What's Easter without a few (thousand) eggs? Check out our Easter Egg fun!
Easter Egg Hunt
The weekend before Easter, we joined an Easter Egg Hunt at the Church of the Savior in Cleveland Heights. There was separate hunt for kids not yet in kindergarten, and the eggs were all hidden outside, despite the light blanket of snow.
The event was BYOB (bring your own basket!), and Ainsley was excited to use her new basket from Auntie Meg & Uncle Nate. Each egg contained a piece of candy.

Eggshelland
On Ainsley's first Easter, we discovered a local family who displays tens of thousands of colored eggshells in their yard every year. We decided to make it an Easter tradition to visit this house each year.
Unfortunately, Ron Manolio, the gentleman who led the whole process - draining & painting each egg - passed away last August at the age of 82. His family decided to do one last display in his memory. They incorporated a picture of Ron and the words, "Thank you all, and goodbye" in eggshells. After 55 years, the community said goodbye to Eggshelland.

| We waited about 30 minutes to get to the house. |

Coloring Eggs
This is the first year we colored Easter Eggs at our house, and I'd say it was a success!
