Making Memories

Every year we brave the weather to make a memory.  This year we banged out the memory in about 15 minutes.  A local community center hosts an annual Easter Egg Hunt and we have participated in almost every year since Colby was born.

Year One

And the answer you are looking for is yes, it is a scary bunny but the big kicker is that year he was talking!  Colby didn't seem to mind but isn't it a rule that mascots shouldn't speak?

Year Two

And then in 2011 Lincoln joined us in the egg hunting festivities.  The weather was nice enough that a group of friends walked to the local pizza place after the hunt for lunch.

Year Three


We didn't make it last year! I blame a chocolate birthday cake for someone special-Katie R! I won't go into details but Colby wasn't up for running around the next day searching for eggs!

Year Four

And this year, thanks to Easter being so early the hunt took place during winter! Nothing like getting in the spirit with snow on the ground.  Picture an open field filled with eggs, a strong breeze and bare fingers grabbing at eggs.  Yeah, it was pretty crazy!

It was so cold this year that we didn't even stick around for the Easter Bunny! Despite Lincoln's face he and Colby had a great time collecting the eggs and checking out their haul but they had no problem heading home as soon as it was over. 

That's us, making memories even in the freaking cold!  I can only hope Easter is late next year!
