Things in the South move slowly - obviously I have picked up this southern habit since Easter was several weeks ago and I am just now getting around to posting pictures. You know the old saying.....Better Late Then Never!! That saying fits my life to a "T" lately.....Nevertheless, the Easter Bunny did pay us a visit on a deliciously sunny, spring day!!
Family began arriving after church to eat and hunt eggs! Pooh and Wee Bob were the first to arrive after stopping off at Meme T and Papa G's house to check out what the Easter Bunny had left on their doorstep. The Easter Bunny was busier than Old Saint Nick!
The Easter Bunny also visited the farm where he left a pail full of Sponge Bob favorites - and a small gray bunny.
It was hard to decide what to do first.....hunt eggs or eat. Well, that was a "no brainer"! EAT!!
Food was plentiful with pork roast, corn, baked bean, potato salad, rolls, deviled eggs, sweet tea, banana pudding and fresh STRAWBERRIES!! Wee Bob just wanted strawberries!
Uncle A and Pooh decided to get in a game of Frisbee before the egg hunt only some "little cowboy" kept running away with the Frisbee!
Finally, with stomachs full and arms and legs exercised, the Great Hunt began....
It didn't take long for Wee Bob to get the hang of finding eggs....
Uncle A found a large surprise egg. Wonder what was inside to make him grin???
Before long, Wee Bob had found a whole bucket of eggs. He was delighted to discover that when he opened the eggs they were filled with coins! Wee Bob LOVES coins. More than strawberries or ice cream. More than pizza or Mountain Dew. More than apples sauce or spaghetti!
"I'll just put a few coins in my pocket and save them for a rainy day>"
Pooh found a prize egg too. Wee Bob decided to empty all his little eggs into Pooh's big egg.
Enough egg hunting......time for a little basketball practice with Pappy and.......
just sitting around "shooting the bull"!
Meanwhile, Big A took to "swinging" and Wee Bob and Pooh took to riding toys down the driveway.
Meme T supervised and made sure there were no wrecks. I stood by with my camera ready to "click" at a moment's notice!
Late that afternoon, after everyone went home and all the food was and put away.....WAIT!....did I say there was food left? Let me rephrase that.....after the bowls, glasses and utensils were washed and the paper plates were put in the trash can.....(there, that's better).....JR and I took a ride around the farm to check the cattle and visit with the donkeys. There is nothing like a peaceful, quiet ride across green pastures to remind me that God has truly blessed His land and people.
