Hunter's Easter Egg Hunt in Bettendorf!

Here's the famous Easter Bunny! Hunter gave him a high-five and then cried. He has to remind us quite often now that he does NOT like the Easter Bunny!!
Here's Hunter at the starting line! We arrived early (for once in our lives) so Hunter was in the front row. You can see on the field behind him there was candy tossed everywhere. It wasn't the Easter "egg" hunt we were expecting but Hunter had a blast anyways. Unfortunately, he now thinks it is ok to pick up candy off the ground. I wish we could have personally thanked the child that threw their chewed gum onto the ground in the parking lot Hunter found as we were leaving!


Next time we will know to bring a helmet and shoulder pads for Hunter!! Not because of the other children, rather the number of parents that ran into him frantically scooping up candy for their kids. I think Jeremai and I had more fun laughing at the adults than Hunter had picking up candy with all the kids!




Hunter got another chance at a true Easter egg hunt at Palmer College. He really enjoyed himself and actually like the Easter bunny for about 30 seconds... just long enough to get a snap shot.

Our group on a mountain hike. We found colored rock we used to paint our bodies. As you can see some of us took it to a new level.

This is a picture of a village of Capao in the mountains. We had to walk a mile on a dirt road to get to and from the hotel and village.

Here is a shot of our adjusting clinic. We are in a local school in Feira de Santana.
