My (new) Aunt and Uncle organized a flashlight egg hunt the weekend after Easter. This even was held at my Grandpa's house, a enchanting mini-farm (he has a real larger farm close by) in a very tiny rural town.
The beauty of this idea is that all the supplies were 50-75% off, and anything involving flashlights ratchets up the excitement.
The hidden beauty of this event was that the Glee Club my Grandpa sings with was performing that night as well. Although he has performed with this group on and off for many many years I have never been to a performance. Can you believe that? Why have I never been? I am still trying to figure that one out.
It was wonderful.
So inspiring to see normal everyday people working together to create something great.
I'm pretty proud to be my Grandpa's Granddaughter.
(my cousin sings too-he's a great guy, has a darling family)
So glad my kids got to hear/see the concert. There is lots of musical talent on both sides of their family tree. Crossing my fingers it's made it's way down to them.
Tatum (sweetie-pie on left) has a love of music. She gave the accordion solo a standing ovation!
Then on to Grandpa's house/mini farm for the flashlight hunt.
3 of my cousin's families ended up canceling at the last minute which meant there were TONS and TONS of eggs to be found by the rest of the kids. It was a chilly night, and rained before and after our hunt, but we had a little bon-fire going, and were running around so we stayed warm.
Everyone loved it....even the two teenage girls were squealing with delight.
Top it off with a silly string fight and thats a rockin' party.
Happy Spring!!
