Easter on Park's Peak had a terrific family theme! The kids began arriving Friday about lunch time. After exploring their old trails, Abbie decided she was going to help her Granddad shovel dirt. Dave got her a short shovel, and figured she'd last perhaps 10 minutes. She wore him out!! He would try to take a break, and she'd announce, "I'm not a quitter!" After they spread the dirt on Friday, she helped with the mulch on Saturday. Meanwhile, Dave needed hot tub therapy badly!!

Of course with Easter comes dying Easter Eggs. We broke so many we had to call and text Uncle Clay to bring up more eggs so that Mom could fix the Easter Feast Saturday night!!
With Uncle Clay's arrival on Saturday, the hiking began. They explored part of Chimney Rock State Park that is at the end of Shumont Road. From one of the rock outcroppings, they could see Lake Lure. Abbie proved just as strong of a hiker as she was a shovel-er!
 
Saturday night brought the Easter Feast of salmon on the new green egg (see in background of egg dying picture - Dave made a new, terrific nest!), sweet potato quiche and an Easter Egg made of fruit. Ella proved she can measure flour and sugar and break eggs and helped Gammy make carrot cake blondies. They were a hit. We barely had enough left for dessert at the feast! We timed the feast for half time of the first game of the Final 4 and enjoyed watching both games, though they would have been better with ACC teams!
Sunday we worshiped at The Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration in Bat Cave. David liked the old church pews and mountain architecture and the girls liked the egg hunt after church. Having eaten all of the dessert at the feast was NOT a problem, as the Easter Bunny provided a LOT of candy.

That is what is so great about being a grandmother at Easter! You sugar up the grandkids and then send them home with their parents!! LOL Emily sent me this picture from the stop sign in Lake Lure...Looks like the sugar didn't last long!!
