We had many Easter adventures over the last couple of weeks. It started off with Grandma Peterson coming down on the Jerauld Spring Break Van-O-Fun! We then had a fun filled weekend of eating out, free babysitting (by grandma), and a Easter Egg hunt to remember. We went to a community Easter EGG Hunt Sponsored by Grace Point Church, it was lots of fun with free ice cream, free kids crafts, free bounce houses, and a HUGE huge egg hunt where 25,000 eggs where dropped from a helicopter! Sounds great huh…. well its all fun and games until your child gets lost in a crowd of THOUSANDS!!!! In the 4-6 age area parents were supposed to stay behind the lines while the kids gathered eggs, unfortunately no one got the memo, so when Gracie ran out to get her eggs we lost her in the huge crowd. I was in a panic!!! My mom stayed with the other girls while Matt and I searched fro Gracie. It was horrendous, people everywhere. We split up can were calling for Gracie, while several other parents were shouting for their kids too. I got a feeling to stop and pray, so that’s just what I did. I stopped in the middle of the field with thousands of people passing by and prayed. Then I saw Matt with Gracie! He had found her with another little girl about her age and her mother. They were just about to take her to the kids lost and found tent. I was so relieved- but because of this we will never go to this big even again- It scared us to death. My girlfriend Alisha had also come to this activity with their family and their youngest got lost too.. after searching a good deal they were able to find her in the Lost Child Tent crying and worried. both mother and child cried that day. It was insane- i was so embarrassed to have taken my friend to such a big out of control event.
The kids were very spoiled and able to go to another Easter Egg hunt at their Uncle Phillips. Phillip has a 5acre farm in Hiko, Nv and the kids got to search for eggs in his park. They rode a pony and 4 wheelers, and play with their cousins. The Easter Bunny found them in Hiko, and left them a fun Bug Egg filled basket and they even got to go to Grandma Spencer’s church on Easter Sunday in their new dresses. We had a great time!!
