the easter that was
Easter turned out to be busier than either manwhoreforhire and I expected. We headed out to my parents in Roseville for breakfast in the morning, and then turned around and headed for his sister's house in El Dorado Hills. On the way there, he finally heard he could grab his youngest son for the afternoon so we stopped to pick him up.
manwhoreforhire and his sister's husband (Rich) take their easter egg hiding roles very seriously. Let's just say some of the eggs were camouflaged with spray paint and there were talks of boobytrapping an egg with a dead lizzard (the idea only being rejected because Rich had tossed all the dead lizzards in the fountain the day before). I was tasked with preventing his youngest son from cheating, for which I should be awarded many medals for patience. When the boys were finally let loose to search for the eggs, they both zeroed in on the only visible egg at the bottom of the 68 degree pool. As if the frigid temperatures were not enough, a giant golden retriever (about the size of a small child) excitedly jumped in after the boys (hereafter known as the pool monster, guardian of the egg) and decided they were playing with him. After 40 mins or so, the boys found the other 7 eggs. Lunch was eaten and then we took off to drop off his youngest. Once we were home, we immediately napped for about 2 hours, and vegged the rest of the night.
