UCUMC Egg Hunt

Here are some pictures from today's Easter egg hunt at our church. Before the egg hunt, there was a "walk through Jerusalem" set up in our Sanctuary where the kids can be transported back in time to see what it was like to live in Jesus' time (ok, so it was a modernistic view of what it was like, but more rustic than these kids will ever know :) ). Savannah enjoyed playing different games they had set up and listening to the music put on by the children's choir. I think we are going to get her involved in the children's choir next year. She really loves music and I think she would have a great time. As you can see, there was also a little petting zoo set up outside. Savannah enjoyed petting the goats, rabbits and guinea pigs.

Savannah's Uncle Guy and Aunt Carol Lynn generously gave Savannah Ashley and Christopher's old wooden "tree house" (playground set) to play with. So, the second half of the day involved trying to determine what all we would need to get to put it back together. It has been sitting in their backyard in pieces since their move from North Carolina to Florida. We, of course, had to visit Home Depot to get the items needed. So, Brian, Savannah, my mom and dad and I all headed off to Home Depot. Now, I am not sure about how it is in your family, but I have found that there is something that comes over both Brian and my dad when they step into a Home Dept. It is a total time warp, meaning we end up in there FOREVER! Mom, Savannah and I finally ended up hanging out at the end of an aisle while they (being dad and Brian) explored the nails and screws for what felt like hours. We finally resorted to coaching Savannah to yell out "Papa, hurry up!". I am glad to say that we did finally make it out of there, hopefully with everything we needed, because, typically there ends up needing to be more than one trip whenever there is a project. Anyway, Savannah is very excited and we hope to have it put together tomorrow.

We ended the day by going to Red Lobsters (Savannah's name for it). She has been wanting to go there for a while. Unfortunately, it has to be planned just right to make sure we do not have too much of a wait. So, basically, we have to go early. The timing worked today so we heading off. Once there, she insisted she wanted fish to eat (yellow fish to be exact). Well, we went ahead and ordered for her, and guess what, she ate it! Wow! Who would guess I would have a child who liked to eat fish? Well, she definitely gets that from Brian. :)
