Easter Festivities

The Easter Basket Search

Aaahhh, the Easter Bunny - what a character! The Easter Bunny visited us last year at my parents' condo at Myrtle Beach as well as this year. It's not a large place, but she needed to find new places to hid the Easter baskets.

Matthew got a simple place - in the pantry. We had to keep the others from telling him.

Zack's was hidden behind some books in the TV cabinet. It took a few looks before someone thought to move stuff around, and they saw it.


Alex's basket was deconstructed and shoved in the back of the dishwasher. Rachel opened the dishwasher but did not check well. Alex (after starting to get frustrated) decided to just check everything and stumbled on it.




Apparently, she decided that Rachel was a super finder because she hid hers in the trash can under the bag. After a bunch of sulking and even some crying, we pointed out that we had actually seen the basket and might give her some clues.


Look at that lip!

All was fine once the basket was found!

The best we could do!

We got to play on the beach and had a fun Easter egg hunt later in the day. It was just us, but it was a nice day. More pics of our vacation to come soon.

Wow! I didn't realize Alex had lost so many teeth! He can take us all out for ice cream after the race with all his tooth fairy money. :) You guys look great!

I'm going to refer Chris to your post so he can understand what I mean when I say we need to REALLY hide the Easter baskets. He says they're too big and I have these fancy plastic bags on them but that's just an excuse....I love the Easter pictures-- especially the one of Jes and Rachel. Beautiful.
We can't wait to see you guys. Just two months.

Wow! Those kids dress up well. We usually see you in your throw rocks in the river duds. Love your dress, Jes! Great color.
