Easter Egg Hunt at Lake Willastein

We were so excited about the Easter Egg Hunt this year at Lake Willastein. Thankfully the rain moved out before Saturday morning.

Trying to hurry to get to our spot before the horn blew....run!


Eggs and candy for the 4 years and under

Waiting on the horn to blow with his friend from church Ben Carlyle

Organized chaos!



Getting more candy than eggs!


Showing off his loot!
Looking in the eggs to see what he found




Giving the Easter Bunny a hug. He kept saying it was a "small bunny". When I looked back at last years pic of him with the bunny....I saw why....

That was a really tall bunny last year!

We started a new Herring Easter tradition at our house this year....passing out treat bags with invite cards to church to our neighbors this year. We loaded Dalton and the bags in the wagon and at every house he would run up to the door, ring the doorbell, and say "Happy Easter!" and give them the bag. Sometimes he would need to be reminded to say "Happy Easter!" not "Trick or Treat!". We had a great time doing this. The response of some of our neighbors was priceless! I think we had low expectations, though, because when one lady said, "Okay, thanks! We will probably come!", we really did not know what to say next...that was not part of the script! Ha! I am praying that God will use this simple little thing to reach others for Him this Easter!
