The "Easter Eggcitement" at the Johnet's didn't disappoint! We had all the relatives, Em's family, Mark & Sarah and her brother Jacob and Aunt Kat all here for an afternoon of Egg-tivities and of course lots of good food. Everybody passed Francie around and stole her away from unsuspecting cousins whenever possible. It was great to see everybody and John and Jannie threw a great party as usual.

"I'm really related to ALL of these crazy loud people I guess... they keep showing up."

The big contest was the Egg Drop... we had 16 creations to try and keep a raw egg alive after a drop from the third floor balcony. Here is Jannie recording the entries and documenting their assembly methods.

Uncle James, very proud of his rocket egg launch, be-dazzled by Em of course!

It worked! (Aunt Kaky looking like a movie star!)

Drew's egg made it too

Baby Ann's egg survived too (we started to wonder if anybody could create a contraption that would BREAK an egg on impact!) Ann's was in a stuffed duck with a diaper on it (to account for the mis-hap that can happen when you drop a chicken three stories!) Ann let us know this was the first time she had ever put a diaper on anything... wow, and she's a child development major.
