EGGstravaganza

A spring EGGstravaganza was held the Saturday before Easter.  We started with an egg-themed brunch that was consumed with gusto.  Next came the egg-drop contest.  Everyone was invited to come up with a contraption to protect a raw egg dropped from a ladder on our back deck down to a plywood target on the ground.  A size limit of 4" cubed was generally enforced (okay, sort of enforced ... maybe just a good idea). 

The entrants lined up ready for the competition.

This one was impressive going down . . . until it hit the plywood!

The kids loved opening up their containers to check on their eggs.


And the winners turned out to be: The oldest contestant - Grandpa.  The youngest contestant - Emersyn.  And one representing the middle - Joey.  Congratulations


We also made scuba diving eggs.

And planted "carrots" in little "gardens". 


Smiles all around! (4/23/11)
