Easter Weekend @ the Binghams

Friday, April 16, 2010

We spent Easter weekend in Vernal with Jamie and Jake and thier family and everyone had such a good time! The kids got along great and we only had one tiny pants wetting incident. WAHOO!!! I huge improvement from when we were there six months ago and the girls wet through every pair of pants we bight. SIGH. But this weekend was great! On Saturday we took the kids to the Dinosaur Mueseam for an Easter Egg hunt and they had a ton of fun. We stuffed all 10 of us into Josh's car since Jamie's was having trouble. We did pretty darn good! The kids got lots of eggs and then cashed them in at the end for prizes. Afterwards we went to the park for another Easter Egg hunt. There were thousands and thousands of real dyed eggs all over. There were also tons of kids. I was with Shaylee and Josh was with Spencer. The rest of the kids were at thier own start lines according to age. When they finally said GO! it was madness!!!! we ran so fast and ended up getting just three eggs. Spencer and Josh got two, Baylie and Jaxon got two or three each and Kimberlee got just one. She was quite upset until we let her know everyone got just abuot the same amount. This hunt seemed like it would be fun, but didn't turn out quite that way. It didn't seem too well orchestrated. HAHA. But all well! This weekend was also General Conference and so we got the chance to listen to our prophets and teachers. There were some great talks and some very inpiring testimonies. We all enjoyed it very much. Heidi and Jordan drove down Saturday afternoon and it was really fun to have a bunch of us there together. We missed Dad, Darin, Chandra, Camille, and of course McKay. On Easter morning the kids had a fun time doing an Easter hunt we put together at the house. Jake got everyone together for some very meaningful scriptures and a video about Easter and what it means. The kids seemed to enjoy it a lot, and I thought it was a great Easter morning message. We went to Scott and Debbie's house for lunch, all 13 of us! They prepared an amazing Easter meal and it was just wonderful! The potato salad was amazing. Shaylee discovered she likes cooked cabbage and artichokes. She was eating them like crazy! And Josh tried asparagus and liked it. YAY. We watched the last session of General Conference there and it was great. Afterwards we put the pinata Jamie made up and the kids took turns hitting it. They love pinatas! Sadly, we did have to head home. So after a few more minutes of playing on the four wheelers, we said goodbye and got packed back in our car. We really did have a great time. Thanks to Jamie and Jake for having us over!
