Last Saturday we packed up the kids and went to the Marble Family Easter picnic. We went up early enough to go hide easter eggs with dad but when we got up on the hill most everyone was already there, half an hour early. After saying the pledge of Allegiance and Born Free in America, a Marble tradition at any gathering, we roasted hot dogs and sat around to talk. When all were done and playing, Dad, Eric, Nate and I went about hiding tons of easter eggs in the sagebrush. It is fun to see the next generation of kids get so excited to find them. I can remember when we were all that small and we would roll eggs down the hill behind what is now Dad's house. Then it was time for the scavenger hunt for the older kids. We all got in 3 different vehicles to see who got done first. Casey and I were in the last vehicle and Breton decided he had to stop at the gate to delay everyone, really it was to do his crossword puzzle for their first clue. After about 5 or 6 stops we finally found out goodies and went back up on the hill. We were the last ones there, thanks to someone "accidentally" taking one of our clues. I have not lived in that area for over 15 years but I was able to figure out what the 3 clue was. The boys had a lot of fun and I hope we can continue this fun tradition for a very long time.
