Easterin'

















Saturday was the annual Brown's Easterin' Reunion near Notom, UT. At times it was the coldest year I can ever recall but we all still had a good time. It was fun to watch Kade be like one of the 'grown-up' kids. He headed up and down the huge clay hills by himself-- scared me a little but I think it's just because I don't want to think he's getting bigger.
The boys were so excited for the awesome egg hunt that the Grandparents do ever year, mainly to find eggs filled with candy. (Side note: Ever since I got out the Easter decorations the boys have checked the eggs every morning hoping to find candy in them. Clint would quickly pop an egg open and then with much disappointment would say, "Nope. Not any.")
Rolling/throwing the eggs down the hill was funny too. We tried to get Kade to throw one egg at a time and watch what happened to the egg as it went down the hill before he threw another but oh no. He preferred the double shot method. He loaded both hands and chucked them as hard as he could, then he quickly reloaded and threw again. Needless to say his dozen eggs were gone in a flash.
Clint had a blast sliding down the hill on his bottom. He could have done it all day; he asked continuously.

glad you had a good Easter, sorry to hear Kade has so much problems with his asthma I can really relate
to him and how people look at you when you can't stop coughing and wheezing.

That's right-- we can sure Easter! :D
We use to go a little ways on the turn off to Notom and then started going to the clay hills just a little further down the road a little over 20 years ago. Man that makes me feel old!
