Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT)

"A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. THREE are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken."

Easter Egg Extravaganza

This past weekend we pulled out the Paas bins for our annual "Easter Egg Extravaganza". This time we thought we would try a few new dying techniques in addition to the typical "dip and dye". So we set up 3 different stations: traditional bin dipping, tie dying and painting/glitter. LTD took turns and got a chance to try each techniqe and really had fun with it. Dad was responsible for overseeing the tie dye operation while mom helped with the other 2 stations, mainly taming down the glitter application. I believe we STILL have glitter remnants 3 days later which tells you how big of a hit it was :) The dye is almost faded from their little hands and the eggs are being gobbled up pretty quickly. Next up is our annual Camp Clark Easter Egg Hunt this Easter Sunday which is always good for a little fun competition, abundant laughter and sweet smiles.
