Egg Hunt

Easter is a time to celebrate the risen Lord and also spend time with friends and family.  Below are a collection of photos from Easters across the years.

April 1968.  Sister Dede with Easter Bunny.  Love the curtains

The Surro egg hunt was always had eager participants.

Jake - always a boy of moderation.

"This egg is as pretty as me !"

"This one must have money in it !"

Dede, Nan and Me coloring eggs.  Hard to believe in 30 years we have not made many advances in egg coloring technology.  We can't come up with anything better than vinegar ?  Really ? Somebody is asleep at the wheel at the Paas company. 

Behold the masterpiece

How did we know Brett was going to get this egg ?

Tired

I have a love/hate relationship with sleep.  On one hand it is a necessary human function but it gets in the way of getting all the stuff done on my list.  Here are some shots of people catching some ZZZZs.

My sister Dede tired from the journey.  

"It is taking forever for Mom to make my lunch - I am going to catch some ZZZZs"

Not sure if Jake knocked himself unconscious or is sleeping

Is it midnight yet ?

Jeff sleeping off the pancakes

Three Olen kids down for the count.  Note the large drool spot on Brett's shirt.

Nap time on top of Rattlesnake

Umm I think the seat belt is too high

Kelsey a few days old

Jeff shirtless and sleeping

Trick or Treat

This is the time of year that people dress up in costumes to get some candy.  A little suprised I could not dig up a picture of me dressed up as Dracula - as I am reasonably certain that I wore that same costume for 7 straight years.   Anyway - here is the tribute to costumes....

Me and the Brownie uniform.  I was into cross-dressing before it was vogue

Anybody want to be Robin ??  Anyone ??

"Am I a clown ? Do I amuse you ?

Kelsey as a girl Power Ranger.  I miss those days...

People shut off their lights when they saw this crowd coming to their door.

Jake O Lantern

Not exactly sure if this a costume or I was just heading to school

Was not aware that my uncle Gary was knighted

Umm - Kath a little old to be trick or treating ?

My favorite - Pull-Up Man !

Animal Attraction

With the exception of my younger brother and his cats, there is not a huge animal lover in the family.  The Kuhn side seems to have a bit more affinity for the canine creatures.  Here is a batch of pictures celebrating the family interacting with various creatures in God's Kingdom.

Try to avert your eyes from the ladies shorts and look at the Elk !  I am going to have Karen and Kelsey try and recreate this photo this summer in Yellowstone.

She still has people eating out of her hands.

Looking pretty natural up on that horse.

Can I bring him home ?

We need some hand sanitizer - STAT !

Turtles are a very underrated animal. 

Does he ever move ?

We drove 3000 miles for this ?

Pretty sure Dede understands the Dolphin speak

My wife's favorite animal.

Let go - I need to get to Tom Thumb

Don't want to get too close

Before Kibble

Who looks happier - me or the horse ?

Animal adventures in the McMahon backyard

Jake trying share Bear's meal

Kibble - looking guilty as usual

One of the lighter moments with Kibble

Nice STP pants Jeffy !
