Our kids and Randy’s brother’s kids, ages 17 - 2. Â
We took a trip to NC during Memorial Day weekend, and I’m just NOW posting about it (much to my mother’s dismay…). We took so many pictures, that going through them has been the daunting task that I’ve cleverly avoided until now. Honestly, though, I’ve only gone through half and only the LAST half of the trip. Too late to finish (yawn), so I’ll just post our trip in parts. You don’t mind, do you?
We usually head home to NC around Easter, because Randy’s mom Ann has a HUGE egg hunt that she puts on for the kids. This year, we decided to go home later so the egg hunt just got postponed a bit. Same amount of fun, no matter when it happens!
Lainey looked hard for those eggs! Gram helped her a lot, too.Â
Pa-Paul helped with the out-of-reach eggs.Â
Currently his favorite shirt.Â
stretch, boy! Don’t you just love the coordinated outfit?
Marley always has time to pose.Â
Abbey (in white shirt) reading her clues. The big kids (age 12 and up) do the hiding for the younger kid’s hunt and then Gram makes up clues for them to find their giant filled eggs.Â
Now, for some clowning around…Â

Tony kept making us laugh, the big goon.Â
Going through the egg hunt loot…
Yes, she must spend HOURS putting all these eggs together. There are 10 kids, and each child must have at least 20 eggs.Â
Next installment of our NC trip coming up soon!

I have been checking every day to see the pictures taken here !!! And I LOVE them all. I really like using the arched bench to take the group picture and the ones of you/Randy and Tony/Dee Dee are great.
Yes, it does take a lot of work to have the hunt, but I do it out of love. Each of the 7 younger kids had about 40 eggs filled with all types of goodies. The older 4 have a large “half” egg each that they find.
This was Lainey’s second “hunt” and I think she really enjoyed it. Do you have a picture of me with her? I carried a large egg basket and Lainey had the regular Easter basket. She would put all the big eggs in my basket and the smaller ones in hers. LOL She figured it out real quick that the larger ones took up too much room in hers.
God just reminded my heart that I am so blessed to have 2 wonderful sons, 2 wonderful daughter-in-laws and 11 wonderful grandchildren. How blessed I am…..
