Easter 2011: Shelter Gardens


our first Easter egg hunt this year was saturday at shelter gardens, hosted by the Dirks family.  it was beautiful and other than being a little bit timid, the girls had a blast.



the grass was the perfect length to hide eggs and sometimes you almost stepped on them before actually seeing them.


200 eggs hidden out there for the 0-6 year olds and 100 something on the other side of the garden for the 7-11 year olds.  the Dirks went all out!

 

this little girl has some spunk in her!


the girls and mary dirks.
she is the yw's president in our ward and i have the pleasure of serving with her.  she is incredible in so many ways and her talents never cease to amaze me.  she especially loves little kids.  despite initially putting up a front, my girls have warmed up to her and can't wait to go have a picnic at her house (with her dogs, todd and jeffrey).  we had so much fun and are so grateful for all the incredible people we get to associate with here in MO!!
