Belated Easter

My parents graciously agreed to watch the two big boys while Doug, Spencer and I went to a home school convention in Cincinnati the week after Easter.  We decided to move Easter by a week so we could celebrate with my parents.

The big boys went to the farm while we were at the convention.

They dyed a ton of Easter eggs.

Spencer and Doug went up on a high rooftop observation deck while I was attending convention sessions.

When we were all back at my parents' house we did an Easter egg hunt.  I only have a good picture of Spencer "hunting"; the big boys were moving too fast.

A good time was had by all.

Supplies:

Spin the salad spinner and when it stops take off the cover to reveal the power of centrifugal force.

Repeat.
