We have started a tradition with the youth kids. Each year we do a midnight Easter egg hunt. We halve always lived next to or had a field to hide eggs in and there are camouflage eggs for prizes. They come out for pizza and movies and when it is dark enough we all go outside and the sport begins. I try to tell them it is not a contact sport and to show the love of Christ but somehow adrenalin prevails. Here is them sitting nicely watching a movie before hand. Here is a few out searching for eggs. They don't really care about the chocolate filled ones. Everyone is looking for the camo eggs that will mean they get a prize and they all know it means the latest Christian CD's.

This is after over an hour searching in the field. They gave up and came in to unload their eggs and see who got prizes. (I had 16 prize eggs and only 11 were found. Some went back out to look but Alas after a month they are still hidden). Of course when you have over a dozen teens in a small apartment and hundreds of plastic eggs a fight is bound to break out and that is exactly what happened. You can see the eggs in mid flight here.
Yes that is scott cowarding behind the fluffy pink pillow. (actually it was a good idea. When you have plastic eggs thrown at you at mac force they sting a bit.)

The Blog looks great!! Congrats on working it out. Took me ages to work out how to put photos on. I do find it easier to update the blog than email. I tend to only email those that I have something personal to say now. I have to say that yes I can see some errors but I only see them because I'm focused on it for my study. I see them everywhere now! I think Scott is a lot like my Terry. When I have a problem to work out he comes along and looks at it then solves it straight away! Frustrating!! Youth sound so much fun to be around, we're still bummed that we can't come over (yet). And I will be updating my blog more often. the holidays are over and things will swing back into routine, I hope! Oh you might need to work out how to allow comments by people without a blog, otherwise they can't. I think its in the setup bit of your blog, where you type your info and stuff.Love to all.
