A Special Prize for Easter

Axel enjoyed the hunt, you could say he was a good egg.

When dad and I were hiding the first eggs we found a small lizard and caught it. We decided to put the lizard into a plastic egg, write Special Prize on it, and hide it a nice shady spot. Desi was the lucky recipient. She picked it up and said, "Oh, Special Prize!" and promptly pried it open...
I barely had time to point the camera to snap the look on her face as the lizard jumped out. Priceless.


Here is Leah and Dez holding "Special Prize"and his Easter home.

Leah seemed to like Special Prize more than Dez.


Axel was oblivious and continued on the hunt for eggs. Note the size 6 outfit from Mexico Grandma and Grandpa brought back. Fits him perfectly!


Dez isn't too old for egg hunting and recovered from her surprise nicely.


Leah found an egg floating in the pool.


We hid some so well that we had to retrieve them ourselves.


Special Prize found a warm home on Axel's head. He continued to be oblivious.


Axel was excited to discover you could eat the treasures collected from the lawn. Hopefully he doesn't carry this lesson over to other lawn "finds".
