Easter in Springdale.... cont.

We are moving this month...
I really have not grown too attached to this house over the 5 and 1/2 years we've lived here, even though I do think it's really pretty.  It just never really has felt like my home.  The one place my husband gave me almost free license was the front porch.. and I will miss the front porch.  It is so pretty, especially in Spring while everything is still green.  The new house is super UG.  But it will have it's perks.


So we stayed this weekend at the Zion "Resort."  hee hee.  Just us and a few hundred of our friends.  Surprisingly, it didn't feel crowded though.  Never noisy either.  It's fun to have a place nearby to retreat to whenever we feel like it.  I love Zion and Springdale.


Monkey.  I think I have a hundred pictures of him doing this.  This is the, "whatever you are asking me to do is going to kill me, it's so exhausting" pose.  There is also a towel on his bum.  Don't ask about that.



We went out to Grafton ghost town to do our egg hunt.  I thought it would be fun to let them go inside the buildings to find them.  There were too many people around though, so we drove just a little ways back down the road to the cemetery and hid them up in the hills for the big boys.  Sarah and Josh's were down lower in the bushes. 




The rest of my life this month is going to be packing, cleaning and organizing stuff to move.  Big garage sale this Saturday.  I am so stressed out about getting everything we have accrued over the last 5 1/2 years boxed up or sold or taken to the DI.  It is a super daunting thought.

This weekend we are taking the fifth wheel out to Springdale for our own little Easter celebration and come home Saturday night.  I love Easter, I think because I love tricking my kids and watching them hunt for the eggs.  It won't surprise you that I'm kinda sick that way.

Sarah is my egg filler/helper.  She's very slow.  If I could fire her I would.  I love watching her get excited about every holiday that comes up.  She still is kind of experiencing things for the first time again.  I think the past times she never really understood yet. 


These camouflaged eggs are really fun to use with the boys.  They go nuts trying to find them.  I have video from last year that is 20 minutes long of the boys looking for these in a very small space, our front porch.  They are really hard to find even right out in the open.
