The Munson Minute: Easter Weekend

The Wades paid us a visit this weekend to celebrate Easter and have the kids hang out. It was a great weekend where the kids played and played and played.......They are both on such even playing fields that it is nice to see them get along so nicely! We tried to capture the holiday spirit and color eggs, fill eggs, find eggs, eat eggs.....you get the picture......

Coloring in full swing.....

It takes a very steady hand....

Mixing and creating.....

Our friends hosted a great hunt for the kids.......240 eggs.......needless to say it is looked forward to by all...... Here are the kids breaking free after the adults caged them for a fair start.........

And their off..... I love how not one of them waited until the garage door was fully opened....

Brady bugs breaking in the opposite direction of the crowd.....smart thinking!

I love that her eyes are looking for the next one as she barely can concentrate to pick up the one she has in her hand.......

Brady boxing out ......

Everyone came out victorious, how can you not with 240 eggs! Thanks Calcateras....

Brady checking out his loot......

Brooke always comments to me "Mom isn't it weird that our best friends are from the same family" Sydney and Brooke get along famously and have determined that they are best friends, Rachel and I have known each other since 5th grade so it is really cute to watch their friendship blossom even though they don't see each other often. We just recently found out Sydney did a speech in her 2nd grade classroom all about her best bud Brooklyn. Cute. I hope they can always remain friends.

Fast forward 30 some years........

Anyone wondering where the boys fit into all this? I forgot to mention Paul and Chris also get along and bond over sports (do they really have a choice? Rachel and I aren't breaking up at this point.....) So they have been trying to get to a Tiger game for YEARS but scheduling and long drives it never seemed to work out until this weekend. Paul bucked up after a 3 hour drive to visit us he hoped in the car again for 2 more hours to land in Detroit and watched the Tigers play the White Sox.........

So yeah they were super bummed that they missed the Annual Calcatera Easter Hunt however hob-nobbing and sitting in front of Chris Chelios wasn't a far second choice.......Yeah I said sitting "in front" of Chelios.....I am sure those were Chris Munson's ORIGINAL seats........haha.

A few more years and these boys will be joining their dads ...........I don't know if it is as easy to scam seats with 4 people.....Maybe that is when Chris will finally buckle down....I doubt it but maybe!
