2003 -- Tim's parents came from their home in Montana to join us for Easter this year! Tim's two sisters weren't able to make the long journey, but we still had 6 of the young cousins hunting for eggs and 8 adults on a beautiful sunny Sunday at Black Pond Farm.
 |
Our morning began with a 10:30AM Brunch/lunch coffee, juice, chocolate milk, orange juice, farm-fresh eggs in a cloud, multigrain toast, jams, corned beef hash browns, mixed fruit (melons, strawberries, oranges, kiwi and grapes). |
Cousin Michael is 3 months older than Preston.

Noon Easter Egg Hunt in island area by the lower pond plastic eggs filled with little goodies and coins. Along with a surprise for each of the 6 cousins from the Easter Bunny! |

My only goal was to make it a great memorable Easter for the whole family.
I sure hope everyone had as much fun as I did. It's always lots of work. I had plenty of help to make it a success this year!
