Hike and Egg Hunt

Today was a good day. It is always nice to have one of those! We woke up, ate breakfast and packed lunch for the day. We met some friends at the Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center in Denton. It is 2900 acres set aside for conservation and education purposes. We took a guided hike to explore Texas nature. 

It was beautiful out there and I am looking forward to taking a family hike once it warms up a bit. The wind was howling today, but we still enjoyed getting outdoors. 

The original plan was to eat lunch and have an Easter egg hunt out there, but it was in the 50's and felt like it was in the 40's with the wind chill factor. So, we ended up in the lobby at church, which was a blessing. Below Ruth and Allyson are playing together; they enjoy each other's company every time they are together. 

After lunch, the kids went around the corner and some of the moms hid eggs for the kids to find. 

It wasn't a free-for-all on the egg hunt. Each child could find 4 eggs to make sure everyone got 4 eggs. Even with the limit, it was just the right amount of candy and goodies. All of the kids enjoyed it, but Finn and Mae really had fun!

We had a great morning and afternoon with friends.
