Easter Egg Hunt, Gillings Style...

GPS

168 Eggs and Even More Candy

The day dawned slightly threatening and cloudy, but nothing will make us give up our GPS Easter egg hunt...the kids wouldn't let us.

After we attended the Mountain View High School Easter Egg hunt, Dawn and I set out to place the Gillings Family GPS Easter egg hunt.  We are always a little worried that someone will find the eggs before we get back, but this year there was no chance, they were nicely hidden in the foothills of Orem canyon. The first egg is always hidden at the house, it contains coordinates to the next egg, which in this case was 5 miles away. On the way up we hit Macey's for a 25 cent hot dog lunch...healthy.

And so it begins...

ON average it takes 5-10 mintues to find the egg, they are not easily coaxed from their hiding places. Many times, we forget where we put them, that makes it even more difficult.

Like this one...

But when they find one, they get excited.

Everyone has a chance to lead, even the smallest...

The final location, very difficult to find and then get the eggs...

She was poked in the eye by a stick, but still got the egg!

The other kids left this one for the oldest.

After we went to the park and climbed on the rock fixtures.

And raced...

It was a little cold, but we loved every minute of it. You know it has turned out well when many of the children procalim that in some ways Easter is more fun than Christmas.
