenkins Family Egg Hunt. We started with breakfast burritos, which were a lot of work to mass produce, but they were delicious. Then the teenagers went out to hide the eggs. Lee put $5 in one of the eggs so the kids were pretty motivated to find them.
The little ones were so cute.
Ryan brought out the confetti eggs - -which are fun but I find that confetti around the house for so long afterwards!
The teens were too cool to play.
Chase, Ethan, Sydney, Lex
It took a while to find so many eggs and the $5 egg was up around the porch roof and was tough to find too. We finally got them all and rounded up all the kids for a picture.

The kids got new church clothes from the Easter Bunny. It was nice to have a whole week off and we struggled back to school the next day.
