Easter

What a fabulous Easter weekend it was! You know it's a good one when you have to break out the SPF 55. Saturday we had our annual Lucas Easter extravaganza. A 12-hour affair complete with an egg hunt for the kids, an "extreme" egg hunt for the grown-ups, a sack race, a spoon race, an egg decorating contest, a copious amount of alcohol and, of course, Amish trivia (don't ask). Who doesn't celebrate Easter with alcohol and Amish trivia? Just a quick recap of the highlights. The defending champion (ME!) defended her title as reigning egg decorating queen with a basket of three eggs decorated like baby bluebirds. Aunt Catherine came in strong with two eggs decorated as a bride and groom complete with a tuxedo and a gilded dress. Andrew came in as runner up with a man wearing suspenders made out of a rubber band -a last ditch effort that paid off. The extreme egg hunt was not as extreme as past years due to one pregnant contender, one contender with a hurt knee, and, let's be honest, we're all getting older. Drew, as in past years, came home withe the most eggs. Over 200 eggs were hidden, most of which contained dollar bills. One even had a twenty dollar bill, which was brought home by the reigning egg decorating queen. A "special" egg was uncovered by Andrew, which was also worth twenty dollars. Andrew, who has an unnatural hopping ability (really, it's crazy) won the sac race by a mile. No one else could even muster up any competition. Drew came come with the spoon race prize. Prizes in the form of lottery tickets were handed out for Amish trivia. (As mentioned, don't ask). Sunday we went to church bright and early and then continued to eat more food all day long and recover. Here are some picture of the boy hunting his eggs and after church.
