Easter Sunday (Part 2)

After egg hunting we headed to mass where we were able to snap our only 2 family pictures of the day. Again, it is getting harder and harder to capture a "good" photo but like I said- at least its documented!

After mass we headed to Middletown. I think that that was the last time that TJ was in his outfit because as soon as we got to Middletown he wanted to go see the sheep with Papa Tom!

The Eckler kids- all grown up!

Well almost Kyle graduates this May :)

Gina and Kale hunting eggs (conveniently located so not a lot of bending over!)

Papa Tom helping TJ hunt eggs.

What a princess- a cute Easter dress and boots to match! Not really but they did come in handy since it was a little soggy still!

Andi pulling Kale and Coop around in the wagon.

Still hanging out...the boys did a great job of being content in the wagon!

After hunting eggs TJ decided to try to mow...luckily he did not get this one started!

Later that afternoon we headed to my Grandpa Tainter and Granny Dots house where we were treated to yet another delicious meal and egg hunt (of course)!

Andi still excited about hunting eggs and still in her dress! She was in it until we got ready to leave.

They both spotted this egg at the same time and had a race to get there...luckily no fights!

Counting their eggs.

Around 7pm that night we were ready to leave so we got the kids in their jammies and headed for home. We had just got the movie started when we turned on the radio and heard storm warnings and then came to a road block in Gazette...We had a family pow wow in the middle of the road and decided that since there had been tornado's spotted between us and our destinations we had better head back to Grandma's house.

During our 2 plus hour stay they kids were very well behaved especially considering it was bed time and we had loaded up and tried to go home two different times! We kept ourselves busy by playing some ping-pong in the basement. A fun but um interesting time had by all! (Only the Pollard family was able to escape the storm since they were headed in a different direction)

Something tells me we will be back downstairs next time we are there. :)

Travis playing too...I felt bad that he had to drive home late that night so I let him win at the end of our game.

Oh and I forgot to mention the lovely hail storm that we got to hear and experience! Luckily it didn't last too long but the balls were about the size of the ping-pong balls that we were playing with. We were also unfortunate enough to come home with those dents in our vehicles too! An Easter night to remember for sure! Thanks to grandma and grandpa who let us crash at their house until late that night!

Some of the hail that had been brought in (and thrown on the floor)

I tried to get the kids to hold it but as soon as they got them in their hands they threw them on the floor- I guess they thought that they would bounce?!
